Grow a Garden Fall Market 2026 + The Hunt: Chilli Mango Guide

Last Verified: September 20, 2026. Event data pulled from the Grow a Garden Fandom wiki — the Fall Market Event 2026 page, The Hunt: Roblox 20 page, and the Codes page, all fetched this morning. Every seed price, Fall Bloom requirement, stock chance and quest step below matches the wiki verbatim. Active codes on September 20: BEANORLEAVE10, RDCAward.

Two events are live in Grow a Garden right now, both dropped in the same 48-hour window: The Hunt: Roblox 20 opened on September 17 and runs until September 28, and the Fall Market Event 2026 opened on September 19 with no confirmed end date on the wiki yet. One hides a free event-exclusive seed behind a stealth minigame with a hard eleven-day timer; the other is a 50-tier Fall Bloom grind that gates a Red Panda pet and three top-shelf seeds behind participation counts. If you play GAG, this is the biggest weekend of the fall.

As someone with thousands of hours in the original Grow a Garden, the pattern here is familiar — a short, dated Hunt event bolted onto a longer, participation-gated shop grind — but the numbers are new, and a couple of them are aggressive enough to reshape the week.

TL;DR — The Wiki-Verified Numbers

• The Hunt: Roblox 20: September 17 to September 28, 2026. Eleven days total. Steal 50 crops from Owl Island past a sleeping Owl to earn the Chilli Mango seed and the Timeless Roots badge. Every crop being carried drops your walk speed by 2. Complete all Hunt quests for the free Grown From a Garden UGC.
• Fall Market Event 2026: Opened September 19, 2026. End date TBA on the wiki. New mechanic: Fall Bloom, where you submit plants matching one of seven traits (Berry, Fruit, Flower, Vegetable, Tropical, Prickly, Woody) to the Harvest Spirit NPC. A successful Fall Bloom occasionally mutates plants and rolls one of five rewards.
• Fall Bloom reward pool: 1x Autumn Crate, 1x Autumn Seed Pack, 1x Fall Egg, 1x Fall Crate, or 10x Watering Cans.
• Fall Market Seed Shop — 8 new seeds: Turnip (10M Sheckle / 129 Robux, no requirement), Parsley (20M / 169, 2 blooms), Autumn Seed Pack (10M / 199, 3 blooms), Meyer Lemon (50M / 247, 4 blooms), Carnival Pumpkin (100M / 479, 5 blooms), Kniphofia (450M / 659, 10 blooms), Golden Peach (900M / 719, 13 blooms), Maple Resin (1.5B / 999, 17 blooms).

The Hunt: Roblox 20 — Owl Island Stealth Run

The Hunt is running across the whole Roblox platform, and Grow a Garden’s slice of it is a stealth minigame on a location the game hasn’t used before. Straight from the event wiki page, verbatim:

“On the Tree Island, the player will encounter Sam. The player must steal 50 crops total from the Owl Island on the Tree Island, without being caught by the Owl. Every crop being held reduces the player’s walk speed by 2.”

Read that walk-speed line carefully. Two speed per crop is not small — a stack of five drops you by 10, ten drops you by 20, and the Owl is presumably tuned to catch anyone waddling around with fifteen. The wiki does not spell out the exact detection radius or the catch-and-reset penalty, and I will not invent numbers there. What is clear is the shape of the puzzle: this is a route-planning problem, not a stack-everything-in-one-trip problem.

Practical read: you are going to make multiple runs. Two or three crops at a time keeps you at a workable speed; six or more is when the Owl becomes the risk. Fifty crops divided by three-crop trips is roughly seventeen round trips, which is why the wiki flags this as the marquee Hunt quest — it eats most of the time budget.

After 50 crops are submitted to Sam, you receive the Chilli Mango seed and the Timeless Roots badge on the spot. Additional Hunt quests beyond the crop-stealing one unlock the Grown From a Garden UGC as a completion reward — the wiki has not published the full downstream quest list publicly yet.

Deadline: September 28, 2026. Eleven days from launch, roughly a week from today. The Hunt is not a repeat event, and last year’s platform-wide Hunt closed on time.

Chilli Mango — What the Reward Actually Is

Every rarity, hunger value, mutation interaction and multi-harvest status for Chilli Mango is TBA on the wiki as of September 20. The seed exists in the game files — that is how the reward is confirmed at all — but its stats page is a stub. Any guide claiming a specific Sheckle sell value, growth timer, or tier before players harvest the first ones is guessing.

What you do know: it is a Hunt-exclusive seed. Once the Hunt closes on September 28, the seed disappears from the reward pool — you can’t earn one after the event without trading. That is the entire strategic frame around this quest. Whatever Chilli Mango turns out to be worth, its ceiling is set by scarcity, and eleven days is the whole scarcity window.

Trade values will start settling on the wiki and community trade servers within about 48 hours of players growing and mutating the first ones. Do not sell early Chilli Mangoes before that.

Fall Market Event 2026 — Launch Details

Fall Market opened September 19, 2026 per the event wiki page. Unlike The Hunt, this one has no announced end date — the “end” field on the wiki reads “To be determined.” Historical precedent from Bizzy Bees, Beanstalk 2026 and the Harvest Moon Event is a three-to-four-week window, so budget your Fall Bloom count against that estimate rather than assuming another eleven-day sprint.

