Mixing Mania Quest Step by Step
Go to Dan's Hardware (downtown) and buy a Mixing Station for $100. Place it in your apartment or Bungalow. You also need a Mixing Station Clipboard ($25) to configure the recipe.
You need: OG Kush (buy seeds from Albert at the motel, grow or buy directly), Cuke (sold at gas station or from Albert), Banana (sold at gas station or from Albert), Donut (sold at the convenience store near downtown). Total ingredient cost: ~$12.
Place OG Kush in the Mixing Station as the base ingredient. Then add Banana, then Cuke, then Donut, in that sequence. Each ingredient adds different property boosts. The order matters for the final strain value.
The finished product should be worth $68. Sell it to a customer for the quest completion reward. You also unlock the ability to create custom strains at your Mixing Station permanently.

Custom Strain Mixing Tips
| Tip | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Base ingredient determines strain type | OG Kush base = Kush-type, Green Crack base = Sativa-type |
| Add ingredients by increasing value | Lower-value ingredients first, higher-value last for max total |
| 4 ingredients is the sweet spot | 3-ingredient mixes are weak, 5+ can overflow the station |
| Donut is a wild card | Adds random property boosts -- use it as the final ingredient |
| Horse Semen + Mega Bean = profit combo | These two together add the highest value multiplier |
When to Start Mixing Custom Strains
Custom strain mixing becomes profitable once you have a Mixing Station and access to 4+ ingredient types. The best time to start is at Hustler rank when you have unlocked Albert (motel) for mid-tier seeds.
Early game (Hustler-Peddler): Stick to 4-ingredient OG Kush mixes. The Triple Dollar recipe ($120 profit) funds your Bungalow purchase faster than selling raw product.
Mid game (Dealer-Hoodlum): Transition to Horse Semen + Mega Bean combos. The Gorilla Mix ($150+) pays for employee wages while you save for the Barn.
Late game (Kingpin): Cocaine 9-mix blows all custom strains out of the water at $717 net per unit. Use custom mixing only for niche effects or specific customer requests.
