Walkthrough

1
After the opening cutscene and character customization, you spawn near the bus station. Your first quest, "Getting Started," directs you to open your phone (Tab key) and read messages.
2
Find a message from "Unknown" asking you to go to the payphone. This updates the quest to talk to "U.N." (Uncle Nelson).
3
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
Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel to get the quest "Rent a motel room."
5
After the dialogue with Donna, you can pickpocket her to steal back the $75 needed for the room, giving you a cash boost.
6
Go to motel room 1 and step inside to complete the quest objective.
7
Return to Uncle Nelson at the payphone. A new questline, "Gearing Up," begins.
8
The first quest directs you 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).
9
At the hardware store, you'll receive quests to deposit cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. Use the "MAX" button at the ATM to deposit all your money.
10
Speak to Dan at the hardware store to purchase items. It's recommended to also buy "Plant Trimmers," a "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies" for future quests. Consider buying a trash grabber and a "Trash bag" for optional tasks and inventory management.
11
If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you "Speed Grow."
12
Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill the pot with soil by interacting with it while holding the soil bag.
13
Talk to Uncle Nelson again at the payphone. He introduces Albert Hoover.
14
Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select "I need to order a [dead drop]" and purchase "OG Kush" seeds.
15
Albert will deliver the seeds to a [dead drop] location (a small metal drawer with a cross). The first delivery is quick; subsequent ones take about 4 in-game hours. Your debt is placed on a tab, payable at the [dead drop] behind the hardware store.
16
Pick up the seeds and sow them in the grow tent by interacting with it while holding the seeds.
17
Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant in the grow tent.
18
Sleep in your motel room to advance plant growth. Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour.
19
Once the plant is fully grown, use the plant trimmers on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
20
Place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. You can also unpack items here.

Tips

You can steal back the $75 for the motel room from Donna after she takes it.
Speed-runners often only step one foot into motel room 1 to complete the objective quickly.
Depositing all your cash at the ATM is safer, as you won't lose it to fines or medical bills if you die.
When buying items from the hardware store, holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack. Right-clicking and scrolling adjusts the amount.
Buying the "Plant Trimmers," "Packaging Station," and "Baggies" early is recommended for the next quests.
A trash grabber can be useful for collecting recyclables, and a "Trash bag" is needed to dispose of the trash can in your motel room.
If you tell Dan at the hardware store you're a drug dealer, he might give you "Speed Grow."
It's easier to pay off Albert Hoover by putting more cash than required into the [dead drop], as he will only take what he is owed.
Plants grow faster if you sleep after watering them, and you won't waste water.
You can unpack weed by reversing the packaging process at the Packaging Station.
