A comprehensive guide to starting your journey in Schedule I, covering character customization, initial quests, renting a motel room, buying equipment, and planting your first seeds.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After creating your character, you'll spawn near 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 to meet 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson), who instructs you to collect his stash near the skatepark. You'll find $375.
  3. 3
    Speak to the motel manager, Donna, to rent a room. You can then pickpocket her to retrieve the $75 used for the room, gaining a cash boost.
  4. 4
    Enter room 1 to complete the quest objective.
  5. 5
    Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again, initiating the 'Gearing Up' questline.
  6. 6
    Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map or by following the road).
  7. 7
    Deposit your cash at the ATM.
  8. 8
    Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can from the hardware store. It's also recommended to buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Consider a trash grabber and a 'Trash bag' for optional benefits.
  9. 9
    If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you 'Speed Grow'.
  10. 10
    Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot.
  11. 11
    Go back to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson, who introduces you to Albert Hoover.
  12. 12
    Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select 'I need to order a [dead drop]' and purchase 'OG Kush' seeds.
  13. 13
    Collect the seeds from the delivered [dead drop] (initially highlighted on the map).
  14. 14
    Sow the seed in the grow tent by walking up to it with the seed and pressing 'E'.
  15. 15
    Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant.
  16. 16
    Sleep to advance plant growth (plants grow about 15% per in-game hour).
  17. 17
    Once the plant is fully grown, harvest the buds using the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent.
  18. 18
    Place the 'Packaging Station' and use it to package the harvested buds into baggies.
Tips
  • Speed-runners can open the motel room door and step inside, then immediately leave to complete the objective quickly.
  • Depositing all cash at the ATM is safer, as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
  • When buying items at the hardware store, you can add up to 10 at a time or adjust quantities. Items that don't fit in your inventory will be placed on pallets outside.
  • Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack.
  • Albert Hoover's deliveries are placed in [dead drops] which are highlighted when they contain items. You can pay off your tab by placing cash in the [dead drop] behind the hardware store.
  • Watering the plant before sowing the seed is possible.
  • Sleeping right after watering can optimize growth and prevent water waste.
  • Baggies are not the only storage option; jars can also be purchased at the hardware store.

Completing initial quests rewards you with cash ($375 from Uncle Nelson, with the option to steal back $75 for the motel room) and the ability to start growing and selling your own product.
