Best crops to prepare
For value-focused weather like Lightning, players should prepare higher-value crops rather than spending the event on only starter crops. If the event is a seed-spawn event, move around the map first and collect the spawned seeds before returning to normal farming.
- Use high-rarity or high-value crops for mutation weather.
- Use common crops during Rain if you only need faster growth.
- Keep more crops planted before random weather starts to increase mutation opportunities.
- Do not use GAG1 stacking examples as GAG2 strategy.
Lightning preparation checklist
Before Lightning appears, keep your garden planted instead of leaving empty soil. More planted crops give you more chances to benefit when a weather effect chooses random crops, speeds growth, or spawns collectable seeds. If Lightning is connected to a mutation, prioritize crops with better base value rather than harvesting everything immediately.
During the event, check the visual cue, collect any spawned seeds, and avoid using old GAG1 stacking advice as final GAG2 strategy. After the event, compare mutated and non-mutated crops from the same crop type. That simple comparison helps you decide whether Lightning is worth waiting for next time.
