Not everything you grow in Schedule 1 is equally profitable. Some crops are easy and cheap to cultivate but hardly sell, while others require more effort and resources but yield huge profits per unit. If you’re wondering which strains are actually worth your time, here’s a breakdown of the best ones in the game right now.
Gorilla Strain
- Sell Price: Approximately $140–$160 per unit
- Key Additives: Paracetamol, Iodine
A strong mid-game option, Gorilla Strain is simpler to produce than the high-end varieties and won’t deplete your additive stock as quickly. If you’re looking for solid profits without excessive micromanagement, this is a dependable choice.
Triple Dollar Strain
- Sell Price: $187 base, can go up to $250 per unit
- Seed Base: Regular green seed (not purple)
- Recipe:
- Chili
- Chili
- Mouthwash
- Paracetamol
- Iodine
- Banana
- Horseradish
The most profitable strain in the game, Triple Dollar requires multiple steps and a fair amount of additives, but the payoff is huge. NPCs love it and will often pay above market price—especially when desperate. It’s potent, fast-selling, and perfect for players looking to scale up quickly.
Note: Process it in batches of 20 and keep it neatly packaged—organized stock tends to sell even better.
Chill Strain
- Best For: Low-effort, passive growing
This is more of a filler strain—it won’t bring in huge profits, but it’s a decent option when your botanist has nothing else to do. If you don’t want to waste time or leave your pots empty, Chill Strain is a simple, hands-off choice.
Purple Strain (Basic but Reliable)
- Sell Price: $80–$100 per unit
The purple variant of the original seed is where most players begin. It’s not flashy, but it grows fast and requires minimal setup. A solid choice while you’re setting up employee automation or stockpiling resources.
Conclusion: If you’re looking to maximize profits in Schedule 1, Triple Dollar is the way to go—it takes effort, but the payout is unbeatable. Gorilla Strain offers a solid balance for steady sales, while Purple remains a reliable early-game option. Avoid low-tier batches unless you’re just stocking shelves.
Always experiment with new recipes, monitor NPC reactions, and save premium batches for high-paying buyers. You never know when Keith or Kathy might drop $250 on a single jar of your best product.
