The grower’s
guide.
Plant a seed. Tend your bud. Don’t turn the island into long-term parking.
Welcome to Highscore: shared islands, real WAX NFTs, and a garden that rewards showing up. Here’s how to grow, what it costs, and what happens when you forget your plant exists.
Current Season 0 rules · Updated October 15, 2026. Older crops may retain their saved schedule; follow the countdown on your plant.
A wallet, a seed, and a little attention.
Connect WAX using Anchor or WAX Cloud Wallet through the site’s top-right login. You need a Weed Seed NFT from theonlineinn, template 909603. You do not need to own an island.
The original seed sale has ended. Find seeds on the secondary market or through an eligible island-owner weekly claim. Secondary prices and availability are set by sellers.
Find Weed Seeds ↗Keep 420 THC available for harvesting unless you are the island’s fee recipient. There is no additional WAX or THC planting charge; planting uses your Seed NFT.
Your seed’s journey into the garden.
Choose a seed and approve its transfer to vault.inn. The seed is the input for your crop; it is deposited, not merely checked for ownership. A random eligible shared island is assigned. You cannot choose the island.
You may have one active crop per wallet per island, and grow across multiple different eligible islands.
WAX needs irreversible confirmation, which can take several minutes. Follow your seed’s progress card: confirming, queued if needed, then planted. Each deposited seed has its own tracking card.
A temporary reservation protects space during confirmation. If confirmation arrives late or no eligible space remains, confirmed deposited seeds wait for a plot. Older eligible confirmed deposits receive priority. Queued seeds’ growing timers start only when planted.
Do not transfer another seed because the first is pending. Check the saved transaction and progress card. The blockchain is taking its time; it is not asking for a second seed as a tip.
One clock. Twelve hours from planting.
| Action | Deadline | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Plant | Hour 0 | The twelve-hour clock starts immediately when planted, not while queued. |
| Poo / fertilize | Before hour 4 | Available as soon as planted. Finish poo, then water straight away in the same visit. |
| Water | Before hour 8 | Available immediately after poo; no waiting required. Both care games can be finished right after planting. The original clock never resets. |
| Bud ready | Hour 12 | Both care games must be complete. One optional skip can finish the remaining grow time. |
No care action pauses, restarts, or extends the planting clock. Missing poo or watering expires the crop and releases the plot; one Weed Seed from vault.inn is queued for return. Seeds cannot stay parked on an island.
How the tending games work
Hold mouse, touch, or Space to raise pressure; release to lower it. Keep the indicator in the green target zone to finish. Failed attempts can be retried before the care deadline. Opening a minigame at the last second does not count as completing it.
Already-growing older crops retain their saved timings. Follow the countdown shown on each plant. Both care and harvest deadlines missed after this update qualify for seed returns. Older crops retain their saved growing and harvest timing; follow the displayed deadline.
Skip a block. Then harvest your Bud.
| Action | Cost | Recipient |
|---|---|---|
| Plant | One Seed NFT | vault.inn |
| Skip remaining twelve-hour grow time | 420 THC | Island fee recipient shown at checkout |
| Harvest | 420 THC | Island fee recipient shown at checkout |
| Clear replant cooldown | 100 THC | vault.inn |
| Unlock one extra island plot | 5,000 THC | vault.inn |
The first paid waiting cycle is removed. For new crops, finish poo and watering, then optionally skip the remainder of the single twelve-hour clock. A skip cannot replace either care game.
One optional skip costs 420 THC. Add the normal 420 THC harvest fee and the total is 840 THC, excluding your seed’s purchase price, replant fees, or upgrades.
If you are the island’s fee recipient, skipping and harvesting your own crop are free. Required minigames still apply.
A skip after both care games brings harvest readiness forward and starts the 24-hour harvest window immediately. Check the deadline shown on your plant.
Harvest within 24 hours
Once ready, complete harvest within 24 hours. Verified harvesting delivers a Bud NFT, template 909602, to your wallet. Opening the checkout alone does not complete harvest.
Payments can take several minutes to verify. Follow the saved payment panel and transaction link. If a stage ends naturally while a skip payment confirms, an eligible payment may become a saved credit. Check the saved payment; do not pay again.
Same island? Give it four hours.
After confirmed harvest, your wallet has a four-hour replant cooldown on that island. Wait, or pay 100 THC to vault.inn to clear the remaining wait. Island owners follow this rule too.
You can still use another eligible island. Clearing a cooldown does not reserve a spot or choose your next island; random assignment and availability still apply.
XP, Bud Bucks, and daily claims.
Each successfully watered crop earns 5 XP and 5 Bud Bucks. You start at Level 1 and gain a level every 100 XP. Bud Bucks are in-game currency, separate from WAX and THC.
Keep your daily streak
Day 1 gives 25 XP. Days 2–6 give 50 XP each. Day 7 gives 100 XP: 375 XP across a complete seven-day cycle. Missing a day resets the streak. Claims use the Eastern Time calendar day, and the next cycle starts at Day 1.
Daily claims give XP, not Bud Bucks.
Level 2 unlocks the store
Spend 10 Bud Bucks for a random NFT from vault.inn, subject to available inventory and delivery availability. Let any saved pending delivery finish before starting another purchase.
