What Are Mutations in Grow a Garden?
Mutations are special effects applied to your fruits and vegetables that increase their sale value by a multiplier. These multipliers range widely—from a simple 2x boost to an insane 150x increase. Some mutations appear during weather changes like rain or thunderstorms, some only during rare events, and others require pets or special tools. You can even stack mutations on a single fruit to multiply the value many times over.
Mutations significantly increase the selling price of your crops, making it easier to earn Sheckles and buy upgrades, pets, or better tools. Some rare mutations multiply the crop value over 100 times, and when stacked, can create enormous profits. For example, a fruit with Wet, Shocked, and Rainbow mutations can sell for thousands of times its base value.
Best Ways to Get Mutations
There are multiple ways to trigger mutations:
- Weather events (e.g., Rain, Thunderstorm, Snow)
- Special global events (e.g., Blood Moon, Aurora Borealis, Sun God)
- Admin-exclusive events
- Pets with passive abilities
- Mutation sprays and tools
You can increase your odds by:
- Planting many crops in one area
- Using special pets like Bear Bee or Chicken Zombie
- Equipping mutation-based tools or sprinklers
- Staying active during rare server-wide weather or events
How to Maximize Your Chances for Mutations
- Plant Densely: More plants mean more opportunities for random mutations like Gold or Rainbow.
- Watch the Weather: Weather-based mutations like Wet, Shocked, Chilled, and others depend on dynamic weather changes. Pay attention to the game’s weather and plan accordingly.
- Use Pets: Some pets increase your chance of mutations or apply them passively, such as Chicken Zombie (Zombified), Bear Bee (HoneyGlazed), Cooked Owl (Burnt, Cooked), and Kitsune (Chakra, Foxfire Chakra).
- Participate in Events: Many of the strongest mutations appear during admin or seasonal events like Meteor Shower, Blood Moon, or Alien Invasion. Keep track of these events and prepare your garden.
- Use Tools and Sprinklers: Items like the Night Staff, Chocolate Sprinkler, or mutation sprays can apply mutations more reliably than random chance.

Stacking Mutations for Massive Multipliers
Each mutation adds a “stack”-value you multiply onto the base crop:
- Wet, Chilled, Chocolate, Moonlit +1
- Bloodlit +3
- Frozen +9
- Zombified +24
- Shocked +99
- Celestial +119
- Disco +124
Example: Golden + Shocked + Frozen
- Stack sum = 1 (base) + 99 + 9 = 109
- Total multiplier = 20 × 109 = 2,180×
All-Mutations Supreme: Rainbow + Moonlit + Disco + Celestial + Bloodlit + Zombified + Shocked + Frozen + Chocolate
- Stack sum = 1 + 99 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 124 + 119 + 3 + 24 = 381
- Total multiplier = 50 × 381 = 19,050×
