The Herbalist's Dilemma — Schedule I Walkthrough

Starting the Game: After character customization, you'll spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read the message from 'Unknown' to start the 'Getting Started' quest. Go to the payphone to meet 'Uncle Nelson' (U.N.). He'll direct you to collect his stash near the skatepark, containing $375.

Renting a Motel Room: Speak to Donna, the motel manager, at the house next to the motel. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. After the dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the objective. Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.

Buying Equipment: A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map or by following the road). You'll receive quests to deposit 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'. If you tell Dan at the hardware store you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'. Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot. Speak to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again.

Planting your First Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces you to Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. To order seeds, select 'I need to order a dead drop' and choose 'OG Kush'. After ordering, Albert will deliver the seed to a dead drop location. Pick up the seed and sow it in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when prompted. Water the plant using the watering can, which you can fill at the sink. Sleeping after watering helps plants grow faster and conserves water.

Packaging: Once the plant is harvested using the 'Plant Trimmers', place down the 'Packaging Station'. Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. Drag baggies to the 'Packaging' spot and buds to the 'Input' spot. Press 'Pack', then drag each bud into a baggie, and finally drag the baggie into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output.
