Walkthrough

1
Character Creation & Spawn: After the intro cutscene, customize your character. You will spawn in front of the bus station across from the motel.
2
Getting Started Quest: Open your phone ('Tab' key) and read messages. An 'Unknown' message directs you to a payphone to meet 'Uncle Nelson'.
3
Fetch Stash: Uncle Nelson instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark, located on a ledge by the road leading to the motel. You will find $375.
4
Rent Motel Room: Speak to Donna, the motel manager. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. You can pickpocket Donna to reclaim the $75 needed for the room, giving you a cash boost. Enter room 1 to complete the objective.
5
Return to Payphone: Uncle Nelson wants to speak to you again at the payphone.
6
Gearing Up Questline:
7
Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by walking forward from your room, turning left at the road's end).
8
Deposit your cash at the ATM.
9
Purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can from Dan. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Consider buying a trash grabber and a 'Trash bag' for optional quests and space management.
10
If you tell Dan 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 using the watering can.
12
Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
13
Planting Seeds:
14
Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert.
15
Order seeds via message. Currently, only 'OG Kush' is available. Place your order.
16
The seeds will be delivered to a 'Dead Drop' location (a small metal drawer with a cross). The first delivery takes 30 in-game minutes (30 seconds), subsequent deliveries take about 4 in-game hours (4 minutes). Debts are managed via a tab, payable at a dead drop behind the hardware store.
17
Pick up the seed and sow it in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when prompted.
18
Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink).
19
Sleep to advance plant growth (plants grow about 15% per in-game hour).
20
Harvesting & Packaging:
21
Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
22
Place down the 'Packaging Station'.
23
Interact with the packaging station, place baggies in the 'Packaging' slot and buds in the 'Input' slot. Press 'Pack', then drag each bud into a baggie, and the baggie into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output.

Tips

Speed-runners can open the motel room door and step inside just to trigger the quest completion, then immediately move on.
Depositing all 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 with one click. Right-clicking and scrolling adjusts the amount.
Buying OG Kush is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness for mixing with other strains later.
Watering the plant before sowing the seed is possible.
Sleeping right after watering can optimize growth and prevent water wastage, especially around 4 AM.
Baggies are not the only containers; jars can also be purchased at the hardware store.

$375 starting cash.
Ability to grow and package your first batch of OG Kush.
Access to essential equipment for your drug-growing operation.
