Complete walkthrough for The Wilderness in Schedule I. Learn how to start, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After character customization, you spawn at the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read the message from 'Unknown' to start the 'Getting Started' quest.
  2. 2
    Go to the payphone and talk to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson). He instructs you to find his stash near the skatepark, located on a ledge leading to the motel. You'll find $375.
  3. 3
    Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel to get the 'Rent a motel room' quest.
  4. 4
    You can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room.
  5. 5
    Enter room labeled '1' to complete the quest.
  6. 6
    Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
  7. 7
    A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Go 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. 8
    At the hardware store, deposit your cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Consider a trash grabber and trash bag.
  9. 9
    If you tell Dan at the hardware store you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'.
  10. 10
    Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill it with soil.
  11. 11
    Talk to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again. He introduces you to Albert Hoover.
  12. 12
    Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Purchase 'OG Kush' seeds.
  13. 13
    Albert will deliver the seeds to a highlighted 'Dead Drop' location. Pick them up.
  14. 14
    Go to your grow tent while holding the seed and press 'E' to sow it.
  15. 15
    Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant. Sleeping after watering helps plants grow faster and conserves water.
  16. 16
    Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
  17. 17
    Place down the 'Packaging Station'. Interact with it to package the buds into baggies.
Tips
  • Speed-runners often open the motel room door and immediately leave to start the next quest.
  • Depositing cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
  • Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack.
  • When buying items at the hardware store, you can select custom amounts by right-clicking and scrolling.
  • If you sleep at 4 AM, your plants will be 45% grown, and you won't waste water or time.
  • Albert Hoover's deliveries are placed in 'Dead Drops', which are small metal drawers with a cross on top. They are highlighted when containing items.
  • Debts to Albert are paid by placing cash in the dead drop behind the hardware store.
  • You can unpackage weed at the Packaging Station if needed.
  • $375 from Uncle Nelson's stash.
  • $75 (potentially stolen back from Donna).
  • Speed Grow (optional, from Dan).
  • Harvested OG Kush buds.
