πŸŒ‘ Eclipse Mutation Guide Grow a Garden

What it is, how it works, and the best strategies to profit during eclipse windows

Solar Eclipse

Eclipse Window

The Eclipse Mutation πŸŒ‘ is a rare global event in Grow a Garden that temporarily boosts crop value and enables special mutation outcomes. You can’t trigger it manually, so the key is to prepare in advance and execute a tight harvest plan the moment it starts.

🌟 What Happens During an Eclipse?

  • Huge Sell Multiplier: Crops sold during the event get a dramatic price boost.
  • Mutation Chance: Certain crops can roll special mutation variants with higher value.
  • Timed Window: The event lasts a short period; preparation and speed matter.

🧭 How to Prepare (Before the Eclipse)

  • Sync Your Plots: Plant full batches so everything matures together near expected windows.
  • Stock Fertilizer: Keep a stash to speed any last-minute growth pushes.
  • Queue High-Value Seeds: Prioritize your most profitable crops for mutation attempts.
  • Pet Loadout: Equip pets that increase sell value, drop multipliers, or growth speed.
  • Inventory Space: Clear storage to avoid overflow during rapid harvests.

πŸš€ What to Do During the Eclipse

  • Harvest Immediately: Collect all ready crops at once to maximize boosted sells.
  • Sell in Batches: Dump harvests quickly while the multiplier is active.
  • Replant Fast: Use short or mid timers so you can squeeze an extra cycle if time allows.
  • Stack Boosts: Pop fertilizers and timed boosters right at the start.

πŸ€ Extra Optimization

  • Server Awareness: If allowed, switch to active-boost servers to catch a live window.
  • Alarm & Tracking: Use reminders to check commonly active times.
  • Team Up: Coordinate with friends to share timing intel and trade for high-tier seeds.
