Weather Overview

In Grow a Garden, weather plays a vital role in shaping gameplay. The game features a global weather system that affects all servers simultaneously, introducing dynamic conditions that influence how crops grow and interact with the environment. Each type of weather offers unique effects from boosting crop value to triggering rare mutations.

Weather Impacts

  • Global Synchronization

    Every active server experiences the same weather at the same time unless altered by admin commands or custom votes.

  • Enhanced Crop Growth

    Weather types like Rain or Thunderstorms accelerate crop growth and increase harvest values.

  • Special Crop Mutations

    Certain weather events can trigger rare mutations, boosting the rarity and worth of your crops.

  • Event-Locked Effects

    Limited-time events may bring exclusive weather-based mutations (e.g., Pollinated) not available otherwise.

  • Admin-Exclusive Weathers

    Unique types such as DJ Jhai can only be activated by game administrators.

Weather Types

Standard Weather

Occurs naturally and forms the core cycle of Grow a Garden’s environment. These weathers affect all players equally without admin control.

Event Weather

Appears during limited-time events and adds special effects, crop bonuses, or exclusive mutations tied to seasonal updates and community celebrations.

Admin Weather

Includes rare or experimental weather types that can only be triggered by administrators. Often used for testing, showcases, or special appearances (e.g., Shooting Stars, no longer in regular rotation).

Weather Trivia

Developer Notes

  • The Volcano Weather Alert is a direct reference to Natural Disaster Survival, using reused assets.
  • Jandel, the developer, had not seen the Jandel Katana event before it went live.
  • Administrators can manually trigger weather, typically for special events.

Weather Behavior

  • Night weather initially occurred every 20 minutes, later changed to hourly.
  • Admins manually switched the first two Night cycles to Blood Moon post-event.
  • Night and Blood Moon weather were temporarily reintroduced as an apology after the Cosmetics Update.
  • Most weather events last 3–5 minutes; some special events last for 10 minutes.
  • Unique weathers like Sheckle Rain and Sun God have no on-screen icons.

Spawn Frequency

  • Rain is the most common weather, appearing about every 20 minutes.
  • Thunderstorms are less frequent, occurring every 2–6 hours.
  • Meteor Showers are the rarest, seen only once every few nights.
  • Frost Weather was temporarily removed but later re-added.

Music & Developer Connections

  • The DJ booth character in the Monster Mash Event was developer Jhailatte.
  • Jandel stated that DJ Jhai is his cousin and a composer for the game.
  • The song “It’s Raining Tacos” was retired and replaced.
  • The Disco Event briefly featured the “Spinning Cat (Oiia Oiia Remix)” song.

Event Facts & Easter Eggs

  • Low-gravity in the Black Hole Event allows players to climb tall plants.
  • Stoplight Weather was inspired by Red Light, Green Light.
  • Sheckle Rain had the longest gap between reappearances.
