How Weather Works in Garden Horizons
Weather Duration
All weather events in Garden Horizons last 5 minutes. Weather changes are synced with Bill's Shop restocks, creating predictable cycles for planning your farming activities.
Mutation Chance
Weather mutations have a 1% chance to apply to crops. When multiple mutations are available, they split the probability based on their rarity.
Growth Speed Effects
Some weather conditions modify crop growth speed. Storm provides +50% growth speed, making it ideal for quickly cycling through harvests.
Stacking Multipliers
Weather mutations stack multiplicatively with ripening stages and color variants. A Starstruck (6.5×) crop with Lush (3×) and Gold (5×) reaches 97.5× multiplier.
Regular Weather Conditions
These weather conditions occur naturally during gameplay and form the foundation of Garden Horizons weather system.
