When you start the game for the first time on a save, there will be a tutorial popup with multiple menus to click through and learn the basics. Make sure to read through these if you don't have a clue how any of this works. Some of the screenshots in the tutorial menu may look different to what you see, but these are only minor visual changes as the game has been updated.

To setup first you need to grab your items from the mailbox

After this you can turn to your right and head into the first door you see.


This is your grow room for now.


You can start by placing the Grow Box down first.



After the box is down, you can proceed to place all of the parts to it.




When you are finished your box should look like this.

Next you can place down all of the other Items that you have. (the location is not important, I just prefer it to be neat)





When all of it is placed, it should look like this (if you did as I did)


Now you can turn on the Air Conditioner to make sure your grow environment is optimal.

This is the end of Setting Up! You can now leave the guide to play on your own from here, or continue reading to see how I start my first grow!

This Section details how to start your first grow, along with other small tips near the end. Before your grow, be sure to sell off any items that you haven't used, as well as the Skunk #1 seeds.


From here you can press I on keyboard to access the shop menu, next you navigate to seeds shop and then "regular CBD seeds". you should buy as many Ocean Breeze CBD seeds as you can.


Skip to the next day at 6 am after ordering, This will sell the items you had on the pallet, and the seeds will arrive in the mailbox.


If you plant now, you will see 3 symbols appear above your planted seed. The water drop means the plant needs water, the fan and light symbols mean it needs the fan and light on.


Look at your grow box, clicking F on keyboard opens the growth info. You will now click Cultivation Possibility and change it to Clones/Seedlings.

Turn on the lights, fan, then plant and water the seed.

You can now continue to monitor and care for the plant until it needs to be trimmed/defoliated.

Around day 21-24 the plant will require a transplant, its the same as trimming but the plant pot changes, and you will see the plant trim percent change from seedling stage to bloom stage.


When the plant reaches 100% bloom, you trim it and it will give you Clones.


With these you can start plants faster, and keep them in bulk. You should keep cloning the plant until you have a multiple of 4, I go for 36 clones, this allows you to run 36 individual plants, or 9 groups of 4 each.

Now you can swap the Cultivation Possibility to Bloom/Buds, and Plant your clones!


Continue to Nurture your plants and maintain them up until they get to bloom(21-25 days), when this happens you MUST swap them to 12 hour light cycle instead of 18 hour cycle otherwise it will slowly kill your plant.


You can now Harvest your crop! Well done!

To breed or cross plants you need to have a female and a male plant. Getting a male and Female is very simple, all you need is regular, Non-Feminized, Seeds.
Plant the seeds and maintain the plants until they reach bloom stage, During bloom stage you can then check for males and females, if there are no males, you need to kill all the seedlings and replant new seeds.

Male:

Female:

Bringing the plants through bloom will allow the plants to become "polled" or pollinated. This will create seeds using the two parent plants genetics. ex. Big Bud and White Widow or Ocean Breeze CBD and Green Gelato, resulting in Big Widow or Ocean Gelato respectively. The games breeding system is very simplistic currently, so there isn't or pheno and genotype variations. Depending on what you breed together, it may increase CBD or THC, but aside from that I haven't noticed any other changes.

Un-polled Female:

Polled Female:

Harvesting these plants will give you the crossed seeds, and only the seeds, there is no bud when they are seeded.

With your Harvest, you can take it to the drying rack and deposit it. This will slowly dry the crop to an acceptable level.


After the crop is dry, you can bring it to the trimming table and trim it. (untrimmed buds sell for significantly less)((16.41 trimmed vs 5.00 untrimmed))
To pick up the Trimmed Bud you need to left click it.


You can now take it to the Pallet in the main room, depositing the buds and waiting until 6 am next morning will give you the cash from your crop! (I only trimmed a few buds, the real payout is much more)



This is the end of the Basic Guide! Thank you for reading this far, please enjoy the game and stay safe.
