A Schedule 1 product sells for its base price scaled by the multipliers of its effects, and the effects come from the ingredients you add and the order you add them. That makes the best mix a search problem with a definite answer. The tables below are the result of that search for every base, computed from the game’s own rules.
How best is decided
Profit per unit is the score:
sell price = round( base price × (1 + Σ effect multipliers) ) profit = sell price − base cost per unit − ingredient cost
The search tries every ingredient at each step, applies its transformation rules to the effects the mix already has, keeps the cheapest way to reach each set of effects, and extends the best candidates one ingredient at a time. A mix holds at most 8 effects, so sequences run up to eight ingredients. Base costs are per unit of product: $3 for OG Kush, $25.50 for Cocaine.
Best mix per base
| Base | Recipe | Sell | Cost | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | Banana → Gasoline → Paracetamol → Cuke → Mega Bean → Battery → Banana → Cuke | $171 | $34 | $137 |
| Sour Diesel | Cuke → Paracetamol → Gasoline → Cuke → Mega Bean → Battery → Iodine → Motor Oil | $171 | $44.50 | $126.50 |
| Green Crack | Paracetamol → Banana → Gasoline → Cuke → Mega Bean → Battery → Banana → Cuke | $171 | $35 | $136 |
| Grandaddy Purple | Paracetamol → Banana → Gasoline → Cuke → Mega Bean → Battery → Banana → Cuke | $165 | $35.50 | $129.50 |
| Cocaine | Motor Oil → Cuke → Paracetamol → Gasoline → Cuke → Horse Semen → Battery → Mega Bean | $735 | $67.50 | $667.50 |
| Meth | Banana → Cuke → Paracetamol → Gasoline → Cuke → Battery → Horse Semen → Mega Bean | $340 | $52 | $288 |
| Shrooms | Banana → Cuke → Paracetamol → Gasoline → Cuke → Battery → Horse Semen → Mega Bean | $316 | $50.50 | $265.50 |
The effects each of those produces:
| Base | Effects |
|---|---|
| OG Kush | Tropic-Thunder, Zombifying, Glowing, Bright-Eyed, Jennerising, Anti-Gravity, Cyclopean, Thought-Provoking |
| Sour Diesel | Tropic-Thunder, Cyclopean, Glowing, Zombifying, Bright-Eyed, Thought-Provoking, Jennerising, Anti-Gravity |
| Green Crack | Tropic-Thunder, Zombifying, Glowing, Bright-Eyed, Jennerising, Anti-Gravity, Cyclopean, Thought-Provoking |
| Grandaddy Purple | Sedating, Tropic-Thunder, Zombifying, Glowing, Bright-Eyed, Anti-Gravity, Cyclopean, Thought-Provoking |
| Cocaine | Anti-Gravity, Tropic-Thunder, Long-Faced, Zombifying, Bright-Eyed, Cyclopean, Glowing, Foggy |
| Meth | Tropic-Thunder, Zombifying, Bright-Eyed, Electrifying, Long-Faced, Cyclopean, Glowing, Foggy |
| Shrooms | Tropic-Thunder, Zombifying, Bright-Eyed, Electrifying, Long-Faced, Cyclopean, Glowing, Foggy |
The strain recipes converge on the same core: Gasoline, Paracetamol, Cuke, Mega Bean and Battery, with Banana, Iodine or Motor Oil around them. The three $35 strains all reach $171, or $165 for Grandaddy Purple, whose starting Sedating effect takes a slot. Cocaine, Meth and Shrooms start with no effects and the same ingredients carry them to eight.
Three-ingredient mixes
Early on, eight-step recipes are out of reach. These are the most profitable mixes using three ingredients or fewer.
