Starfruit, it can even be better for profit than ancient fruit if you're growing it fast enough - in 9 or 8 days (a harvest every 8 or 7 if accounting for constant replanting).

Otherwise I'd just use something like a berry crop since you don't have artisan

As for iridium mining, your best bet is skull cavern in the top left of the desert. It's a continuation of the mines but has no elevator, requiring you to start from level 1 every time you want to mine. Since more and better ores (more iridium) spawn as you go deeper, it prioritizes descending over meticulous mining.

Therefore you want to be as fast as possible, in more ways than one. Speed buffs, explosives, a fast attacking weapon, lots of food, and staircases or stone to craft them as you descend.

If you want any more tips feel free to search for advice threads here on the forums, there are a bunch of great resources for starting off in skull cavern.

oh ok i will search for some starter tips
cuz the guides on yt say u need like a million (overexageration) staircases and a million bombs and desert warp totems and i dont got that kinda money
also most guides need iridium to get iridium its crazy

The trick is to start small, you'll get practice doing those smaller runs anyway, so it's only a win, even if you get less iridium than you want straight off the bat.

You can get far more if you're processing too, which is where the single harvest crops shine, otherwise the profit margins are low enough that most multiharvest crops are just plain better in the greenhouse

Dehydrators are still great, over 2x profit when accounting for artisan
