🌌 Aurora Mutation in Grow a Garden — ×90 Multiplier
Aurora is a weather-triggered mutation with multiplier ×90. Farm it during the listed weather (see the weather events hub), or use any pet/spray named in the trigger. It is not a growth mutation, so it can sit under Gold or Rainbow. Trigger: During Aurora Borealis or Crystal Beam. Crystal Beam is shared with Celestial's trigger list — Aurora is the ×90 weather roll, Celestial is ×120. On Grow a Garden 2: GAG2 sources disagree on Aurora's multiplier, so we do not publish a GAG2 number. GAG1 Aurora is ×90.
Ranked #17 of 108 tracked mutation pages by multiplier.
📐 How to Get the Aurora Mutation
Trigger (from our mutation data): During Aurora Borealis or Crystal Beam.
Watch the in-game forecast and the weather events list. Shops restock on a separate clock — use the stock tracker for Seed/Gear timers, not for weather. If a pet is named above, that pet can apply this mutation without the weather.
Aurora is a high multiplier (×90). Put it on a high base-value crop (this site uses Sunflower, 50,138₡ at 8.55 kg, as the reference) and add weight² before chasing extra small mutations.
💰 Worked Examples: Aurora on a Sunflower
Numbers use the site formula Base × (Weight/BaseWeight)² × Growth × (1 + Σmutations − count) and Sunflower's listed base. Plug a live crop into the Grow a Garden calculator for other weights.
🔗 Stacking & Best Combos
Once Aurora is on a fruit it follows the additive rule with other non-growth mutations: 1 + Σ(multipliers) − count. Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) then multiplies that total. Cleaning Spray (Gear Shop, listed on stock) can strip mutations if you need to rebuild a fusion.
