Note: This guide covers content from Schedule 1, a satirical video game set in a fictional world. All items, recipes, and references are entirely made up and exist only in the game. Please don’t try any of this in real life.

Not all of the stuff you grow in Schedule 1 is created equal. Some are easy and cheap to produce but barely sell. Others take a bit of effort and resources but bring in massive profits per unit. If you’re trying to figure out which strains are actually worth growing, here’s a breakdown of the best ones in the game right now.

The Triple Dollar Batch (Green C)

Sell Price: $187 base, can sell up to $250 per unit
Seed Base: Regular green seed (not purple)
Recipe:

Chili
Chili
Mouthwash
Paracetamol
Iodine
Banana
Horseradish

This is the most profitable strain in the game. It takes several steps and a decent amount of additives, but you get a batch that NPCs go wild for. They’ll regularly offer over market price, especially if they’re desperate. This stuff is strong, fast-moving, and great for anyone trying to scale up quickly.

Tip: Batch it in groups of 20 and package it cleanly—sells even better when you keep it organized.

Sweet Fruit

Sell Price: ~$185 base, up to $200+ with counteroffers
Recipe:

Paracetamol
Cucumber
Paracetamol
Gasoline
Cucumber
Mega Bean
Battery

This mix turns the OG stuff into an anti-gravity alien escape kit, and it’s hilarious. You get all the core effects: Weird side effects include floatiness and mild Smurfification. It sells fast and gives your character a built-in eject button when the cops show up.

Tip: Great for early-game scaling. Dirt cheap ingredients, solid margins, and you can upsell easily through DMs.

Max Fruit (Granddaddy Perp)

Sell Price: ~$160
Recipe:

Chili (x2)
Mouthwash
Banana
Iodine
Horseradish

Purple seed isn’t as profitable as Green, but Max Fruit is the best mix you’ll squeeze out of it. Good effects, decent repeat demand, and a steady stream of buyers who like the more “sedating” type. Strong mid-game option once you’re stocked on ingredients.

Gorilla Strain

Sell Price: Around $140 to $160 per unit
Key Additives: Paracetamol and Iodine
This is a solid mid-game strain. It’s easier to make than the triple dollar stuff and doesn’t drain your additive supply as fast. If you want good returns without micromanaging too much, this is a reliable go-to.

Purple Strain (Basic but Reliable)

Sell Price: $80 to $100 per unit
The purple version of the original seed is what most people start with. It’s not fancy, but it grows quick and doesn’t require much setup. It’s a good pick while you’re still getting your employee automation running or building up resources.

Chill Strain

Best for low-effort, background growing.
This is more of a filler strain. It won’t earn you massive profits, but if your botanist is just standing around and you don’t want to waste time, this is better than leaving your pots empty.

Final Blurb

If you’re aiming for top dollar in Schedule 1, the triple dollar strain is your best bet. It takes time, but the returns are unmatched. Gorilla is a great middle-ground for regular sales, and purple’s still a strong early-game fallback. Don’t waste time on low-tier batches unless you’re just trying to fill shelves.

Always test new recipes, track NPC reactions, and save your best batches for big buyers. You never know when Keith or Kathy will throw $250 at you for a single jar of your finest.
