Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for 'The Orphic Hammer' quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start, rent a room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Character Creation & Spawn: After a cutscene, customize your character. You spawn near a bus station across from a motel.
  2. 2
    "Getting Started" Quest: Open your phone ('Tab'), read messages from "Unknown." Go to the payphone to meet "U.N." (Uncle Nelson). He instructs you to find his stash near the skatepark, containing $375.
  3. 3
    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 objective. Return to Uncle Nelson at the payphone.
  4. 4
    "Gearing Up" Quest - Buying Equipment: Head to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road left from your room). The quest updates to deposit cash at the ATM and buy a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's recommended to also buy "Plant Trimmers," "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." Consider buying a trash grabber and "Trash bag" for optional tasks. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may give you "Speed Grow."
  5. 5
    Setting up the Grow Tent: Return to your motel room. Place the grow tent and add soil to the pot using the 'E' key.
  6. 6
    Planting Seeds: Talk to Uncle Nelson again, who introduces Albert Hoover. Open your phone and message Albert to order seeds. Purchase "OG Kush." The seed will be delivered to a highlighted dead drop. Pick it up and sow it in the grow tent by pressing 'E'.
  7. 7
    Watering and Growing: Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant in the grow tent. Sleeping after watering speeds up growth and conserves water. Plants grow about 15% per in-game hour.
  8. 8
    Harvesting: Once the plant is fully grown, use the "Plant Trimmers" on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
  9. 9
    Packaging: Place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it to package the harvested buds into baggies. You can also unpack items if needed.
Tips
  • Character appearance is locked after creation but can be changed in game files. Future updates may include barbershops, clothing shops, and tattoo parlors.
  • Speed-runners can step into room 1 and immediately start the next quest.
  • Depositing cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by cops or if you die.
  • Items that don't fit in your inventory are placed on pallets outside the hardware store.
  • Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack.
  • Right-clicking an item and scrolling allows for custom amounts when grabbing from storage.
  • Albert Hoover's deliveries are placed in dead drops, which are highlighted when they contain items.
  • Debts to Albert are paid by placing cash in the dead drop behind the hardware store.
  • Plants grow faster and more efficiently if you sleep after watering them, especially around 4 AM.
Baggies and jars can be used to store buds.

Successfully completing these initial steps rewards you with your first harvest of OG Kush, setting you up for future endeavors in Schedule I.
