Hey there, fellow gardeners! I’ve spent countless hours playing Grow a Garden on Roblox, and let me tell you, weather events are where the real magic happens. When I first started, I had no idea how important these weather phenomena were for boosting my crop values. Now? I’m practically a weather event expert, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you.
Weather events in Grow a Garden aren’t just visual effects – they’re your ticket to massive profits through mutations. I’ve seen my crop values skyrocket from a few hundred Sheckles to millions thanks to these events. Trust me, understanding weather events will completely change how you play the game.
Let me walk you through every single weather event in the game, how they work, and most importantly, how you can use them to maximize your garden’s potential.
What Are Weather Events in Grow a Garden?
Before we dive into the specifics, let me explain what weather events actually are. Weather events are server-wide phenomena that affect all players simultaneously. They can boost your plant growth speed, apply mutations to your crops, or sometimes just create chaos (in a fun way, of course!).
I remember when I first discovered that rain wasn’t just for show – it was actually doubling the value of some of my crops! That’s when I realized I needed to pay attention to these events. Now, I keep a weather journal (yes, I’m that dedicated) to track which events give the best results.
Permanent Weather Events: The Foundation of Your Garden
These are the weather events that happen regularly during normal gameplay. They’re the bread and butter of mutation farming, and I’ve spent countless hours studying their patterns.
1. Rain
Mutation: Wet (2x sale value)
Growth Boost: 50% faster
Frequency: Most common event
Rain is your best friend when you’re starting out. I’ve noticed it happens way more often than other events, making it perfect for consistent mutation stacking. The sky turns dark and gloomy, but your crops will love it!
Pro Tip: I always keep some Night Staff handy during rain events. Why? Because Wet + Chilled = Frozen mutation, which is worth way more than either mutation alone!
2. Thunderstorm
Mutation: Shocked (100x sale value!) + 50% chance of Wet
Growth Boost: 50% faster
Frequency: Rare
Oh man, thunderstorms! These are my absolute favorite. When lightning strikes your crops, they get the Shocked mutation, which multiplies their value by 100x! I’ve made millions from a single thunderstorm event.
Personal Experience: Last week, I had a Thunderstorm during a Blood Moon event. My crops got both Shocked and Bloodlit mutations – the value was insane! I earned enough to buy three new pets in one go.
3. Frost
Mutation: Chilled (2x) or Frozen (if combined with Wet)
Growth Boost: 50% faster
Frequency: Less common than rain
Frost events turn the world pale and snowy. Your avatar even shivers, which I find adorable. The Chilled mutation might not seem like much, but when combined with Wet from a previous rain event, you get Frozen mutations that are worth much more.
4. Night
Mutation: Moonlit (2x sale value)
Frequency: Every 4 hours, lasts 10 minutes
Night used to be a limited-time event, but thanks to community feedback (including mine!), it’s now permanent. I love the purple hue the sky gets during these events.
Strategy: Place a Night Staff in your garden during Night events. I’ve found this dramatically increases your chances of getting the Moonlit mutation. It’s a game-changer!
5. Blood Moon
Mutation: Bloodlit (4x sale value)
Frequency: 33% chance when Night would occur
Blood Moons are like Night events on steroids. The sky turns crimson red, and your crops have a chance to get the Bloodlit mutation. I’ve found these events to be perfect for mid-game players looking to boost their profits.
6. Meteor Shower
Mutation: Celestial (120x sale value!)
Frequency: Only during Night events
Meteor Showers are where the big money is at. When meteors hit your crops, they get the Celestial mutation with a 120x multiplier! I’ve seen single crops worth millions thanks to this event.
Pro Tip: Use the Star Caller tool during Meteor Showers. I’ve found it attracts more meteors to your garden, increasing your chances of getting those precious Celestial mutations.
7. Heatwave
Mutation: Sundried (85x sale value)
Frequency: Summer event, now permanent
Heatwaves make the sun shine extra bright, with sunbeams hitting random plants. The Sundried mutation is one of the most valuable regular mutations in the game.
8. Windy
Mutation: Windstruck (2x sale value)
Frequency: Common
Windy events create a hazy screen with gusts blowing through. It’s not the most valuable mutation, but it happens frequently enough to be useful for mutation stacking.
9. Tropical Rain
Mutation: Drenched (5x sale value)
Growth Boost: 50% faster
Frequency: Common
Tropical Rain is like regular rain’s more profitable cousin. The Drenched mutation gives a 5x multiplier, and the growth boost is always welcome.
10. Drought
Mutation: Wilt
Frequency: Uncommon
Droughts turn everything pale yellow. The Wilt mutation isn’t the most valuable, but it’s unique and worth collecting for completionists like me.
