Complete walkthrough for The Blacksmith's Secret quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your harvest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Character Creation & Spawn: After a short intro cutscene, customize your character. You'll spawn in front of the bus station.
  2. 2
    'Getting Started' Quest: Open your phone ('Tab'), read messages from 'Unknown'. Go to the payphone to meet 'Uncle Nelson'. He'll direct you to fetch his stash near the skatepark, containing $375.
  3. 3
    Renting a Motel Room: Speak to Donna, the motel manager. 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 - Hardware Store: Uncle Nelson starts a new questline. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road past your room).
  5. 5
    Purchasing Equipment: At the hardware store, 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 the next quest. Optionally, buy a trash grabber and 'Trash bag'. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'.
  6. 6
    Setting up the Grow Tent: Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill it with soil using the watering can. Talk to Uncle Nelson again.
  7. 7
    Planting Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. Order seeds via the 'Dead Drop' message option. Purchase 'OG Kush' seeds. Albert will deliver them to a nearby dead drop. Pick up the seed and sow it in the grow tent. Water the plant using the watering can. Sleeping after watering helps plants grow faster and conserves water.
  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.
