How to get Golden Crops in Grow a Garden

As you nurture crops in Grow a Garden, you will encounter rare versions of the harvest with higher value and better appearance. This alteration in the harvest is known as a Mutation, and crops turning Golden is an example. When a crop turns Golden, you will receive a higher price from the merchant when selling it. Naturally, players vie to trigger this effect in their crops for a better yield.

Here’s how you can get Golden Crops in Grow a Garden.

Getting Golden Crops in Grow a Garden

Sprinklers can trigger Mutations (Image via Roblox)

Golden Crops can occur naturally with a one in 100 chance of appearing while planting crops or during harvest. When it triggers, the harvest's value becomes 20 times the regular amount. While this increase is not exceedingly significant with crops like Carrots, it can be a game changer for plants like Watermelons or Pineapples.

It’s currently impossible to manually trigger the Golden Mutation for your Crops. However, you can influence the chances of activating it with specific types of gear. You can purchase different Sprinklers from the Gear Shop to increase the odds of triggering a Mutation.

These pieces of equipment apply a blanket buff to the rate of Mutations for your Crops instead of specifically targeting Golden Mutation. As such, there is always an element of irregularity in this phenomenon.

All crop Mutations

As of this writing, the game has six distinct Mutations that have various effects on the appearance and value of your crops. These include Golden, Rainbow, Wet, Shocked, Big, and Choc.

Wet is the easiest of all Mutations, which triggers during the Rain Weather Event. This doubles the value of your produce and causes water to drip from the harvest.

The Big Mutation causes your produce to increase in size, directly impacting its price. It doesn’t affect the selling value in any other way.

Next is the Rainbow Mutation, which gives the harvest a rainbow color. This applies a 50x multiplier to the base value of the produce and has a 0.1% chance of triggering spontaneously.

The rarest of all Mutations is the Shocked Mutation, which exclusively occurs during a Thunderstorm. If your crops get hit by lightning during a Thunderstorm, they will produce a Shocked harvest, which has a 50x multiplier when sold.

Lastly, the Choc Mutation occurs when you place a piece of chocolate next to your crops. This is only available during the Easter Event 2025, and you can no longer access it once the event is concluded.