11. Aurora
Mutation: Aurora
Growth Boost: 50% faster
Frequency: Rare
Aurora events are absolutely beautiful! The sky turns into a stunning Aurora Borealis display, and your garden gets a majestic purple tint. The Aurora mutation is quite valuable, making this event worth waiting for.
12. Sandstorm
Mutation: Sandy
Frequency: Uncommon
Sandstorms turn everything dusty yellow, and you’ll see sand particles everywhere. I always blink my eyes during these events because it feels so realistic! The Sandy mutation is decent for mid-game players.
13. Gale
Mutation: Windstruck (higher chance than regular Windy)
Frequency: Uncommon
Gale events are like Windy events on steroids. The gusts are so strong that your character moves if you stay idle! I find this hilarious and useful at the same time.
Limited-Time Weather Events: Don’t Miss These!
These events are tied to specific updates or occasions. I’ve learned to keep an eye on the game’s update schedule because these events often offer exclusive mutations.
14. Bee Swarm
Mutation: Pollinated (3x sale value)
Frequency: Every hour during Bizzy Bees update
Bee Swarms are adorable! Bees fly from the hive to your garden and pollinate your plants. Don’t worry – they won’t hurt you. I’ve found that placing Bee egg pets dramatically increases your chances of getting Pollinated mutations.
15. Working Bee Swarm
Mutation: Pollinated (3x sale value)
Effect: 10x crafting speed boost
Frequency: During Working Bees update
This is like the regular Bee Swarm, but the bees wear construction hats! How cute is that? The crafting speed boost is incredible if you’re into the crafting system.
16. Zen Aura
Mutation: Tranquil
Frequency: Every hour during Zen Event
Zen Aura events send blue orbs toward your garden, applying the Tranquil mutation. I find these events very relaxing – perfect for when I need a break from the more chaotic weather events.
17. Corrupted Aura
Mutation: Corrupt
Frequency: Every hour during Corrupted update
Corrupted Aura is the evil twin of Zen Aura. The sky turns red, and you get Corrupt mutations instead. I love the contrast between these two events!
18. Kitchen Storm
Mutation: Aromatic
Special Effects: 2x cooking speed, higher mutation carry-over chance
Frequency: Triggered by completing cooking quests
Kitchen Storm events are chaotic but profitable! Utensils fly everywhere, and your cooking speed doubles. I’ve found this event perfect for players who enjoy the cooking system.
Admin Weather Events: The Rare Treasures
These events can only be triggered by the game developers, usually before updates. I’ve stayed up late many nights waiting for these events, and let me tell you – they’re worth it!
19. Disco
Mutation: Disco (125x sale value!)
Special Effect: Forces players to dance
Duration: 1-2 minutes
Frequency: Admin-triggered only
Disco events are absolutely wild! The “Raining Tacos” soundtrack plays, and everyone starts dancing. The Disco mutation gives a 125x multiplier, making it one of the most valuable mutations in the game.
Personal Story: I once stayed up until 3 AM waiting for a Disco event. When it finally happened, I made enough Sheckles to buy every pet in the shop. Totally worth the lost sleep!
20. Jandel Storm
Special Effects: Lightning strikes (4 per second), Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” plays
Frequency: Admin-triggered only
Jandel Storm events feature a massive Jandel avatar (monkey with red top hat) appearing randomly. It doesn’t provide major mutations, but it’s hilarious and worth experiencing at least once.
21. Sheckle Rain
Special Effect: Sheckles fall from the sky (up to 30 per player)
Frequency: Admin-triggered only
Who doesn’t love free money? During Sheckle Rain, golden Sheckles fall from the sky. I’ve collected thousands of Sheckles during these events. No mutations, but who cares when you’re getting free currency?
22. Chocolate Rain
Mutation: Chocolate
Frequency: Admin-triggered only
Chocolate Rain replaces normal rain with chocolate drops. It’s as delicious as it sounds! The Chocolate mutation isn’t the most valuable, but it’s definitely the tastiest.

My Personal Strategies for Maximizing Weather Events
After hundreds of hours playing Grow a Garden, I’ve developed some strategies that have helped me maximize my profits during weather events. Let me share my best tips with you!
1. The Mutation Stacking Strategy
This is my go-to strategy for maximum profits. Some mutations can stack on the same crop, creating incredible value multipliers. Here’s what I do:
- Step 1: Start with a Rain event to get Wet mutations
- Step 2: Wait for a Frost event to combine Wet + Chilled = Frozen
- Step 3: If possible, get a Thunderstorm for Shocked mutation
- Step 4: End with a Meteor Shower for Celestial mutation
I once created a crop with Wet, Frozen, Shocked, AND Celestial mutations. The value was astronomical – over 10,000x the base value!
