Guide Schedule I: Start and Grow Your First Plant

AntMag.NET

Walkthrough

1
After the intro cutscene and character customization, you spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read messages to start the 'Getting Started' quest.
2
Go to the payphone and talk to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson). He'll instruct you to find his stash near the skatepark, by the road leading to the motel. You'll find $375.
3
Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'.
4
After talking to Donna, you can pickpocket her to get the $75 needed for the room.
5
Go to room 1 and step inside to complete the quest objective.
6
Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
7
A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Head to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by walking forward from your room until the road ends, then turning left).
8
At the hardware store, deposit your cash at the ATM (use 'MAX' for safety).
9
Purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Consider a 'Trash grabber' and 'Trash bag' for recycling and space management.
10
If you tell Dan at the hardware store you're a drug dealer, he may gift you 'Speed Grow'.
11
Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill the pot with soil.
12
Go back to the payphone to talk to Uncle Nelson, who introduces you to Albert Hoover.
13
Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select 'I need to order a [dead drop]' and choose 'OG Kush'.
14
Albert will deliver the seed to a [dead drop] location (a small metal drawer with a cross). Pay off your debt by placing cash in the [dead drop] behind the hardware store.
15
Pick up the seed and sow it in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when prompted.
16
Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant.
17
Sleep to advance plant growth (plants grow about 15% per in-game hour).
18
Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
19
Place down the 'Packaging Station'. Interact with it to package the buds into baggies.

Tips

Speed-runners can open the motel room door and step inside, then immediately start the next quest without fully exploring the room.
Depositing cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it to fines or medical bills if caught or killed.
When buying items at the hardware store, you can add up to 10 at a time to your cart. Items that don't fit in your inventory will be placed outside on pallets.
Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack. Right-clicking and scrolling adjusts the amount.
If you sleep at 4 AM, your plants will be about 45% grown, and you won't waste water or time.
You can unpackage weed at the packaging station if needed.
Jars can also be purchased at the hardware store for storing buds.