| Base | Recipe | Effects | Sell | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | Cuke → Viagor → Mega Bean | Tropic-Thunder, Cyclopean, Glowing, Foggy | $100 | $84 |
| Sour Diesel | Iodine → Viagor → Horse Semen | Jennerising, Tropic-Thunder, Electrifying, Long-Faced | $102 | $77.50 |
| Green Crack | Banana → Horse Semen → Iodine | Electrifying, Long-Faced, Thought-Provoking, Jennerising | $101 | $78 |
| Grandaddy Purple | Cuke → Viagor → Mega Bean | Sedating, Tropic-Thunder, Cyclopean, Foggy | $92 | $74.50 |
| Cocaine | Viagor → Addy → Horse Semen | Tropic-Thunder, Electrifying, Long-Faced | $372 | $324.50 |
| Meth | Cuke → Viagor → Mega Bean | Tropic-Thunder, Cyclopean, Foggy | $167 | $140 |
| Shrooms | Cuke → Viagor → Mega Bean | Tropic-Thunder, Cyclopean, Foggy | $155 | $129.50 |
Cuke, Viagor and Mega Bean on a strain is the recurring answer: $13 of ingredients on a $3 bud for a $100 sale on OG Kush. Cocaine does better with Viagor, Addy and Horse Semen, which reach Tropic-Thunder, Electrifying and Long-Faced for a $372 sale.
Profit by ingredient count
| Base | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | $57 | $72 | $84 | $93 | $105 | $117 | $133 | $137 |
| Sour Diesel | $53.50 | $65.50 | $77.50 | $89.50 | $101.50 | $113.50 | $125.50 | $126.50 |
| Green Crack | $56 | $68 | $78 | $92 | $105 | $116 | $126 | $136 |
| Grandaddy Purple | $51.50 | $62.50 | $74.50 | $87.50 | $99.50 | $112.50 | $125.50 | $129.50 |
| Cocaine | $193.50 | $259.50 | $324.50 | $395.50 | $460.50 | $523.50 | $598.50 | $667.50 |
| Meth | $84 | $112 | $140 | $172 | $200 | $228 | $260 | $288 |
| Shrooms | $78.50 | $103.50 | $129.50 | $158.50 | $184.50 | $210.50 | $239.50 | $265.50 |
Each extra ingredient adds $9 to $16 of profit on a strain and $63 to $75 on Cocaine. The step from seven to eight is the smallest on three of the four strains, because the eighth effect has to displace a low-multiplier one rather than fill an empty slot. The best mixes page shows the same ladder with every recipe.
The effects that matter
The highest multipliers are Shrinking (0.60), Zombifying (0.58), Cyclopean (0.56), Anti-Gravity (0.54), Long-Faced (0.52) and Electrifying (0.50). Only Long-Faced is added directly, by Horse Semen. The rest exist only as transformations, which is why the best recipes are built from cheap ingredients whose rules turn ordinary effects into those. The effects list has every multiplier and every ingredient that produces or removes each effect.
Using a recipe
- Open any recipe above in the Mix Calculator (opens in new tab) to see the effect changes at each step. The OG Kush best mix is prefilled here (opens in new tab).
- A customer who wants particular effects does not need the most expensive mix. The Reverse Calculator (opens in new tab) finds the shortest recipe for a set of effects, and the customer list has what each one asks for.
- Best Mixes (opens in new tab) on schedule1.app is recomputed from the rules whenever the data changes, so it stays ahead of this table.
Questions
- What is the best mix in Schedule 1?
- By profit per unit, Cocaine: Motor Oil → Cuke → Paracetamol → Gasoline → Cuke → Horse Semen → Battery → Mega Bean sells for $735 against $67.50 of base and ingredients, $667.50 profit. Among the strains, OG Kush tops out at $137 with Banana → Gasoline → Paracetamol → Cuke → Mega Bean → Battery → Banana → Cuke.
- What is the best OG Kush mix?
- Banana → Gasoline → Paracetamol → Cuke → Mega Bean → Battery → Banana → Cuke, which sells for $171 with 8 effects. The three-ingredient version, Cuke → Viagor → Mega Bean, sells for $100.
- What is the best Cocaine mix?
- Motor Oil → Cuke → Paracetamol → Gasoline → Cuke → Horse Semen → Battery → Mega Bean sells for $735, $667.50 profit. The short version is Viagor → Addy → Horse Semen at $372.
- How is the best mix calculated?
- By searching ingredient sequences with the game's own transformation rules, scoring each result by sell price minus the cost of the base and the ingredients, and keeping the most profitable sequence at every length up to the eight-effect cap. The Best Mixes (opens in new tab) page runs the same search.
- Why does ingredient order matter?
- Each ingredient transforms the effects already in the mix before adding its own, so the same ingredients in a different order can end with different effects. The mixing guide shows the same two ingredients giving two prices.
