This trick is primarily used in the [[Any%]] category, but it can apply to other categories as well.

Since Daylight Saving Time functionality is built into the Switch's operating system, rather than implemented through Internet connectivity, setting the system's clock to the time when ~~Daylight Savings~~ takes place will cause the system's clock to jump forward an hour. This can be timed so that it causes a seed to grow instantly, since the game thinks an hour has elapsed since the seed was planted.

DST Abuse can be applied to any seed moon in the game, although it is usually used for the ''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed'' moon in [[Tostarena Town]], since this is the only place where the trick is known to be useful in speedruns.
