Tornado events in Grow a Garden are some of the most sought-after moments in the game, thanks to their ability to unlock the Twisted Mutation—a rare 6x sell multiplier that applies to all crops. But unlike other in-game systems, tornado events can’t be triggered manually.
So what can players actually do to find a tornado and benefit from it? This guide covers what tornado events are, how they work, and the best strategies to increase your chances of encountering one.
Can You Trigger a Tornado in Grow a Garden?
No, you cannot directly trigger a tornado event in Grow a Garden. Tornado weather is part of the game’s randomized global weather system and is entirely server-controlled.
There is no potion, gear, admin command, or player action that can start a tornado.
That said, players can use strategic methods to improve their odds of experiencing one—and that’s where the real power lies.
What Is a Tornado Event?
Tornado events are rare weather conditions where:
A visible tornado moves across the map
Any crops touched by the tornado become Twisted Mutated Plants
Twisted Mutation gives a 6x sell value multiplier, making it one of the best passive profit boosts in the game
Affected plants gain a swirling visual effect, easy to spot when the event is active
The entire event lasts only a few minutes, so being present and prepared is essential.
How to Increase Your Chances of Encountering a Tornado
1. Server Hop Strategically
Because tornado weather occurs randomly on a per-server basis, your best option is to hop between active public servers.
How to do it:
Enter a server, wait up to 1 minute to check current weather
If no tornado signs, leave and switch to another server
Repeat until you find one with tornado weather active
Tip: Use browser extensions or Roblox Plus to view server lists sorted by size and activity.
2. Watch for Visual Clues
Tornado weather is easy to recognize. Look for:
A spiraling cyclone moving through the sky
Strong winds and flying debris
Audio cues like roaring wind
As soon as you spot it, check your garden and prepare to harvest any mutated crops.
3. Follow Official Game Channels
Developers sometimes hint at increased tornado activity or confirm when weather systems are active across servers.
Stay updated through:
The official Grow a Garden Discord server
Developer accounts on Twitter/X (e.g., @GoHardGames, @Jandel)
Announcements may include boosted weather rates or event windows.
4. Play During Peak Activity Hours
Tornado events are more likely to be noticed (and possibly seeded more frequently) during:
Weekends
Community events
Update windows or patch deployments
During these periods, more servers are active, increasing the odds that one will host a tornado.
5. Keep Your Garden Ready
Because Twisted Mutation only affects crops that already exist when the tornado hits, you need to keep your garden planted at all times.
Best practices:
Fill every plot with crops before AFK or hopping
Prioritize high-value crops like Dragon Fruit, Moon Blossom, Mango, or Cactus
Use Sprinklers and Fertilizer to speed up growth
Equip any profit-boosting pets for extra value when harvesting
Once the tornado hits, crops touched by the storm mutate instantly, and rewards depend on what you already had growing.
Why the Tornado Event Is Worth the Wait
Twisted Mutation gives a 6x profit boost, which is higher than most potions
It works on all plant types simultaneously, making it one of the most efficient mass-value upgrades
Twisted crops are highly tradeable and considered rare
No potion or item use required—making it a free passive reward
Even though you can’t control it, preparing for tornado events is one of the smartest strategies in long-term progression and late-game farming.
Final Thoughts
While you can’t trigger a tornado event yourself, you can absolutely hunt for one using smart server hopping, active community monitoring, and a constantly prepared garden.
With just one successful tornado pass, you could walk away with millions in profit and exclusive mutated crops that command value in both trade and prestige.
So plant wisely, stay alert, and let the wind do the rest.
