Gmax Crops

Added Axe harvesting detail, all four seasonal Gmax crops, attempt odds, and tilled soil replacement warning
Gmax crops are giant mutations of regular crops. When one triggers, a huge version of the plant grows across the tilled soil, replacing the individual plots. You harvest them with an Axe (not by interacting normally), and they yield the crop itself, seeds, and a Crop Fragment.
Gmax crops sell for more than the nine individual plants would have, so they are worth targeting once your farm is set up for it.
Only four crops, one per season:
Pineapple (Spring)
Watermelon (Summer)
Pumpkin (Autumn)
Winter Melon (Winter)
Buy seeds from the Happiness Seed Shop once you reach Junior Farmer level.
Till a 3x3 grid of soil on your farmland.
Plant 9 seeds of the same crop in the grid.
Water them daily and clear weeds immediately so all 9 plants grow at the same rate.
Wait for the growing time to finish. If a Gmax mutation triggers, a giant crop appears across the entire grid.
Place a Rabbit Hutch nearby to help keep weeds under control automatically.
The Gmax trigger is not guaranteed. It took one player four attempts to get a Gmax Pumpkin, so the odds are decent but not certain. During the Intermediate Farmer certification quest, it seems to trigger on the first try.
The harvest prompt only appears if you stand near the top of the Gmax crop. Pull out your Axe and swing at it. It takes several hits, but you get a bounty of items: multiple units of the crop, seeds, and a Season Crop Fragment.
One thing to know: when a Gmax crop grows, it destroys the tilled soil underneath. You will have to re-till those plots afterward.
The Intermediate Farmer certification quest from Graminova requires one Season Crop Fragment. You need any one of these:
Pineapple Fragment (Spring)
Watermelon Fragment (Summer)
Pumpkin Fragment (Autumn)
Winter Melon Fragment (Winter)
Since you start in Summer, Watermelon Fragment is the most common first target. Buy 9 Watermelon Seeds, plant them in a 3x3 grid, and keep weeds clear. Each crop is season-exclusive, so if you miss Summer, try Pumpkin in Autumn.
If you want to prevent Gmax from triggering (since it destroys tilled soil), keep your farm plots 2 wide or narrower. A 3x3 block is the minimum for a mutation.
