Weather Effects & Strategies in Grow a Garden
Weather conditions in Grow a Garden can significantly impact your garden's growth and crop development. Here's a breakdown of the different weather patterns and their effects:
Rain
- Effect: Crops grow 50% faster and acquire the Wet mutation, increasing their base selling value.
- Strategy: Stay active in your garden during rain to harvest as many crops as possible. Focus on crops that regenerate quickly to maximize profits.
Thunderstorm
- Effect: Crops grow 50% faster and may receive the Shocked mutation, further enhancing their value. They can also become Wet due to the storm.
- Strategy: Similar to rain, prioritize harvesting during this event to benefit from the accelerated growth and valuable mutations.
Frost
- Effect: Crops grow faster. Those with the Wet mutation can become Frozen (x10 value), while others may become Chilled (x2 value).
- Strategy: Utilize this event to harvest high-value Frozen crops, especially if they were previously Wet.
Meteor Shower
- Effect: Meteors may strike crops, granting the Celestial mutation (x120 value).
- Strategy: Use the Star Caller to direct meteors to your crops, maximizing the chance of obtaining Celestial mutations.
Nighttime
- Effect: Some crops become Moonlit (x2 value) during this 10-minute event.
- Strategy: Use the Night Staff to increase the number of Moonlit crops.
Blood Moon
- Effect: Crops can become Bloodlit (x4 value), and a special shop appears.
- Strategy: Take advantage of the Blood Moon shop and harvest Bloodlit crops for higher profits.
Bee Swarm
- Effect: Bees pollinate crops, giving them the Pollinated mutation (x3 value). Pollinated fruits can be exchanged for Honey.
- Strategy: Focus on harvesting Pollinated crops and trading them for Honey during this event.
Windy
- Effect: Crops display a gentle crescent-wind aura and may receive the Windstruck mutation (≈x1.5 value).
- Strategy: Harvest quickly maturing crops during the event to capitalise on Windstruck bonuses.
Gale
- Effect: Strong gusts significantly boost Windstruck chances; players experience pushback and a pale camera tint.
- Strategy: Equip the Recall Wrench or mobility gear to stay near plots and gather Windstruck harvests before they reset.
Tornado
- Effect: One or more tornadoes roam the map, applying the Twisted mutation (x8 value) to crops they contact.
- Strategy: Clear obstacles so the tornado paths through dense plantings, maximising Twisted crop yield.
Aurora Borealis
- Effect: Northern lights illuminate the sky; growth speed rises by 50% and crops can gain the Aurora mutation (x60 value).
- Strategy: Replant premium seeds early and use advanced sprinklers to exploit the accelerated growth window.
Tropical Rain
- Effect: Intense green-hued rain grants +50% growth speed and the Drenched mutation (+1 value).
- Strategy: Pair with future Frost weather for a chance at Frozen crops or simply bulk-harvest Drenched produce.
Drought
- Effect: Soil dries out; some crops may develop the tentative Wiltproof mutation, preventing wither.
- Strategy: Maintain irrigation via sprinklers and prioritise collecting any Wiltproof crops for long-term resilience.
