🌱 Grow a Garden: Complete Guide to Crop Mutations
In the wildly popular Roblox game Grow a Garden, farming isn’t just about planting and harvesting—it’s about evolving. One of the most exciting and valuable features in the game is the mutation system, which transforms ordinary crops into rare, high-value variants under special conditions.
This guide provides a complete breakdown of all known mutations, how they work, how to trigger them, and how to stack them for maximum profit.
🧬 What Are Crop Mutations?
Crop mutations are special effects that alter a crop’s appearance and selling price. These mutations occur due to environmental conditions, weather, pets, events, or random chance.
There are two main types:
-
Growth Mutations – visually striking, rare mutations with high value multipliers.
-
Environmental Mutations – temporary, stackable effects triggered by weather, pets, or tools.
🌟 Growth Mutations
These are powerful mutations that drastically increase crop value. A crop can only have one Growth Mutation at a time.
| Mutation Name | Multiplier | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Mutation | ×20 | ~1% chance; boosted by Dragonfly pet |
| Rainbow Mutation | ×50 | ~0.1% chance; boosted by Butterfly pet |
Note: You cannot have both Golden and Rainbow on the same crop.
🌦️ Environmental Mutations
Environmental Mutations are temporary effects influenced by the world around your garden. These can stack with each other and with Growth Mutations.
| Mutation Name | Multiplier | Trigger Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Wet Mutation | ×2 | Rain, Thunderstorms, Sprinklers, Turtle/Otter pets |
| Windstruck Mutation | ×2 | Wind or Hurricane weather, wind-based pets |
| Moonlit Mutation | ×2 | Night time, Raccoon pet |
| Chilled Mutation | ×2 | Frost weather, Polar Bear pet |
| Choc Mutation | ×2 | Chocolate rain, spray, or Raccoon pet |
| Pollinated Mutation | ×3 | Bee swarm event, Bee pet |
| Sandy Mutation | ×3 | Sandstorm weather |
| Clay Mutation | ×5 | Occurs when Wet + Sandy combine |
| Verdant Mutation | ×5 | Greenlight event, Crimson Parrot pet |
| Bloodlit Mutation | ×5 | Blood Moon event, Kappa pet |
| Twisted Mutation | ×5 | Tornado weather, Pterodactyl pet |
| Drenched Mutation | ×5 | Tropical rain (stronger version of Wet) |
| HoneyGlazed Mutation | ×5 | Honey sprinkler, Bumblebear pet |
| Cloudtouched Mutation | ×5 | Cloud spray, Parrot pet |
| Frozen Mutation | ×10 | Combo of Wet/Drenched + Chilled, or Polar Bear effects |
| Tempestuous Mutation | ×19 | Combo of Windstruck + Twisted |
⚠️ Note: Some mutations are mutually exclusive (e.g., you can’t have Wet and Drenched at once).
🎉 Limited-Time & Admin Mutations
Some rare mutations only occur during special events or with admin intervention:
| Mutation Name | Multiplier | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Burnt Mutation | ×4 | Via Cooked Owl pet or Burnt Spray |
| Meteoric Mutation | ×125 | Admin-only meteor weather |
| Voidtouched Mutation | ×135 | Admin-only Voidstorm |
📈 Stacking Mutations for Maximum Profit
Mutations stack multiplicatively, allowing insane profits when combined properly. Here’s how the stacking works:
🧮 Final Price = Base Value × Growth Multiplier × (1 + Sum of Environmental Multipliers)
Example:
-
A Tomato has base value of ¢10
-
It becomes Golden Mutation (×20)
-
It's also Wet (×2) and Pollinated (×3)
💰 Total = 10 × 20 × (1 + 2 + 3) = 10 × 20 × 6 = ¢1,200 per tomato!
The highest known combo (Rainbow + Tempestuous + other 5×) can push prices into thousands per crop.
🐾 Tips to Get Mutations
-
Equip pets that boost mutation chance (Dragonfly, Butterfly, Polar Bear, Raccoon, Bee, Kappa, etc.)
-
Use weather sprays to force Wet, Chilled, Chocolate, Burnt, etc.
-
Watch for global weather events (Blood Moon, Rain, Tornado, etc.)
-
Plan planting time around Night (for Moonlit) or Storms (for Wet)
-
Stack multiple compatible mutations using timing and pet abilities
