Your comprehensive guide to The Abandoned Mine in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Starting the Game: After character customization, you spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') to find a message from 'Unknown', directing you to a payphone. 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson) gives you the quest to find his stash near the skatepark, containing $375.
  2. 2
    Renting a Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. After dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the quest. Return to Uncle Nelson at the payphone.
  3. 3
    Buying Equipment: A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road past your room). Deposit your cash at the ATM. Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies' for future quests. Optionally, buy a trash grabber and a 'Trash bag'. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'. Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot. Speak to Uncle Nelson again.
  4. 4
    Planting your First Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. Order seeds via a 'Dead Drop' message. Purchase one 'OG Kush' seed. Albert will deliver it to a highlighted 'Dead Drop' location. Pay Albert by placing cash in the dead drop behind the hardware store. Sow the seed in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when holding the seed. Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink). Sleep to advance plant growth (around 45% grown if sleeping at 4 AM).
  5. 5
    Packaging: Once the plant is fully grown, harvest it using the 'Plant Trimmers'. Place down the 'Packaging Station'. Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. Drag baggies to the 'Packaging' spot and buds to the 'Input'. Press 'Pack', then drag each bud into a baggie, and the baggie into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output. You can also unpack weed. Jars can also be purchased at the hardware store for storage.
Tips
  • You can steal back the $75 for the motel room from Donna after renting it.

  • Hold 'Shift' when grabbing items from storage to take the entire stack.
  • 'Speed Grow' can be obtained from Dan at the hardware store if you mention you are a drug dealer.
  • Plants grow faster if you sleep after watering them, and you won't waste water or time.
  • OG Kush is recommended for beginners due to its ease and cost-effectiveness.
  • Dead drops with items inside are highlighted on the map.
  • $375 from Uncle Nelson's stash.
  • A small cash boost by pickpocketing Donna.
