How to grow Gmax crops for fragments
Plant in-season seeds in a perfect 3×3 grid on tilled land to trigger giant Gmax growth.
Step 1: Buy seeds
Head to Happiness Seed Shop and purchase nine seeds of the current season’s crop, such as pumpkin in autumn or watermelon in summer.
Step 2: Prepare land
Till exactly nine adjacent plots into a 3×3 square using your hoe. Clear all weeds promptly, or place a nearby rabbit hutch to manage them automatically.
Step 3: Plant and water
Sow one seed per plot, filling the entire grid. Water thoroughly with your watering can, and apply fertilizer if available to speed growth.

Step 4: Harvest Gmax
Wait for uniform growth; a giant Gmax crop appears in the center. Chop it with a hatchet to yield one fragment plus regular produce and seeds.
How to craft pumpkin furniture
With five pumpkin fragments, build a full set at your crafting station to complete the trial.
Step 1: Gather fragments
Repeat Gmax process until you collect five pumpkin fragments, as shown for sofas.
Step 2: Access blueprint
Ensure you have furniture blueprints; craft requires fragments only for this set.

Step 3: Build sofa and tea table
At workbench, select pumpkin sofa (five fragments) and matching tea table. Confirm both craft successfully.

Step 4: Deliver to Graminova
Return crafted items to Graminova to submit and finish the quest.
