⚡ Corrupt Mutation – Grow a Garden Guide

In Grow a Garden (Roblox), the Corrupt Mutation is one of the most powerful and valuable crop transformations in the game. It turns regular crops into dark, lightning-infused versions that not only look dramatic but also sell for 20–25× more than normal. Corrupt crops are also essential for unlocking late-game tools, pets, and progression paths tied to the Corrupt Tree.

🌩️ What Is a Corrupt Mutation?

A Corrupt Mutation is a rare transformation that causes a crop to become shadowy with red and black energy effects. These corrupted crops are tied to the “chaos” or “dark” theme of the game and are used for:

• Selling for massive profits

• Feeding the Corrupt Tree and Corrupt Channeler

• Trading for powerful items like the Corrupt Staff, Corrupted Kodama, and Mutation Sprays

🔮 How to Get Corrupt Mutations

There are multiple ways to trigger a Corrupt Mutation, ranging from passive weather events to active tools and pets:

1. Corrupted Aura Weather (Random Event)

• Appears roughly once every few in-game hours

• Lasts for around 10 minutes

• During this time, harvesting crops has a chance to trigger Corrupt mutations automatically

• Works best when you mass plant just before the event starts

2. Corrupt Staff

• A placeable item that affects nearby crops

• When placed during a Corrupted Aura, it significantly increases mutation chances in its area

• Can be obtained from the Corrupt Channeler by trading in Tranquil crops + Sheckles

3. Corrupt Spray

• A single-use item that instantly mutates any crop into a Corrupt version

• Ideal for forcing rare crops to mutate (e.g., crops needed for Corrupt Tree feeding)

• Also acquired from the Corrupt Channeler

4. Pets with Corrupt Mutation Abilities

• Corrupted Kodama: Has a chance to corrupt crops on harvest (around 4%)

• Mutation Shards: Can be equipped to pets to give them Corrupt mutation capability

• These pets are available from the Corrupt Tree as part of its reward system

🌱 What Are Corrupt Mutations Used For?

💰 Sell for Huge Profit

• Corrupt crops sell for 20x or more the value of a normal crop

• Some high-tier crops can sell for 30,000+ Sheckles each when mutated

🌳 Feed the Corrupt Tree

• Feeding Corrupt crops increases the Corrupt Tree’s level

• Unlocks items like:

  • Corrupt Spray

  • Corrupt Staff

  • Mutation Shards

  • Corrupted Kodama Pet

🔓 Unlock Tools & Progression

• Some Mutation-related quests or unlocks only progress with Corrupt variants

🔥 Tips for Farming Corrupt Crops

• Save Tranquil crops — they’re used to trade for Corrupt tools

• Always be planting before a Corrupted Aura — don’t waste the window

• Use the Staff + Pet combo for consistent mutation farming

• Stack multiple Staffs if you can afford them to boost mutation zones

• Use Sprays strategically on rare or slow-growing crops
