Grow a Garden 2 Weather
TL;DR
Grow a Garden 2 has 8 weather states, and most of them trigger a specific mutation: Lightning → Electric, Snowfall → Frozen, Starfall → Starstruck, Midas → Gold, Rainbow Seed → Rainbow, Blood Moon → Bloodlit. Rain is the exception — it just doubles growth speed with no mutation, and Sunny is the default. All servers share the same weather at the same time.

Weather in Grow a Garden 2 is global — every active server gets the same event at the same moment. Each weather state either boosts growth, spawns special seeds, or applies a mutation to random crops while it is running. The table below maps all 8 states to the mutation they trigger and how long they last.
| Weather | Duration | Triggers mutation | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunny | Variable (default state between events) | none | Default clear conditions. Standard crop growth rate, no mutations, no special spawns. |
| Rain | 5 minutes | none | 2x growth speed to all plants. No mutation applied (in GAG2, Rain is a pure growth booster; it does NOT apply Wet). |
| Lightning | 2 minutes 30 seconds | Electric | Lightning strikes apply the Electric (Shocked) mutation to random crops. |
| Snowfall | 2 minutes 30 seconds | Frozen | Random crops have a chance to gain the Frozen mutation. |
| Starfall | 2 minutes | Starstruck | Falling stars apply the Starstruck mutation to random crops. Sky fills with shooting stars and a moon. |
| Midas | 2 minutes | Gold | Spawns Gold Seeds randomly in the center of the map (~20% chance every ~20s, scales with server player count). Collected seeds grow into Gold-mutation plants. |
| Rainbow Seed | 2 minutes | Rainbow | Whole lobby turns rainbow; random Rainbow-mutated seeds spawn (~5%, scales with server player count). Collected seeds can be any plant rarity and grow with the Rainbow mutation. |
| Blood Moon | 2 minutes | Bloodlit | Beams land in gardens or random parts of the map, applying the Bloodlit mutation. |
What changed from Grow a Garden 1
If you came from the original game, a few weather rules are different in GAG2:
- Rain is a pure growth booster. It doubles growth speed and applies no mutation — there is no "Wet" mutation in GAG2.
- Frozen is one stage. Snowfall freezes crops directly; there is no Wet → Chilled chain like in GAG1.
- GAG1 mutation families are not confirmed. Wet, Chilled, Pollinated, Moonlit, and Celestial have not been confirmed to exist in GAG2.
