Complete walkthrough for Schedule I, guiding you through starting the game, customizing your character, completing the 'Getting Started' and 'Gearing Up' quests, and setting up your first grow.
Walkthrough
- 1After the initial cutscene and character customization, you spawn in front of the bus station.
- 2Open your phone ('Tab') and read the message from 'Unknown' to start the 'Getting Started' quest.
- 3Go to the payphone and talk to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson).
- 4He instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark, located on a ledge by the motel road. You'll find $375.
- 5Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel to start the 'Rent a motel room' quest.
- 6After the dialogue, you can crouch behind Donna and pickpocket her to steal back the $75 needed for the room.
- 7Go to room 1 and step inside to complete the quest objective.
- 8Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
- 9A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Head to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road past your room and turning left).
- 10At the hardware store, you'll be tasked to deposit your cash at the ATM. Use the 'MAX' button for convenience and safety.
- 11Purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can from Dan.
- 12It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies' as they are part of the next quest.
- 13Optionally, buy a trash grabber for recycling trash and a 'Trash bag' to dispose of the trash can in your motel room.
- 14If you tell Dan you're a new drug dealer, he might give you 'Speed Grow', which speeds up plant growth.
- 15Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot using the 'E' key.
- 16Go back to the payphone to talk to Uncle Nelson, who introduces you to Albert Hoover.
- 17Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select 'I need to order a dead drop'.
- 18Purchase one 'OG Kush' seed. Albert will deliver it to a highlighted 'dead drop' location within 30 in-game minutes (30 seconds).
- 19Pay Albert by placing cash in the dead drop behind the hardware store. He will take only what is owed.
- 20Retrieve the seed from the dead drop.
- 21Sow the seed in the grow tent by holding the seed and pressing 'E' when prompted.
- 22Fill the watering can at the sink and water the plant in the grow tent.
- 23Sleep in your motel room to advance plant growth and avoid wasting water. Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour.
- 24Once the plant is fully grown, harvest it using the 'Plant Trimmers'.
- 25Place down the 'Packaging Station'.
- 26Interact with the packaging station, place baggies in the 'Packaging' slot, and buds in the 'Input' slot.
- 27Press 'Pack', then drag each bud into a baggie, and finally drag the baggie into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output.
Tips
- Speed-runners often open the motel room door and step just inside before immediately starting the next quest.
- Depositing all your cash at the ATM prevents loss if you are caught by police or die.
- Holding 'Shift' while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack at once. Right-clicking and scrolling lets you select a custom amount.
- Watering your plants right before sleeping is efficient as it maximizes growth and prevents water wastage.
- OG Kush is recommended for beginners due to its ease of cultivation and versatility in mixing with other strains.
- Dead drops are highlighted when they contain items.
- $375 from Uncle Nelson's stash.
- $75 cash boost after pickpocketing Donna.
- 'Speed Grow' (optional, from Dan).
