Lightning route
Watch the strike, then inspect one crop
A strike near the plot is not proof that this crop became Electric; an unverified multiplier can delay a normal harvest.
Follow the route
Confirm the storm in this server and choose one crop that can be observed and protected.
Check its label after a strike for Electric; the reported short window is only a reminder.
If Electric appears, use the mutation value route; otherwise sell or replant using the crop's normal state.
Electric is visible on the chosen crop and its live quote is checked, or the crop returns to its ordinary sell or replant route.
Lightning · after-strike check
Did this strike leave an Electric label on your crop?
A flash near the plot is only an event clue. Follow one crop from the strike to its own label; do not keep an ordinary harvest waiting for a mutation that never appeared.
STORM visible in this server→ STRIKE near or on this crop→ LABEL Electric on the crop
Crop not selected
Choose one crop before reading the strike.
A storm, a strike near the plot, and an Electric crop label are different observations.
The crop’s label—not the sky—decides its value route.
Window / crop / exit board
Lightning timing gates
Use the weather page as a live timing board: confirm the window, choose a ready crop, and decide what proves the wait was worthwhile.
Start the reminder after the current server shows the weather.
Lightning strikes may hit crops, granting the Electric mutation.
Use the live quote and remaining time instead of a fixed timer promise.
Stop holding through Lightning when the crop is unprotected, the window is ending, or no visible change appears.
Reset to the crop's current state, cash out or replant safely, and return when a new server window is visible.
Worked decision
A storm without Electric
Lightning is active for a short window but the watched crop has no Electric label.
Decision
Continue the normal crop route rather than postponing the sale solely for another strike.
Why this route
The storm is the opportunity, not a guaranteed result.
If the state changes
If a later strike gives one crop Electric, switch only that crop to the Electric value check.

Page-specific questions
Before you commit
Does Lightning guarantee Electric?
No. Lightning is a chance window. Inspect the crop after a strike and use the Electric route only when the mutation is visible.
Should I buy a new seed just because Lightning is active?
Only when the seed is visible, the route can finish inside the useful window, and one repeat purchase remains funded. Weather alone is not a buy signal.
What if the Lightning window changes early?
Use the current crop state and live quote, reset the timer, and exit to the funded replant plan instead of holding on the old duration.
