How To Train Your Dragon Codes (January 2026) Get Free Dragons
Ever dreamed of soaring through the skies on the back of a legendary Night Fury? In Roblox’s official How To…
If you’ve ever logged into Grow a Garden and wondered why everyone’s talking about “admin abuse,” you’re not alone. Despite how it sounds, admin abuse is actually the most exciting event in the game—and missing it means watching other players harvest legendary crops worth billions while you’re stuck with basic strawberries.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours mastering these events, and trust me when I say that understanding admin abuse timing is the difference between being a casual gardener and a Sheckles billionaire. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll reveal everything you need to know about Grow a Garden admin abuse times, what happens during these chaotic celebrations, and exactly how to maximize your rewards.
Admin abuse in Grow a Garden isn’t what you might think—it’s not something bad at all. It’s actually when Jandel (the game’s developer) and his team use their administrative powers to create special events that shower the community with incredible rewards and rare mutations you can’t get anywhere else in the game.
Think of it as a celebration where the developers “break the rules” in the best way possible. During admin abuse, ordinary crops transform into fortune-generating mutations, rare seeds flood the shops, and exclusive pets drop for participating players.
Unlike regular weather patterns that happen automatically, admin abuse is completely manual. Jandel personally joins the game servers and triggers unique weather phenomena, shop restocks, and exclusive rewards. During these events, you might suddenly see:
The community aspect makes these events irreplaceable. Jandel communicates directly with players through global chat, announcing upcoming events, sharing developer insights, and sometimes dropping exclusive codes that expire within minutes.
| Event Type | Day | Time (PT) | Duration | Host |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Update Admin Abuse | Saturday | 6:00 AM | 1-3 hours | Jandel/Jhailatte |
| Stormy Sundays | Sunday | Variable | All day | DevNamedDavid (BMWlux) |
| Special Collaborations | Varies | Varies | 1-2 hours | Guest hosts |
| Major Events | Saturday | 5:00 AM | 2-3 hours | Jandel |
Admin abuse typically starts 60 minutes before major Saturday updates. However, sometimes Jandel starts up to 90 minutes early, especially for major events. Here’s when you need to be online for the standard schedule:
| Region | Admin Abuse Start | Update Time |
|---|---|---|
| USA (West Coast/PT) | 6:00 AM | 7:00 AM |
| USA (East Coast/ET) | 9:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| Europe (CET) | 3:00 PM | 4:00 PM |
| UK (GMT) | 2:00 PM | 3:00 PM |
| India (IST) | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM |
| Japan (JST) | 11:00 PM | 12:00 AM |
| Australia (AEST) | 1:00 AM Sunday | 2:00 AM Sunday |
Pro Tip: Always join your server at least 90 minutes before the scheduled update time to ensure you don’t miss anything. I learned this the hard way when I logged in 45 minutes early and missed the free Duckfloat cosmetic during one event.
As of the Christmas Update, admin abuse times have been extended by 3 hours, meaning events can now last significantly longer than the original 1-hour window. This gives more players worldwide a chance to participate.
The most significant timing change occurred during the Admin Abuse War on August 23, 2026, when the event started one hour later than usual due to the unprecedented scale of competition between Grow a Garden and Steal a Brainrot.