Harvests earn your share of the pool.
The 5,000 WAX Season 0 pool is allocated proportionally by eligible successfully harvested Buds. Daily XP, levels, and watering alone do not qualify you for WAX.
If the final eligible total were 100 Buds and you harvested 10, your 10% share would be approximately 500 WAX. Actual allocations depend on the final eligible harvest totals.
The unified leaderboard shows harvests and progression. Estimates can change until results are locked. Admins choose when to close the season and approve payouts. No payout date has been announced; rewards are not sent automatically after each harvest.
View Season 0 leaderboard →Your island, shared growing space.
There are ten island NFTs. The initial drop and Mint 1 auction have sold out. Islands can be found on the secondary market.
Find islands ↗Unlock up to six plots
Each island starts with one plot. Owners can unlock five additional spots for 5,000 THC per spot, paid to vault.inn. Upgrades stay attached to the island NFT.
THC income
Island fee recipients receive other growers’ eligible harvest and optional stage-skip fees. The site tracks lifetime confirmed earnings. Ownership creates an opportunity to earn fees, not a guarantee of constant occupancy or income.
Six seeds every seven days
Claim six Weed Seed NFTs per eligible island using the weekly claim button. This is not an automatic airdrop. The timer is attached to the island NFT, so transferring it does not reset the claim. Missed weeks do not accumulate.
The island must be in your wallet to claim. Follow pending deliveries through the saved claim status rather than creating duplicate claims.
More than a pot on a plot.
Verified Land Owners get their Discord role and 10 extra WAXPortal giveaway entries. Bud holders get the Bud role and 5 extra entries. Use the Discord holder-verification process.
Join The Online Inn Discord ↗Discord plot alerts can report when the gardens become full and when space opens after being full. Alerts are snapshots, not reservations. Confirmed waiting seeds get priority, and your wallet must still be eligible for that island.
Beyond Season 0
The fuller game is planned to include 12 plant types, multiple strains, a future seed-pack benefit for Bud holders, and a larger Season 1 leaderboard. Special stoner-art airdrops for Bud holders are planned roughly monthly.
These are future plans, separate from the live island-owner weekly seed claims. Check the roadmap for updates.
Before you blame the garden.
A seed is in my wallet but missing from the selector.
Use Seed missing? Find it by asset ID under Plant a seed. This reads WAX ownership directly and can find returned seeds even when the inventory index is delayed. An older growing crop does not block a seed that is actually back in your wallet. Unfinished planting reservations still stay locked.
My seed left my wallet, but there’s no plant.
Check its progress card. It may be confirming or waiting for an eligible plot. The growing clock starts when it is planted. Do not send another seed.
There’s an open spot, but I can’t plant.
You may already have a crop on that island, have a replant cooldown, or be behind previously confirmed waiting seeds.
I paid for a skip, but nothing changed.
Check the saved payment status and transaction link. Confirmation can take several minutes. A saved credit may be available. Do not pay again.
I own an island. Why does replanting cost 100 THC?
That payment clears the separate four-hour replant cooldown. Free owner skips and harvests do not remove it. You can also wait for the cooldown to end.
Can I leave a new crop to grow automatically?
Complete poo flinging and watering back-to-back as soon as planted, then leave your crop to grow until harvest. You do not need to return at hours 4 and 8: those are the latest completion deadlines, measured from planting. Neither care game resets the clock. Missed care releases the plot and queues your seed return.
Harvested seeds can grow again
Successfully harvested seeds stay in vault.inn and are not automatically returned. If a successfully harvested seed is later given or sold back to a player, its current holder can plant it again with a fresh seed transfer. Each grow has its own confirmation and harvest record. Island cooldowns still apply. Previously used seeds sent back manually or returned automatically after a missed care or harvest deadline can be planted again after delivery to a wallet and a fresh seed deposit. Once a Seed NFT is actually back in a player wallet, its holder may deposit it for a new crop immediately, even if the earlier crop is still on the board. The older crop keeps its timer, care progress, and harvest eligibility. Reusing the NFT releases only its planting key; it does not reset that older crop or bypass island availability. Each older crop still receives its own one-seed return if it expires; the return can use a different Seed NFT from vault.inn. Each new planting requires a fresh verified deposit.
Missed care? Your seed gets another chance.
- Poo must finish before hour four from planting.
- Watering unlocks immediately after poo and must finish before hour eight from planting.
- The twelve-hour grow clock starts at planting and never pauses or resets.
Missing poo or watering expires the crop, releases the plot, and queues one Weed Seed from vault.inn for return to its depositing wallet. No Bud is awarded. Returns use saved transactions and safe retries. If WAX, signing resources, or NFT delivery is unavailable, the return stays pending; the garden shows its status and transaction link.
A returned seed can be planted again after it arrives in a wallet, using a fresh deposit and the normal availability rules. Previous forfeitures are not automatically refunded.
Harvest deadlines still apply
Complete harvest within 24 hours of readiness. Missing this harvest deadline also queues a Weed Seed from vault.inn for return and releases the plot. Both care and harvest misses return a Weed Seed from vault.inn; THC fees are not refunded. Saved valid submitted payments remain recoverable; do not pay twice.
