Grow a Garden 2 Weather Guide
How Rain, Lightning, Rainbow, Snowfall and Starfall affect crop growth and mutation value.
Weather is a planning system
Weather is not just ambience. Rain speeds up growth, while Lightning, Rainbow, Snowfall and Starfall can create mutation value.
The best preparation is having valuable crops ready before the event starts.
Best events for money
Lightning is the most important money event because Electric has the strongest confirmed multiplier. Rainbow is also valuable when you have many ripe crops ready.
Snowfall is useful but lower impact. Starfall is rare and should be tracked, but its multiplier needs continued verification.
How to play events
Keep your strongest crops planted, use growth gear before event windows and avoid harvesting too early if a high-value weather event is likely.
After each patch, re-check values. Weather systems are exactly the kind of data that changes without old guides noticing.
