What is the best Sour Diesel mix in Schedule 1?

Mega Bean → Chili → Battery → Iodine → Addy → Viagor → Horse Semen, stacked on the buds' initial Refreshing effect. The seven paid effects add +298% and Refreshing adds +14%, taking a $35 bud to $144 per unit. Ingredients cost $52; mixing profit is $57 per unit in v0.4.7.

What's the cheapest early-game Sour Diesel mix?

Banana, Cuke and Viagor — $8 of ingredients at Street Rat/Hoodlum rank. The transformation chain carries Refreshing's value forward and sells at $79, banking $36 of mixing profit per bud. It is the lowest-cost profitable mix of any named strain.

Does ingredient order matter for Sour Diesel?

Not for this exact recipe — the effects stack additively and the 8-slot list never overflows. The listed order (cheap effects first, +52% Horse Semen last) is insurance: it keeps the price curve readable and protects the expensive effects if a future patch re-introduces transformations or overflow behavior.

Which customers buy Sour Diesel mixes?

The same list that buys any mixed weed — everyone, at volume. What changes with the mix is deal size: $144 per unit against $35 plain, with 100% addictiveness keeping reorders tight. As with all weed deals, compare every offer to the list price; at full addiction there is no reason to take a discount.

Best Sour Diesel Mix in Schedule 1

Sour Diesel lists at $35 like every weed strain and starts with Refreshing (+14% base value) — a middle-of-the-road initial effect that permanently takes one of the 8 effect slots. That makes the best Sour Diesel mix a 7-ingredient recipe, and the +14% head start slightly beats OG Kush's Calming at the same ingredient cost.

Banana, Cuke, Horse Semen, Mega Bean, Viagor, Iodine and Motor Oil chain transformations through Refreshing (Banana converts it to Thought-Provoking first), selling the bud at $167 for $38 of ingredients — $94 of mixing profit per unit. Per dollar of ingredient cost that is the second-best weed margin in the game, behind only Granddaddy Purple.
