Thunderstorm spawn times in Grow a Garden

In Grow a Garden, Thunderstorms have a small chance of spawning during the Rain, which itself is a fairly uncommon occurrence. The primary difference between Rain and Thunderstorms is the presence of lightning in the latter, which strikes every four to five seconds. Furthermore, a Thunderstorm lasts for a short time, while Rain is active, making it an even rarer occurrence.

You can expect a Thunderstorm to trigger whenever the Seed Shop restocks. The Shop restocks every five minutes, so you can keep a lookout for each time it refreshes to see if the Weather Event triggers or not.

Whenever a Thunderstorm triggers, bolts of lightning will strike at random parts of the map. When they hit a farm, the affected crops receive the Shocked Mutation, which gives them a 50x value multiplier.

The Shocked Mutation is on par with Rainbow in terms of value, making them equally as desirable.

Leveraging a Thunderstorm

The lightning strikes that accompany a Thunderstorm are random, which makes it completely reliant on luck whether your crops receive the Shocked Mutation or not. Considering the rarity of this Weather Event, it’s important to try and maximize the chances of the Mutation being applied to your produce.

One way to do so is to use the Lightning Rod found in the Gear Shop. This tool redirects lightning to your farmland thrice before being destroyed, effectively guaranteeing the Shocked Mutation during the Weather Event.

Since the Lightning Rod is a rare spawn in the Gear Shop, it’s vital to keep checking the store and purchase it the moment it appears.
