The displayed normal-weather rows total 99.8% because the source rounds its individual percentages. Normal-weather percentages are source-reported rounded event chances and total 99.8%. Moon percentages are outcomes during the Night phase and total 100%. An event's chance is not the same as the chance that a particular crop receives its mutation.
Day and Night timer
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.

| Moon | Duration | Night outcome | Mutation / seed | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Moon | 2 minutes | 77% | No listed mutation | The standard Night outcome with no special moon mutation or special seed spawn. |
| Gold Moon | 2 minutes | 13% | Gold · 10x / View Gold Seed | Can spawn Gold Seeds, grant a Midas status effect and turn struck plants Gold. |

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?
Reported normal event durations range from 2 minutes for Starfall, Aurora and Eclipse to 5 minutes for Rain, Lightning, Rainbow and Sunburst. Snowfall is listed at 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Which weather gives the highest mutation multiplier?
Eclipse links to Eclipsed, currently the highest released multiplier in our checked list at 80x. A newer Eclipse Bloom revision also says harvesting Eclipse Bloom starts Eclipse weather for 2 minutes. The mutation is still not guaranteed on every crop.
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.