During admin abuse, you’ll experience weather events that are completely unavailable during normal gameplay. These special events create mutations that can multiply your crop value by up to 150x! Here’s every admin weather event documented:
| Weather Event | Mutation | Multiplier | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disco | Disco | 125x | Makes everyone dance, screen flashes with colors |
| Alien Invasion | Alienlike | 100x | UFOs fly over map, alien atmosphere |
| Black Hole | Voidtouched | 135x | Massive black hole appears in sky |
| Jandel Storm | Shocked | 100x | Giant Jandel appears with lightning |
| Space Travel | Galactic | 120x | Speeds up growth 75%, space theme |
| Meteor Strike | Meteoric | 125x | Multiple meteors crash everywhere |
| Brains | Infected | 75x | Zombie invasion, brains fall from sky |
| Solar Flare | Sundried/Verdant | 85x/4x | Intense sun beam from sky |
| Volcano | Molten | 25x | Erupting volcano covers map |
| Chocolate Rain | Chocolate | 2x | Chocolate drops from sky |
These events require you to complete specific actions to earn rewards:
| Event | How to Participate | Rewards | Mutation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Obby | Complete obstacle course | Jump Pad cosmetic | None |
| Pool Party | Join the pool party | Duckfloat cosmetic | None |
| Sun God | Hold sunflower at Sun God | Dawnbound mutation (150x) | Dawnbound |
| Bean Aura | Hold Beanstalk at Bean God | Beanbound mutation (100x) | Beanbound |
| Stoplight | Play red light green light | Stoplight cosmetic | Lightcycle (50x) |
| Find The Pet | Find missing pet on map | Random egg reward | None |
There are currently 9 cosmetics that were obtainable exclusively from admin abuse events:
This was the largest admin abuse event in Grow a Garden history. The event lasted approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and featured:
The event featured Jandel behind the Seed Shop and Sammy with a “thief” sign above his head behind the Gear Shop. Sammy would write down “stolen ideas” to use in Steal a Brainrot, and eventually became very large and attempted to stomp on Jandel.
The first admin abuse event hosted by a content creator, featuring Albert (Flamingo), a famous Roblox influencer known for abusing admin powers in multiple games. The event introduced:
This celebrity collaboration featured NFL star Travis Kelce and introduced:
Dave, the lead singer of Glass Animals, participated in this music-themed event. He almost got his admin commands revoked after stocking the Great Pumpkin, a limited Transcendent seed during the Ghoul Garden Event, which Jandel almost stopped him from doing.
1. Join Early (90 Minutes Before)
2. Prepare Your Garden Layout
3. Stock Essential Items
4. Optimize Your Device
1. The “Golden Hour” Strategy Plant your most valuable crops exactly 60 minutes before admin abuse begins. This timing ensures they’re ready for harvest during peak mutation periods while minimizing risk of theft or server disconnections.
2. Shop Restock Priority When admin abuse triggers shop restocks, immediately buy in this order:
3. Mutation Stacking Technique The real secret to massive profits is mutation stacking. Here’s the proven method:
Example: A Grape with Static (8x) + Shocked (100x) + Tempestuous (12x) = 9,600x multiplier!
4. Position Strategy
5. Multi-Device Approach (Advanced) Experienced players often use multiple devices to join different servers, increasing their chances of rare seed acquisitions during competitive restocks. However, ensure you’re not violating Roblox’s terms of service.
After years of participating in admin abuse events, here are the mistakes I see most often:
1. Joining Too Late Don’t show up 10 minutes before the update! The best events happen in the first 30-45 minutes. I recommend joining 90 minutes early.
2. Not Having Space Prepared Nothing’s worse than getting a rare seed and having nowhere to plant it. Clear your garden beforehand.
3. Ignoring Chat Announcements Jandel often gives hints about upcoming events or special drops in global chat. Commands like “restock,” “blackhole,” or “disco” give you 10-15 seconds to react.
4. Focusing on Only One Type of Reward Balance between mutations, cosmetics, and shop items for maximum value. Don’t tunnel vision on just one thing.
5. Leaving Too Early Some of the best rewards come at the very end of admin abuse events, or even as surprise “encore” giveaways after the event officially ends. Stay for at least 15-30 minutes after the main event concludes.
6. Panic Buying First Restock Don’t panic-buy on the first restock. The best pets and seeds often show up later in the chaos. Be strategic.
Thanks to community demand, there’s now a second weekly admin abuse event on Sundays called “Stormy Sundays” hosted by DevNamedDavid (also known as BMWlux).
