In ROB RUN, the Grow Room lets you grow weed and keep making money from every harvest, but you’ll need a Grow Table and a Growing Bush to get started. The initial setup costs $320,000 before the plot, so you don’t want to waste your money.
I’ll show you where to find plants in Looty Bay and how to turn them into profitable harvests. Here’s how to get started.

How to Unlock and Build a Grow Room in ROB RUN
To unlock a Grow Room in ROB RUN, you’ll want to rent a vacant plot first. Head to any settlement your crew already owns and look for the sign next to an empty spot. Rent it from there, then set up your base.
Once you’re in, hit H to open Shipments. Open Larry’s Tree and look under the Production branch. Research the Grow Room first, then the Grow Table. After they’re researched, just buy both from the Trade Laptop inside your base.
| Item | Function | Research Cost | Purchase Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grow Room | Houses up to 6 Grow Tables. | $150,000 | $100,000 |
| Grow Table | Holds up to 6 Growing Bushes for harvesting. | $30,000 | $40,000 |
You’re looking at about $320k for the Grow Room and your first Grow Table, before you even factor in the plot. Each additional table costs $40k since you only pay the research cost once. With six bushes per table and room for six tables, you can grow up to 36 plants at full capacity.
Where to Find Growing Bushes in ROB RUN
You can find Growing Bushes at three main spots in Looty Bay: the Gear Store, the Gun Shop on the south side of downtown, and around Rusty’s Burgers Café. Those three seem to be the most consistent right now.
A couple other places are also worth checking: the office inside the S Club jewelry store (near the loot crates) and the back rooms of the pharmacy. Just keep in mind that these spots aren’t guaranteed, so you might come back empty-handed.
Best Growing Bush Farming Route for Solo Players
The usual loop is Gear Store, then the Gun Shop, then Rusty’s Burgers Café. Once you grab a bush, just head straight back to your base instead of sticking around for extra loot. It’s not worth risking the plant.
If those three are empty, bounce and come back later. The jewelry store is doable but a bit sketchier if you’re solo. You don’t want to get shot over a plant. That isn’t exactly the smartest business move. Also, bushes count as cargo, so don’t pull your gun while you’re carrying one or you’ll drop it. Cops can take it too if they catch you.
How to Grow Weed in ROB RUN
Just drop the Growing Bush on an empty Grow Table. You’ll see a clock above it while it’s growing and it switches to a check mark once it’s ready. Harvesting only takes a few seconds and gives you two to four Harvest Bags.
Take the bags to a Fence, the dollar-sign van in Looty Bay or the Sales Center, then grab your cash off the counter right away. If nothing’s growing, double-check that you actually put a bush on the table.
After you harvest, the same bush just starts growing again on its own at the same rarity, so you don’t need to swap it out.
Grow Room Profits and Harvest Prices
Grow Room money in ROB RUN comes down to the rarity of your bushes and how many Harvest Bags you pull from them. You can also just sell the bushes straight to a Smuggler if you’d rather skip the farming. Here’s how the prices stack up.
| Rarity | Growing Bush | Mature Bush | Harvest Bag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | $20,000 | $30,000 | $4,000 |
| Epic | $30,000 | $45,000 | $6,000 |
| Legendary | $40,000 | $60,000 | $8,000 |
Six Uncommon bushes on one table can pull in somewhere between $48k and $96k a harvest. That means you’re looking at about four to seven full cycles just to make back the $320k you spent on the room and first table. That’s assuming you already have all six bushes planted and that’s before factoring in the plot or what you might lose to a raid.
Higher Notoriety bumps up what the Fence pays and some settlement bonuses can give you extra bags. Still, don’t plan on any set hourly income.
Best Grow Table Upgrades in ROB RUN
You can speed up weed production in ROB RUN with three Grow Table upgrades. Here’s a quick breakdown of the modules.
| Upgrade | Growth Speed | Research Cost | Purchase Cost | Required Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fan | +12% | $100,000 | $25,000 | Tier I |
| Water Pump | +14% | $200,000 | $70,000 | Tier II |
| UV Lamp | +24% | $500,000 | $250,000 | Tier III |
Each upgrade uses its own slot, so you can stick all three on the same table if you want. The Fan is the cheapest upgrade to start with. The Water Pump and UV Lamp both need higher settlement tiers and cost a lot more to unlock and buy.
Is the Grow Room in ROB RUN Worth It?
Yes, it’s worth it if you want a steady source of income without constantly robbing stores. The real value comes from repeat harvests, but you’ll need enough time before the next wipe to make back your investment. Focus on getting more plants and tables if you want steady harvest income. Skip the optional buildings for now.
You can sell a Growing Bush straight to a Smuggler if you need cash right away, but then you lose all the future harvests it would’ve given you. Keep in mind the Federal Raid hits every seven days and wipes your base and cash, so don’t dump a ton of money into upgrades right before a reset.