Structurally this is a full event: a new central NPC (Harvest Spirit), a new shop rotation across Seed / Pet / Gear / Cosmetic tabs, and a participation counter (Fall Bloom contributions) that gates progressively better stock.

Fall Bloom — The Trait-Submission Mechanic

The Fall Bloom is spawned by handing the Harvest Spirit plants matching a requested trait. The seven-trait pool is listed on the wiki:

• Berry — Strawberry, Blueberry, Twineberry, Astral Grape, and anything the wiki tags as Berry.
• Fruit — Corn, Apple, Watermelon, Cornling-adjacent crops.
• Flower — Lily, Rose, Tulip.
• Vegetable — Carrot, Onion, Cabbage.
• Tropical — Pineapple, Coconut.
• Prickly — Cactus family, Rose family.
• Woody — Bamboo, Maple, Oak.

A successful Fall Bloom rolls one of five rewards: 1x Autumn Crate, 1x Autumn Seed Pack, 1x Fall Egg, 1x Fall Crate, or 10x Watering Cans. The Fall Bloom also occasionally mutates plants in your garden. The wiki does not publish odds for either the reward roll or the mutation proc, so a guide quoting “35% Fall Egg chance” is fabricating.

Two overlays worth repeating from the wiki: (1) plants with growth mutations count for extra points on submission, matching the Lunar Glow and Beanstalk 2025 rule; and (2) shops restock automatically on Fall Bloom contribution — otherwise shops restock every 15 minutes. If you are grinding, contributing to Fall Bloom refreshes your inventory faster than the 15-minute timer alone.

Seed Shop Stock — All 8 New Seeds

Straight from the Fall Market Seed Shop table, with Sheckle prices, Robux equivalents, participation gates and stock chances:

Three observations. First, the stock chance falls off a cliff after Meyer Lemon — you can plausibly wait for a Meyer Lemon restock, but Kniphofia at 5.56% and Maple Resin at 1.67% demand sustained shop-refresh discipline. Second, the Robux prices climb faster than the Sheckle prices, so if you are weighing skip cost, Turnip and Autumn Seed Pack are the cheapest per-Sheckle offers. Third, Maple Resin at 1.5 billion Sheckles is the most expensive seed the Fall Market has published — hoard aggressively if you want one.

Pet Shop — 10 New Pets, One Gate at 50

The full Fall Market Pet Shop stock, with the same columns:

The Red Panda at 50 Fall Blooms is the ceiling grind of this event. 50 successful trait submissions plus the 1.67% stock chance means most players who unlock the slot will still not see it in a single restock cycle. If your goal is Red Panda, treat every Fall Bloom as recurring participation, not a one-time push.

The Mallard at 40 Fall Blooms is the second-highest gate, and its 7.14% stock chance actually gives it better realistic availability than the 15-bloom Woodpecker at 12.5% once the unlock is behind you.

Pet passives are not filled in on individual wiki pages for the new pets yet. Do not trust pre-launch YouTube tier lists ranking Red Panda #1 — nobody has the passive data.

What the Wiki Has NOT Confirmed Yet

Four categories of information are still stubs. If a guide, video or TikTok gives you a specific number for any of the below before the wiki does, they are guessing:

• Fall Market end date. Wiki reads “To be determined.” Plan against a three-to-four-week estimate based on prior events, not a hard number.
• Fall Bloom reward-roll odds and mutation-proc rate. Neither is published.
• Chilli Mango’s rarity tier, sell value, growth timer, and multi-harvest status. The seed exists in game files; the stats page is empty.
• Passives for all 10 Fall Market pets. Chipmunk, Red Squirrel, Marmot, Sugar Glider, Woodpecker, Space Squirrel, Mallard and Red Panda pages are stubs on hunger and ability.

Codes Check — September 20

Re-verified against the official Codes wiki page this morning. What our Grow a Garden codes page is currently showing as active on September 20:

• BEANORLEAVE10 — 1x Green Bean Chamber cosmetic. Active.
• RDCAward — 1x RDC Award cosmetic. Active.
• LUNARGLOW10 — Expired. Do not spam it.

No launch-day code shipped with either The Hunt or the Fall Market. If a TikTok promises a “secret Fall Market code” this week, do not click — the wiki mirrors new codes within hours, and no such entry has appeared as of this morning.

Prep Order for the Week

Working backwards from the shorter deadline first:

1. The Hunt closes September 28. Prioritise it. Eleven days is not much time for a stealth quest that punishes speed. Get to Sam on the Tree Island tonight, learn the Owl’s patrol pattern, and start on 2-crop trips. The Chilli Mango disappears when the event closes.
2. Bank Sheckles for Fall Market’s top tier. Maple Resin at 1.5 billion and Golden Peach at 900 million together approach 2.5 billion Sheckles. If you are chasing both, start selling any mutated backlog now.
3. Plant broad-trait crops for Fall Bloom submissions. Any Berry, Fruit, Flower, Vegetable, Tropical, Prickly or Woody plant can be submitted, so variety wins over volume-of-one-crop. Leftover Corn from Cornling week still counts as Fruit.
4. Use growth-mutated plants when you submit. Mutations grant bonus points per the event page, matching the Lunar Glow and Beanstalk 2025 rule.
5. Do not spend Robux on the 1.67% seeds until you have the Fall Bloom count. The 999-Robux Maple Resin is not available at all until you have logged 17 blooms.
