Grow a Garden 2 Mutations: Multiplier Source Matrix
Public GAG2 guides do not agree on mutation multipliers. Electric is reported from 25× to 80×; Frozen spans 3× to 20×. Even two pages from the same publisher, dated the same day, contradict each other about stacking. This page shows those conflicts instead of silently choosing a convenient number.

Same publisher conflict
Electric: 25× vs 80×
All Things How published a 25× one-mutation list and an 80× variant-plus-weather guide on June 20. They are separate claims, not two independent votes.
Narrowest spread
Gold: 10×–15×
Four page snapshots report 10×. The same-publisher stacking article reports 15×, so even the closest row is not unanimous.

Calculate the disagreement, not a fake exact answer
Enter the unmutated value shown in your game, choose a mutation, and compare the lowest and highest multiplier published in the reviewed pages. This multiplication is a scenario check; it does not reproduce weight, decay, single-harvest, friendship, or other hidden mechanics.

GAG2 mutation multiplier comparison
Every cell is a multiplier visibly published on the named page. A dash means the page showed TBA or did not expose a readable value; it does not mean zero. “Range” is descriptive only. It is not a confidence interval, an average, or an official value.

Row-by-row interpretation
What each multiplier range actually tells us
A wide range can come from a patch change, a different crop category, a mislabeled effect, or simple secondary-source error. The matrix alone cannot distinguish those explanations. These notes identify the exact follow-up question each row creates.
Gold: four 10× reports, one 15× report
Ten is the most repeated published number in this sample, but repetition is not proof: several community pages can inherit one upstream table. The 15× claim appears in the page that also uses a different stacking model, so a test should record whether the displayed Gold label is a crop variant, a seed state, or an event-applied effect.
Rainbow: 10×, 30×, and 40×
Three pages publish 30×, while two All Things How pages show opposite outliers. The list page reports 10× and the stacking page reports 40×. Because those outliers share a publisher and date, they demonstrate editorial inconsistency more clearly than they demonstrate a real game change.
Electric: 25×, 70×, and 80×
Three pages report 25×. GAMES.GG reports 70×, and the same-publisher stacking page reports 80×. A future reproduction must capture the exact on-screen mutation name: some pages use Lightning or Shocked for the event while the fruit label is described as Electric. Those names should not be assumed interchangeable without evidence.
Frozen: every recent value differs
The reviewed reports move from 3× and 5× to 14× and 20×. That pattern could indicate patch drift, but publication order does not prove the game changed. The safest check is a same-crop before-and-after sell-screen observation during Snowfall, with crop type and harvest behavior recorded.
Starstruck: two TBA blanks, then 25× or 50×
Blank cells preserve the early pages' uncertainty. They are important evidence that a number was not consistently established when those guides were written. Two later pages agree on 50×, but the older 25× report remains a visible alternative until a first-party value or reproducible test resolves it.
Bloodlit: 60×, 70×, or 80×
Each numeric source chooses a different value, so there is no source majority to summarize. The spread is smaller than Electric in proportional terms, but a 20× difference still materially changes a high-value harvest estimate. Treat any single-number calculator preset as a source choice, not a verified fact.
Aurora: same 1.5× report twice, then 40×
Aurora has the largest proportional disagreement in the overlap set. All Things How and GAG2 Values publish 1.5×, while Grow a Garden Calculator publishes 40×. A name collision between weather, mutation, or a later rework is one possible explanation, but that is only a hypothesis. Do not use 40× or 1.5× as a guaranteed current value without checking the exact patch and in-game label.
Critical conflict
The sources also disagree about whether mutations stack
One mutation only
The All Things How list, GAG2 Values page, and Grow a Garden Calculator page say one mutation occupies a crop and multipliers do not stack.
Variant plus weather
A second All Things How page says Gold or Rainbow can combine with a weather mutation through a variant-times-additive formula. That directly conflicts with its companion page.
Because the publisher did not test these mechanics in game, the calculator above applies only one selected reported multiplier. It does not claim that stacking works or that any listed formula is authoritative. If your in-game crop shows more than one label, record the labels, base value, final value, patch date, and crop type before drawing a conclusion.
Reproduction protocol
How to test a GAG2 mutation claim responsibly
A useful test needs more than a screenshot of one large number. Record enough context to separate the mutation from weight, crop-specific reductions, friendship, decay, gear, pets, and other bonuses.
1. Identify the game build
Record the calendar date, server region if visible, official place ID 97598239454123, and any version or update label shown in game. Do not test in the original Grow a Garden experience.
2. Establish a control
Use the same crop type and comparable weight without a mutation. Capture its displayed weight, labels, and sell value before adding any event or mutation effect.
3. Change one factor
Apply or observe only the target mutation when possible. Remove pets, gear, friendship boosts, and other effects, or record each one explicitly when removal is impossible.
4. Capture the mutated state
Save the exact mutation label, crop name, weight, harvest type, and sell-screen value. A weather event name alone does not prove the resulting fruit mutation name.
5. Repeat the observation
Run multiple crops of the same type. One observation can expose a contradiction, but repeated matching results are needed before publishing a stable multiplier claim.
6. Report the raw evidence
Share inputs and outputs rather than only the calculated multiplier. If results differ, keep both records and investigate the hidden variable instead of averaging them away.

- Which multiplier each reviewed page actually published.
- Where the low and high ends of a reported range come from.
- Whether a page says one mutation only, variant plus weather, or does not state the rule clearly.
- Which values were missing or TBA instead of silently treated as zero.
What it cannot answer
- The official current multiplier, because no first-party table was found and no in-game test was performed.
- Whether different reports describe different patches, crop categories, or hidden reductions.
- The complete current mutation roster; this release is limited to seven overlapping early-guide names.
- Live weather state, mutation odds, or the exact final sell formula for every crop.
