Hidden Quests

Starting the Game: After character customization, you'll spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read messages to find one from 'Unknown' directing you to a payphone. This leads to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson), who instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark. You'll find $375.

Renting a Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. You can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room, then enter room 1 to complete the objective. Uncle Nelson will want to speak to you again at the payphone.

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 past your room). Deposit your cash at the ATM. Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can from Dan. It's also recommended to buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift 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 Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. To order seeds, select 'I need to order a [dead drop]'. Purchase 'OG Kush' seeds. Albert will deliver them to a highlighted [dead drop] location within 30 in-game minutes. Sow the seed in the grow tent and water the plant using the watering can. Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour. Sleeping after watering helps progress.

Packaging: Once the plant is harvested using the 'Plant Trimmers', place down the 'Packaging Station'. Use the interface to pack buds into baggies. You can also unpackage weed or buy jars at the hardware store for storage.
