In Schedule 1, the hit crime empire simulator, mastering the Schedule 1 Mixing Calculator is the key to dominating the drug trade. Whether you're a rookie grower or a seasoned kingpin, crafting profitable and high-demand mixes is essential for scaling your operation. This guide breaks down how to use the Schedule 1 Mixing Calculator, shares top recipes, and reveals strategies to maximize profits.
In Schedule 1, each customer has preferences when it comes to the products they consume. As you progress through the game, you'll soon find that you need to create your own blends to maximize profits and keep up with demand. This guide will help you understand the basics of the mixing system, including how to get started, available products and ingredients, and how to create profitable mixes.
Mixing Stations unlock when you reach Hoodlum I or when you start the Mixing Mania quest. In this mission, you'll be prompted to purchase a mixing table that will set you back $500 from Dan's Hardware Store, then the creative process can begin.
With the first mixer you get, you'll just need to add 1x Product (Strain) to 1x Mixer (Ingredients) to create new blends. What you use will impact the effects that each new strain has. For example, OG Kush and Cuke combined will create something with a Calming and Energizing effect.
Once you have ingredients and recipes, head to your Mixing Station and follow these steps:
Mastering these steps is essential for creating profitable blends that meet market demand while managing risk factors.
These are the base products that you can grow and sell, and will be unlocked as you progress through the main story missions. You'll unlock more products much later in the game, allowing you to create stronger substances.
| Name | Cost to Purchase | Suggested Asking Price | Addictiveness | Effects | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | $30 | $38 | 0% | Calming | Immediately |
| Sour Diesel | $35 | $40 | 10% | Refreshing | Street Rat IV |
| Green Crack | $40 | $43 | 34% | Energizing | Hoodlum II |
| Grandaddy Purple | $45 | $44 | 0% | Sedating | Hoodlum IV |
When you've unlocked the mixer, you'll need to purchase ingredients from the Gas Mart to combine with your plants. You'll start with 4 ingredients available immediately, and more will be unlocked as you earn XP and climb the ranks from Street Rat to Hustler. Each ingredient has its own effects and when paired with the right strain, can lead to the discovery of additional attributes.
Each ingredient in Schedule 1 affects your product's potency, addiction rate, and flavor profile. Key categories include:
For example, blending 60% cocaine + 30% sugar + 10% battery acid creates "Sweet Heat"—a high-demand mix with manageable risks.
In Schedule 1, ingredient effects are far more complicated than they appear on the surface. You may have noticed when looking at your customer contact list that some people have preferences like "Lethal" or "Electrifying," but these effects are nowhere to be seen in the ingredients above.
That's because there are some hidden ingredient effects that only appear when you add a specific ingredient, and certain ingredient effects are already present (or not) in the mix.
For example, when you use OG Kush in a recipe, it will usually create a Calming effect. However, when you add a Banana, the Calming effect is removed. Banana typically adds Gingeritis, so this will stay, but Calming will instead be replaced by Sneaky.
There are actually 34 different ingredient effects you can achieve from your mixes. So far, we've found that the best way to get the desired effect you're after is to work backwards from that specific one. Often, this leads to mixes with multiple ingredients. But for the more challenging ones to bring out, like Shrinking, you'll need to do this to achieve the effect. On the plus side, these strains usually sell for a much higher value.

For example, if you start with OG Kush and Banana, it creates the Grandaddy Diamond recipe, which sells for $50. If you put that back in the mixer and add another Banana, it goes from being a blend that just has Gingeritis and Sneaky effects to one that sells for $62 and has the following attributes:
You can repeat this cycle over and over to create blends. The goal should be to create one that has small costs but high profit, to build your empire in no time. Everything from how many ingredients you use to the order you add them in will affect the blend you get.
