Description
GrowBud - your bud-growing buddy that keeps you company whilst you work or play. Cultivate 20+ cannabis strains as a configurable desktop sidebar, master their genetics through dual club progression, and build your ultimate strain collection.
Strain Discovery & Mastery
Discover 20+ cannabis strains, each with unique growing requirements. Plants progress through perpetual cycles - vegetative, pre-flowering, flowering, harvest, and recovery - with each cycle presenting new challenges. Level up individual strains through five mastery levels to unlock genetic research and produce perfect 6-star buds.
Club Progression
Progress through The Grow Club, led by Sage, to become a master grower (knowledge & craft) and The Bud Club, with Blaze, to become a master designer (efficiency & yield). Complete challenges from both paths simultaneously to unlock exclusive strains, genetics, and equipment. Progress through three levels in each club - six levels total - to become a master cultivator.
Orders
Grow your buds and complete orders for the local dispensary, premium buyers, and rush orders to earn gold, unlock new strains, and gain exclusive rewards.
Gene Expressions
Use strategic genetic modifiers to customise strain characteristics, enhance traits, and unlock different playstyles - full automation for hands-off growing, productivity bonuses for focused work, or active management for detailed control. Uncover mystery expressions that significantly reshape the growing experience.
Stage Transitions & Minigames
Navigate growing challenges through stage transition events featuring games of chance - coin toss, dice roll, cup shuffle, rock-paper-scissors, and more. The deeper you progress, the more unexpected things start happening. Unlock the Wheel of Fortune and Blackjack Table at higher club levels, or test your skills at the Bud Club Crane Game to win exclusive customisation options.
Collection
Gotta grow 'em all! Discover, grow, and master all 20+ strains, earning the coveted Golden Status. Gaze upon your collection in beautiful jar displays in the strain library.
Grow House Customisation
Upgrade your growing spaces with better lighting, equipment, themes, and decorations. Advanced gear helps tackle the challenges of higher-level strains and improves your overall efficiency through automation. Seasonal holiday content adds festive flair throughout the year.
Desktop Companion Features
Sits as a configurable sidebar - anchored to the left or right of any screen and adjustable up to half your display width. Features multi-monitor support, always-on-top mode, and flexible positioning. Transform unused screen space into a scrolling stack of grow houses that progress autonomously whilst you focus on other tasks.
