Grow a Garden; Complete Weather Events List

Permanent Weather Events in Grow a Garden

Let’s dive deep into each weather type, starting with the events that occur naturally and regularly!

1. Rain — Your Reliable Money Maker

Rain is the most common weather event, occurring approximately every 20 minutes. When those dark clouds roll in and droplets start falling, it’s time to maximize your profits!

Effects:

• 50% increased growth speed for ALL crops
• 50% chance to apply Wet mutation (2x value)
• Can combine with Chilled to create Frozen mutation (10x value)
• Continuous rain sound effects overlay the background music

Pro Strategy: I always keep my garden fully planted with high-value crops like Dragon Fruit or Traveler’s Fruit. During rain, spam that harvest button – you’ll get 50% more crops AND they’ll all have the Wet mutation!

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do weather events occur in Grow a Garden?

Weather events follow both predictable and random patterns. Predictable events include Rain (every 20 minutes), Night (every hour on the hour), and Bee Swarms (every hour). Random events like Thunderstorms appear every 3+ hours, while admin events are completely manual and often happen before updates.

What’s the most valuable weather mutation?

The Dawnbound mutation from the Sun God event offers the highest value at 150x, followed by Voidtouched at 135x, Meteor Strike’s Meteoric at 125x, and Disco at 125x. Among common events, Celestial (120x) from Meteor Showers is the most valuable.

Can I trigger weather events manually?

No, players cannot trigger weather events. Only game administrators like Jandel and DJ Jhai can manually activate admin weather events. Focus on being prepared when natural weather occurs and watch Discord for admin event announcements!

Do weather events affect all servers?

Yes! All servers created before a weather event starts will experience the same weather simultaneously. This global sync makes weather events exciting community experiences. Servers created after weather starts won’t have that weather.

How can I increase my chances of getting weather mutations?

Use specialized tools: Night Staff for moonlit/bloodlit mutations, Star Caller for celestial mutations, and Tanning Mirrors for sundried mutations. Also, plant more crops to increase your statistical odds and use pets that boost mutation chances!

What happens if I join during a weather event?

If you join a server created after the weather started, you won’t experience that weather event. Always check for active servers during valuable weather like Thunderstorms or admin events!

Can mutations from different weather events stack?

Absolutely! Mutation stacking is where the real profits come from. A crop with Celestial (120x) and Rainbow (50x) would have a 6,000x multiplier! Some mutations like Sundried and Verdant can even combine into Paradisal.

Are the new Prehistoric weather events permanent?

Aurora, Sandstorm, and Tropical Rain have been added as permanent weather events. Meteor Strike is currently admin-only but may become automated later. Check back for updates as the event progresses!

When do admin events typically happen?

Admin events often occur 20 minutes before major updates or during special celebrations. They’re also triggered randomly for community fun. Join the official Discord and enable notifications for the best chance of catching them!

Which weather events give growth speed boosts?

Rain, Thunderstorm, Frost, Aurora, and Tropical Rain all provide a 50% growth speed boost. This makes them perfect for farming fast-growing crops or maximizing harvest cycles during the event duration.

Conclusion

Weather events are the heart and soul of becoming rich in Grow a Garden. From the reliable profit boost of rain to the game-changing mutations from admin events, understanding and maximizing each weather type is crucial for success.

With the new Prehistoric update bringing exciting additions like Aurora, Sandstorm, and the epic Meteor Strike admin event, there’s never been a better time to master the weather system. The potential for 150x multipliers and beyond makes every weather event an opportunity for massive profits!
