Grow a Garden Mutations Guide
Mutations are value multipliers on growing crops. Weather (rain, storms, frost, event weather) is the main source. Multipliers can stack, which is how huge sale prices happen. Leave crops planted during weather, then harvest.
What a mutation is
A mutated crop sells for more than a plain one. The game rolls traits while the plant is growing. Several traits on one crop compound. That is the real money, not planting one extra carrot.
Weather
Weather is server-wide. Rain is the common “wet” style mutation and often speeds growth. Thunderstorms, frost, bee/pollination weather, and admin events add rarer traits. If weather hits, do not panic-harvest everything — let it sit unless the plant is about to despawn or you need bag space.
Pets and gear
Some pets and sprays raise mutation or Gold/Rainbow-style variant odds. They stack with weather. Sprinklers help growth speed so more rolls happen per hour.
Admin events
Grow a Garden runs loud admin-abuse weather events. If you care about ultra-rare mutations, be planted before the event, not shopping mid-storm.
