10 Things to Do Before the Corrupted Update in Grow A Garden Roblox

With the Corrupted Update fast approaching in Grow A Garden, preparation is key. This isn’t just another patch—it’s a major update bringing new seeds, pets, mutations, and likely game-changing features. Whether you’re a casual gardener or a dedicated player grinding to the top, this guide will help you prepare with 10 (plus one bonus) must-do tasks before the update drops.

1. Prioritize Zen Egg Pets Over Seed Packs

If you’ve been ignoring the recent Zen update, now’s the time to dive in—specifically for the pets. Focus on hatching pets from the Zen egg, which is one of the strongest in the game right now. Unlike the seed packs (which aren’t too valuable this round), these pets will likely hold their usefulness even after the Corrupted update arrives.

2. Master the Nihonzaru Timer Glitch

This glitch lets you drastically reduce your pet ability cooldowns—from 12 minutes to just 15 seconds. It works with nearly any pet, including high-value ones like the Mimic Octopus. While it might require a bit of research to pull off (check guides or videos for help), the payoff is massive. Use it now while it’s still active.

3. Collect All Available Zen Seeds

While the seeds in the Zen update aren’t top-tier, some—like Spike Mango—are still worth collecting if you’re a completionist. Skip the Robux options, but make sure you at least have one of each from regular gameplay. These seeds may disappear with the new patch.

4. Set Up a Stock Notifier via Discord

Stay ahead of the market with a stock notifier. Join a Discord server (like Cozy’s), assign yourself the proper role, and get alerts the moment high-value items like Aurora Vorales, Bug Egg, or Mythical Gear restock. This is a no-brainer if you’re serious about progression.

5. Stop Spending Chi Coins — Start Hoarding

Do not waste chi coins on upgrades or unnecessary NPCs. The Corrupted update will introduce new seeds and pets, and they’ll likely cost a lot. Save your chi coins now so you can invest quickly once the update goes live. Any coins wasted now could slow you down later.

6. Fill Your Garden with High-Tier Plants Only

Make sure your active garden plots are filled with Divine, Mythical, Prismatic, or Legendary plants. This is especially important with the Tranquil Mutation, which rewards more points based on plant rarity. Avoid low-tier crops like Bamboo, Coconut, or Mango—move those to a secondary save slot.

7. Log in Early for the Celebrity Admin Event

Thirty minutes before the Corrupted update goes live, a celebrity admin event will take place. This is your best shot at farming rare admin-only mutations like:

• Infected
• Radioactive
• Void-Touched
• Galactic

These mutations massively increase your plant value and are nearly impossible to get otherwise. Join early, AFK if needed, and let the mutations roll in.

8. Use the Sprinkler Method on Every Valuable Plant

Don’t overlook this: apply the sprinkler growth method to all your top-tier plants. This ensures they grow massive in size, which, when combined with rare mutations, makes them worth billions. If you’re unsure how the sprinkler trick works, look up a guide and apply it now before the update hits.

9. Take Advantage of Limited-Time Seed Crafting

Go to the crafting station and check the seed crafting tab. Some seeds—like the Grand Volcania—are only available temporarily. It’s nearly as good as the Bone Blossom, so don’t miss your chance to craft it before it disappears. These seeds rotate with each update and may not return.

10. Prepare for a Pricey New Feature

If history repeats itself, the Corrupted update may include an expensive new feature. The save slot feature cost 25 billion shackles when it launched—don’t get caught unprepared again. Stockpile money and grow valuable plants now so you can afford whatever the developers throw in next.

This should go without saying, but: save up as much currency as you possibly can. Whether it’s for buying gear, seeds, eggs, or a new system altogether, you’ll need cash on hand. Don’t be the player who misses out because they didn’t have enough saved up when the update landed.

The Corrupted Update in Grow A Garden is shaping up to be one of the biggest additions to the game yet. With new features, pets, and admin interactions, now is the time to get strategic. Use this prep list as a guide, and you’ll be far ahead of the curve when the update drops. Don’t just sit and wait—get your garden ready.