These events run throughout the day and feature more relaxed, community-focused activities. While not as consistently scheduled as Saturday events, they’re perfect for players who can’t make the early Saturday sessions due to time zones.
Note: Stormy Sundays don’t appear as frequently as Saturday admin abuse and may not happen every week. The community has noted that these events “may likely not happen ever” in terms of a consistent schedule, so check the official Discord for announcements.

Interestingly, there are some seeds that Jandel has never manually restocked during any admin abuse event:
This information is valuable because if these seeds ever get restocked during an admin abuse, they’ll likely be incredibly valuable due to their rarity.
Admin abuse typically starts at 6:00 AM PT every Saturday, which is about 60 minutes before the weekly update. However, Jandel sometimes starts up to 90 minutes early for major events. Always check the schedule table in this guide for your specific time zone.
Yes! Saturday admin abuse happens every week before major updates. Stormy Sundays are more variable but occur most weekends. Special collaboration events (like celebrity appearances) are announced in advance on the official Discord.
You can still get some rewards if you join late, but you’ll miss the best events. The first 30 minutes typically have the most valuable weather events and freebies, including exclusive cosmetics and rare mutations. Late joiners often only catch shop restocks.
Don’t worry! There’s another one next week. Use the time to prepare your garden and stock up on supplies for the next event. Admin abuse is a recurring weekly event, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities.
Most cosmetics and special seeds from admin abuse are tradeable, but some exclusive items are soulbound. Check the item description before attempting to trade. Items like certain pets and cosmetics may be bound to your account.
No! Admin abuse events are completely free to participate in. While some rare items in the game may cost Robux, the events themselves and many rewards are available to all players without spending money.
Look for these signs:
Admin abuse weather:
Regular weather:
Admin abuse events occur simultaneously across all public servers. Private servers rarely get admin abuse effects, as the entire point is drawing large crowds and creating a community celebration. Stick to public servers for admin abuse.
This has happened before, especially during the Admin Abuse War which peaked at over 18 million concurrent players. The development team usually extends the event or reschedules for later that day. Follow the official Discord for real-time updates during technical difficulties.
This is a pro-level technique where you intentionally expose your crops to multiple weather effects during a single admin abuse event to stack mutations.
Example Stacking Strategy:
The key is understanding which mutations stack well together and timing your garden exposure perfectly.
Many veteran players have learned that some of the best rewards come after the official event ends. Jandel sometimes does surprise “encore” giveaways 15-30 minutes after the main event, rewarding players who stick around.
How to execute:
For maximum efficiency, team up with friends in voice chat or Discord during admin abuse:
Mastering admin abuse timing in Grow a Garden separates casual farmers from billionaire agricultural tycoons. These Saturday events, where developer Jandel personally interacts with the community and triggers rare phenomena, offer unparalleled opportunities for progression, collection, and community engagement.
By understanding the timing (60-90 minutes before Saturday updates at 6:00 AM PT), preparing properly, and following the strategies outlined in this guide, you can maximize your benefits from each admin abuse event.
✓ Always join 90 minutes early – Better safe than sorry ✓ First 30 minutes are crucial – Best rewards happen early ✓ Prepare your garden beforehand – Clear space and plant valuable crops ✓ Watch global chat constantly – Jandel gives hints and announcements ✓ Don’t leave early – Encore rewards happen after official end ✓ Join the official Discord – Best source for real-time updates ✓ Stack mutations strategically – Exponential value multipliers ✓ Balance reward types – Don’t focus on just one thing
Remember that while these patterns are consistent, admin abuse events maintain an element of unpredictability that makes them special. Stay connected with the official community channels, be prepared for unexpected surprises, and most importantly, enjoy the chaos and excitement that make these events unique in the Roblox gaming landscape.
Happy gardening, and I’ll see you at the next admin abuse event! Don’t forget to set those alarms for January 2026‘s upcoming Saturday events.
