| 2 min 30 sec | Triggered event | Eclipsed | 80x | Light beams can apply the Eclipsed mutation to random crops.Triggered by harvesting Eclipse Bloom in Garden Valley; the Weather table lists 2 min 30 sec. The crop page says 2 minutes for the initial trigger and 2 min 30 sec when resetting an active event. It is not a randomly scheduled event and does not spawn in Fall Harvest. |
The displayed normal-weather rows total 99.99% because the source rounds its individual percentages. Garden Valley random-weather chances total 99.99% after rounding; Eclipse is a crop-triggered event with no random chance. The detailed Garden Valley moon table totals 100%; its overview rounds the figures differently. Fall Harvest uses a separate night distribution. An event chance is not a crop mutation chance.
Reported 10 minutes day cycle
The source's listed phases add up to 10 minutes. This does not establish a reliable real-world UTC anchor for predicting the next phase.
Default daytime weather with no special mutation effect.
A short visual transition from Day to Night.
A moon outcome is rolled and plant stealing becomes available during the Night phase.
Garden Valley night moons and special seed spawns

Fall crops pay Leaves. Compare their baselines on the crop value list before applying a mutation.
When is the next Grow a Garden 2 weather event?
The checked source says weather is synchronized across active servers, but it does not publish a verified next-event timestamp or deterministic event sequence. We therefore do not show a fabricated countdown. Select the event visible in-game to look up its timer and effect.
How long do weather events last?
Snowfall, Starfall and Aurora last 2 minutes 30 seconds in the checked table; Rain, Lightning, Rainbow and Sunburst last 5 minutes. Night moons last 2 minutes. Eclipse has conflicting initial/reset durations, explained in its event row.
Which weather gives the highest mutation multiplier?
Eclipse gives the largest weather-linked multiplier in our checked list: Eclipsed at 80x. Harvesting Eclipse Bloom triggers the event in Garden Valley. Glow has a higher overall multiplier but comes from Star Fruit, so it is not a weather forecast target.
Can weather mutations stack?
The checked Weather reference says a crop can receive only one weather mutation at a time. Compare the current multiplier before replacing a strong result, then use the fruit value calculator to estimate the sell value.
