Schedule 1is all about building your drug empire step-by-step. While you start out on your own, growing plants and selling your products on the street, as you progress you’ll open up new avenues to expand your business - including hiring staff, likeBotanists.
Botanists are responsible for planting and harvesting seeds, whether that be weed seeds or coke seeds. You’ll need to assign them to grow boxes and the shelves where you’ll store the necessary materials for them to work, as well as set them up using the management clipboard and assign them a bed.

How To Hire A Botanist
Like the other members of staff - such as Cleaners and Packers - Botanist staff can be hired via the Fixer located in the Warehouse you unlock atHoodlum V.
Botanists cost $1,000 upfront with a rolling daily cost of $200, which must be deposited in the suitcase at the end of their assigned bed.
You can place beds at any of your properties, not just where the worker will be stationed. You can also place as much cash as you want in the suitcase at the end of their bed, which means you don’t need to replenish the cash every day.
How To Fix It If Your Botanist Isn’t Working
To make sure your Botanist has everything they need to work, they’ll need access to storage withsoil and seedsinside, as well asgrow boxes assignedto them. you’re able to do all of this with theManagement Clipboard.Simply click on the worker and then assign them to your desired work stations.
For Botanists, you will need to select a storage where you keep your seeds and soil (and any fertilizers or quick grow you want them to use), and then select the pots you want them to grow in. Once you’ve selected the pots, you can use theManage Potfunction to connect the pots to an output storage where you want the harvest to be stored.
Botanists will notpackagetheir product. To do this, you’ll need to assign Packers to the shelves that the Botanists are using to store their plants, as well as a packaging station.
As you progress in the game, the ultimate endgame is managing your delivery orders to make sure that your workers always have what they need to keep working.
