How to Get & Farm Great Pumpkin Grow a Garden

The Great Pumpkin Seed in Roblox Grow a Garden has become one of the most talked-about mysteries in the game’s community. With only one confirmed restock by an admin, most players have never had the chance to grow this rare plant.

But recently, a leak from the developers hinted that a secret ritual might allow players to instantly get the Great Pumpkin Seed — no waiting, no shop restock, and no luck-based RNG. Below, we’ll go over everything we know about this ritual, including how it might work, what the developers said, and how you can try it yourself.

What Is the Great Pumpkin Ritual?

The Great Pumpkin Ritual is a rumored method to summon or restock the rare Great Pumpkin Seed without waiting for it to appear in the store. This rumor began after developer Adrian, one of the owners of Grow a Garden, posted a cryptic message in the official Discord server saying:

“Imagine if we added a secret ritual you had to do to restock the Great Pumpkin. Or are they already there? Who knows? No one will believe you if you found it or didn’t. The secrets will stay secret.”

This message sent the entire community into theory mode, with players testing different combinations of actions to uncover the so-called “ritual.” While nothing has been confirmed as official yet, players believe it involves the Hex Serpent, a rare pet introduced in the latest update.

How the Hex Serpent Might Be the Key

The Hex Serpent is currently the only pet in Grow a Garden that can perform “ritual-like” actions. Its special ability allows it to consume single-harvest plants every 12 minutes inside a Hex Circle cosmetic — granting random rewards depending on the rarity of the crops used.

Many believe that this “ritual” system is the developer’s hidden clue. The theory goes like this:

1. Equip or place a Hex Circle cosmetic on your plot.
2. Plant five single-harvest crops (preferably pumpkins or other rare plants) inside the circle.
3. Wait for the Hex Serpent to perform its ritual.
4. After the animation, you’ll receive random rewards — and possibly the Great Pumpkin Seed.

While there’s no guaranteed proof yet, players have reported that the ritual gives out a variety of rewards such as coins, watering cans, and pumpkins. The Great Pumpkin Seed, however, has only been mentioned in a few unverified cases — making it one of the rarest possible outcomes.

Other Theories and Community Tests

Since the leak, players have shared multiple theories about how to perform the ritual correctly. Here are the most common ones:

• Halloween Night Theory: Perform the ritual during the in-game Halloween night event when the shop is open. Some players believe this timing affects the ritual outcome.
• Pumpkin Holding Method: Gather multiple players to stand inside the Hex Circle, each holding a pumpkin, and activate the ritual simultaneously.
• Specific Crop Combination: Plant five different single-harvest crops instead of five of the same type to trigger a unique response.
• Jack-o’-Lantern or Golden Goose Theory: Some believe using specific limited seeds inside the Hex Circle might boost your chances.

Although none of these methods are confirmed, experimenting with them might lead to clues once the ritual is properly discovered.

How to Try the Ritual Yourself

If you want to test this theory in your own game, here’s how you can do it step-by-step:

1. Get the Hex Serpent Pet You can obtain it through the Digging Quest, though it only has a 2% drop chance.
2. Buy or Equip the Hex Circle Cosmetic Available in the in-game marketplace.
3. Prepare Five Single-Harvest Crops Pumpkins are the most common choice, but try using other rare crops too.
4. Plant Them in the Circle Make sure they’re fully grown before the ritual begins.
5. Wait for the Hex Serpent’s Ritual Timer It activates roughly every 12 minutes. Stay near your plot to watch it.
6. Observe and Record Results Take note of what rewards you receive each time to track possible patterns.

Even if you don’t get the Great Pumpkin Seed right away, this process can still yield valuable items while keeping you ready for future discoveries.

Right now, the Great Pumpkin Ritual remains one of Grow a Garden’s biggest mysteries. While many theories point toward the Hex Serpent and Hex Circle mechanics, no one has fully confirmed the exact trigger for summoning the Great Pumpkin Seed. Still, testing these methods is part of the fun — and you might just be the first to crack the code.

Keep experimenting, coordinate with the community, and stay alert for developer hints or leaks in upcoming Halloween updates. Who knows — the next ritual you perform might be the one that brings the Great Pumpkin back to life.
