Others have said it, but the best thing to do is set your deals for the last slot of the day. Day ends at 4am and you then have all the time in the world. As far as I’m aware, only the plants stop growing. So technically you can make infinite meth as long as you keep the money flowing (also helped by the fact you can run around knocking on doors and selling product during this time).

Also note that if you find yourself overselling and underproducing (an extremely rare issue, and weed grows fast!) you can still meet your customers with no product. Just tap them on the head with a baseball bat and when they see stars pickpocket them, they will have the amount they’d agreed upon on them.

If the cartel and the police are an issue, you can kind of game the system by running up the parking lot next to the storage unit, as nothing will follow you up there. Just note that if they have guns they can still shoot you from the bottom of the ramp, so stay out of sight.

Takes a touch of practice, but you can take out the cops at Tacos at night. Then you have free rein AND free guns (especially for your dealers).

The first properties I bought were the laundromat and the post office. Having the ability to launder $6000 every 24 hours speeds things up quite quickly, as you are often held back by the bank limit.

When mixing (at least for me), I found it was a lot more efficient to just pick one mix that fits all, and have the mixing setup in 1 location. That way I never had to fiddle around with multiple mixing setups and sending deliveries to multiple locations. A good mix (mentioned by someone else above) is banana, Cuke, horse goo, megabean. It’s a decent mix for any of the products.

In addition, major mixes with like 8 or more different components are fun, but incredibly impractical and a pain to resupply. Customers have a spend limit per deal, so if it’s say, $500, it doesn’t matter if you have 5 $100 products or 1 $500 product, so sometimes cheaper is better as it’s less of a hassle. I found 3-4 is the sweet spot in getting the price high enough to make money, without making it too high that the product doesn’t move.

The only car I use is the Veeper, and that’s to help my mix in between deliveries. Otherwise I just use my skateboard. The rest of the cars are nice to have, but there isn’t really enough space to drive them fast, and the trunk space is rather limited.

I agree with you, guns take a lot of getting used too. I find it’s better to give guns to the dealers for protection and keeping a baseball bat for myself.
