Ultimate guide for unlocking all mutations & seeds

Unlock all crop mutations and their seeds.

Introduction

This guide contains all mutations for crops.
Some crops require blend to mutate if so it is mentioned in the Blend column.
The blend should be applied at least once in the lifetime of the plant, if the crop regrows, you don't need to reapply the blend. If you apply the blend more than once you don't get any extra benefit.
There is no distinction between Blend and Super blend in terms of mutation. Super blend just adds additional quality points, but does not increase mutation chance plants. The additional quality points of the super-blend are of no use because crops will max out at poor quality or average quality and can't be improved further due to them being grown out of their primary season.

Because most mutations happen out of the prime season of the plant, the quality of the plant will deteriorate every day. You need to fertilize (with regular fertilizer) the plant at minimum every other day to maintain the plant quality in good standing, otherwise you risk the plant withering and not mutating.

I also recommend to fertilize the plant a day before it becomes harvest-able. Plants need to be close to the maximum quality for that season to mutate.

I have noted the mutations that you should prioritize first with an exclamation mark. The goal is to manage to unlock the seeds for that mutation because you will need those seeds for further mutations. To unlock a mutation's seeds you need to ship some amount of crop or great crop as listed in the table.

The days column shows the number of days the crop requires to become harvestable. It concerns the crop you plant before it mutates. If the crop can be reharvested it will be noted with a plus and the number of days for the reharvest (if the crop mutates the number of days for reharvest may differ)

The Probability column shows the percentage a crop will mutate given that it meets the quality criteria, blend criteria, and area criteria.

Canonball and Mellow Yellow need to be planted in a checkboard pattern to mutate to Keggling / Snowman

³ Boost health by companioning with Pumpkin or Giant Pumpkin or Kegling
⁴ Boost health by companioning with Potato or Giant Potato or Killer Tomato
⁵ Boost health by planting in a checkboard pattern
⁶ Plant in a checkerboard pattern is critical. You can fill the empty spots with great potato, or any other plant not in the melon and pumpkin family

Note that Kegling is an ingredient for perfect blend and ultimate blend, it has a low mutation chance and you need to sell 30 to unlock it's seeds. This is why i recommend planting 135 cannonballs in a checkerboard pattern. You can plant anything you want in the empty checkerboard fields as long as it is not melon or pumpkin, not leaving empty spaces will make watering easier. If you get any less than 10 mutations reload the day.

Fruit Trees

For fruit trees to grow and bear fruit, the tree should not touch another tree in the 8 cells around it.

One trick to ensure that plants will not grow around a tree is to plant grass around the tree and let the grass wither. That way you won't need to concern yourself with checking around the tree if any other tree sprouted.

Tree Evolution:

The only chance for a tree to evolve happens on the day the tree bears fruit for the first time in that season. On that morning, there is a 3% chance that the tree evolves to a great tree.
You can keep loading the previous day at just before you went to bed until you get lucky and one of the trees evolve.

• Trees can evolve only on the first day that they bear fruit in a new season.
  
• There is only a 3% chance that a tree evolves
  
• If you don't get great fruit, load the game on the previous night, go to bed, and check your trees. keep doing that until at least one of the trees evolves.

Note: The fact that evolution can only happen at the first day a tree becomes harvestable in a season is probably a bug

Tactic

Plant your trees with 1 day difference from one another. That way they become harvestable on different days, and you can do the loading the previous night trick one tree at a time.

If you already have trees that bear fruit on the same day, you can plant a softwood tree between the fruit trees to delay their growth so that they bear fruit on different days and do the load trick one tree at a time. Note that softwood trees need 6 days to be able to be cut

Extra: Companion Crops

Each crop belongs to one of 15 categories, and each crop has a particular category of plants as companion. Planting a companion crop above, below, left or right of the crop will have some minor effect on the crop's maximum quality (for out of season crops) and will also have some minor effect on the crop's response to the weather.

I would not recommend that anyone bother with analyzing companion crops because their effect is negligible and weather dependent.

Extra: Crop Health

A crop can have quality between 1 and 15. While you can't see the exact value, walking over the crop will show you an indication of the crop's quality.

• Blue: quality is between 1 and 5
  
• White: quality is between 6 and 10
  
• Gold: quality is between 11 and 15

Note that the quality is also capped by the season. So planting something in an off season will never get you gold quality.
Crops that drop below 1 in quality wither.

Daily health

Every day the game updates the quality of each crop according to several factors which are listed here for educational purposes.

Randomness:

• There is a 2.3% chance a crop will increase quality by 1
  
• There is a 2.3% chance a crop will decrease quality by 1

Watering Effect:

• Not watering decreases quality between 1 and 3 points

Season Effect:

• Prime season: Increases quality by 1 point
  
• Secondary seasons
  
• Off seasons: Reduces quality by 1 point

Weather Effect:

• Cloudy
  
• Rain: Increases quality by 1
  
• Snow
  
• Storm: Reduces quality between 1 and 5 points
  
• Snow storm: Reduces quality between 1 and 5 points
  
• Mist: Reduces quality between 0 and 2 points
  
• Sunshine: Reduces quality between 0 and 2 points

Crop weather bonus:

Some crops increase their quality by 1 point if the day has their favorite weather

• Storm: Killer Tomato, Yellow Corn, Hot Pepper, Habanero, Giant Potato, White Carrot, Goldberry
  
• Snow Storm: Strawberry, Crimson, Killer Tomato, Rye, Devil Pepper, Black Potato, Cream Pumpkin, Blueberry, Cranberry, Gooseberry, Blackcurrant, Spinach, Savoy Spinach, Pink Spinach
  
• Mist: Teardrop, Watermelon, Mellow Yellow, Cannonball, Kegling, Dragon Pepper, Black Potato, Mandrake, Giant Pumpkin, Blueberry, Cranberry, Gooseberry, Blackcurrant, Goldberry, Spinach, Baby Spinach
  
• Sun: Sunset Corn, Watermelon, Mellow Yellow, Cannonball, Kegling, Habanero, Giant Potato

Companion Crop weather bonus:

Companion crops may also affect the health of the main crop either positively or negatively depending on the weather of the day. For example Sunset Corn with Squash as companion crop, on sunny days will increase the health of Sunset Corn by 2 points.
