Growing plants, or even the most basic OG Kush in bulk, is your one-way ticket to a budding empire in Schedule 1. You want the best setup to grow your product, so here are the best tricks to make more profits and make your life easier.
The Best Early Plant Growing Setup in Schedule 1
When you start growing your OG Kush, you don’t necessarily need to make the best OG Kush mix all the time. Instead, you should focus on quantity over quality before pushing other processes.
Start by maximizing as much space as possible in your properties. You can have four growers in the motel room and push it to six or eight once you move to the Chinese restaurant. In Bungalow, you don’t really need to add more stuff; you want to swap the growers to the suspension rack, add full-spectrum lights, and an air pot setup.
Eight is the perfect number for growing plant products in bulk since one botanist can handle eight at a time, and you don’t want to go over unless you push to 16 pots with two botanists.
You’ll use this early planting setup in the early game (up to Bungalow).

Best Lategame Plant Growing Setup in Schedule 1
Once you reach the barn or the warehouse, you want to push your farming setup to 16 pots and remove all the water sprinklers and soil pourers. You’ll usually get these sprinklers and soil pourers before you have botanists.
If you want to save money, skip the sprinklers and soil pourers. That means you’ll have to pour soil and water the plants manually until you can start hiring employees.
In the barn, there’s enough space for 16 pots on one side of the barn. But you’ll want to have six large storage racks near your plants, so botanists need to cover less distance. Try to fit all of these into one side.
Assign each botanist to 8 pots and select two large storage racks (4 pots each) for your destination. Since you have 16 pots, you have two botanists, and you’re most likely using four large storage racks to keep all the products neatly in one spot.
As for the two other large storage racks, dump the long-lasting soil and your preferred seeds. Don’t separate the seeds and long-lasting soils. One large storage rack should have half seeds and half soils for both large storage racks. Assign each large storage rack to 8 pots each as the “supply.”
For the final product, assign another large storage rack as the destination so that every trimmed product goes there. Hire a packager and place the packaging station near the storage rack. Automate the packaging, and the whole plant growing setup should be fully automated.
If you want to improve the quality of your product, you can dry some of it on a drying rack or hire another botanist to automate the drying process. However, it isn’t as worth it if you aren’t mixing your own product.
I suggest packaging all your products in jars and giving them to your dealers for a fully automated process. Production is fully automated, while distribution is only partially automated since you still have to give the dealers your products to sell and collect the money.