2. The Tool Enhancement Strategy
Certain tools can enhance your chances of getting specific mutations during weather events. Here are my must-have tools:
- Night Staff: Essential for Night and Blood Moon events
- Star Caller: Non-negotiable for Meteor Showers
- Lightning Rod: Increases Shocked mutation chances during Thunderstorms
- Tanning Mirror: Redirects sunbeams during Heatwaves
I always keep these tools in my inventory and upgrade them whenever possible. The investment pays off quickly!
3. The Timing Strategy
Weather events follow patterns, and I’ve learned to predict them:
- Regular Events: Rain, Frost, and Thunderstorms can happen anytime
- Night Events: Occur every 4 hours
- Admin Events: Usually happen 2-3 hours before major updates (UK time)
I set alarms on my phone for Night events and update times. It might seem excessive, but trust me – it works!
4. The Pet Synergy Strategy
Different pets can enhance your weather event results:
- Bee Egg Pets: Increase Pollinated mutation chances during Bee Swarms
- Weather Pets: Some pets specifically boost weather-related mutations
- Mutation Pets: General mutation chance increase
I’ve collected all the weather-related pets, and they’ve significantly increased my mutation success rate.
Advanced Weather Event Combinations
Ready to take your weather event game to the next level? These advanced combinations have helped me achieve some of the highest crop values in the game.
The Ultimate Money-Making Combination
This is my secret combination for maximum profits:
- Start with Tropical Rain (Drenched mutation + growth boost)
- Follow with Frost (Drenched + Chilled = special combination)
- Add Thunderstorm (Shocked mutation + possible Wet)
- Time with Night (Moonlit mutation)
- Hope for Meteor Shower (Celestial mutation)
I’ve achieved crops with 5+ mutations using this sequence. The values are insane!
The Speed Farming Combination
If you’re focused on quick harvests rather than maximum value:
- Rain (50% growth boost)
- Tropical Rain (another 50% growth boost)
- Aurora (50% growth boost)
- Any other growth-boosting event
This combination gives you 150%+ growth speed, perfect for quick farming sessions.
The Collection Strategy
For those of us who love collecting every mutation:
- Document each weather event you encounter
- Focus on one mutation type per session
- Use specific tools for target mutations
- Trade with other players for missing mutations
I’ve completed 90% of the mutation collection using this strategy!
Weather Event FAQ
I get asked a lot of questions about weather events in Grow a Garden. Here are the most common ones, based on my experience:
How often do weather events occur?
Regular weather events like Rain, Frost, and Thunderstorms can happen randomly at any time. From my experience, Rain occurs most frequently, while Thunderstorms are quite rare. Night events happen every 4 hours like clockwork, which I find very reliable for planning.
Can I trigger weather events myself?
Unfortunately, no. Weather events are server-wide and controlled by the game. However, you can increase your chances of getting mutations during events by using the right tools and pets, which I’ve found to be just as effective!
What’s the rarest weather event?
From my hundreds of hours of gameplay, I’d say the Disco event is the rarest. It only happens when admins trigger it, usually before major updates. I’ve only seen it 3 times in my entire playtime!
Do weather events affect all players equally?
Yes! Weather events are server-wide, meaning everyone in the same server experiences the same weather at the same time. This is why I often coordinate with friends during major events like Meteor Showers.
Can mutations from different weather events stack?
Absolutely! This is one of the best features of the game. I’ve stacked up to 5 mutations on a single crop, creating incredible value multipliers. The key is timing and using the right tools.
What’s the best weather event for beginners?
I always recommend Rain events for beginners. They happen frequently, provide a decent 2x multiplier, and boost growth speed. Plus, the Wet mutation is essential for creating the more valuable Frozen mutation later.
How do I know when a weather event is happening?
You’ll see visual effects (sky changes, particles, etc.) and there’s usually a weather icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen. I always keep an eye on this area, especially during potential event times.
Are weather events worth staying up for?
For major events like Meteor Showers or admin events like Disco, absolutely! I’ve made millions from a single well-timed event. Just make sure to set alarms if you’re planning to wake up for specific events.
Final Thoughts
Weather events are what make Grow a Garden truly special. They add an element of excitement and unpredictability that keeps me coming back day after day. I hope this guide helps you make the most of these events and achieve the garden of your dreams!
Remember, the key to success is patience, preparation, and a little bit of luck. Keep those tools upgraded, your pets ready, and your eyes on the sky. You never know when the next Meteor Shower or Disco event might strike!
Happy gardening, everyone! I’ll see you in the game – hopefully during the next big weather event!
P.S. If you found this guide helpful, make sure to bookmark it for future reference. I update it regularly with new weather events and strategies as they’re added to the game!
