in your experiance what is your top 3 indoor yeilders?big bud , northern lights, white shark

chronic also a good yielder, but saying that, its all down to the enviroment as you could grow any good yielding plant but if thats not up to scratch, then ya pissing in the wind

check out Critical Mass @ Mr nice seeds

hello, being a seed collector, and looking for new strains! does anybody know of any good strains with a really high yeild?

yea any kush vegged a long time, sea or screen style if you're after pure weight. NL / Big Bud / Chronic / The Hog are all top yielders.

K2 is brilliant moke and a amazin yielder

navana seeds do them

my biggest yielders i've grown so far are Kush and Northern lights

I got a good yield from my california orange bud, but supposedly big bud is (or was) one of the biggest yielders provided of course your environment is as it should be

what was the flowering time on the el nino?

really looking for a strain with at least 900gr per sq metre? anymore ideas?

900grams!! you'll be fucking lucky mate if you are a good grower you might get that with co2 dosing

What sort of lighting do/will you have as that's as key too getting large yields as genetics is?

Yep, to get those kind of figures per sq meter, you'll need to be using 1000w per sq meter, have enough ventilation to deal with the heat and have some experience under your belt. Personally, I think you're aiming too high, unless you're already experienced. Until you have the experience and have dialled your system in just right, you'll probably have to settle for no higher than 0.75g per watt, from a high yielding strain. That's actually a very respectable yield for most.

As for which strains to go for, the most productive strains are the ones that yield well but that also flower quickly. You don't want a heavy yielder that takes forever to finish. The faster it finishes, the more crops you can harvest per year. Neither yield alone nor speed alone are good indicators of productivity. It is the strains that have the best combination of both yield and speed that are the most productive in the long run. Amongst others, NL yields well and finishes quickly, for example. Although, personally I think that you should grow what you enjoy smoking the most, rather than focusing on weight. I'd take an oz of haze over 1.5 oz of high yield bud, any day of the week.

Origonal misty is a monster

1 square metre is around 9 square feet, a 1000 watter in a square meter is nearly 100watts per square foot. NO WAY are you gonna hit a g/watt with 100w per square foot. to hit a gram per watt you need optimum conditions, around 50watts per foot. over 80 watts per foot and any additional light goes unused, so efficiency drops, and thus g/watt drops. without co2 there's no way you'll get anything like 900g per square meter with any amount of light unluess you're growing massive trees outdoors, inside you wont get the light penetration to grow plants big enough as light lower down will be blocked off.

600g/meter is more of a realistic aim, and that's for an experienced grower. as the aim is to get 900g/meter without any mention of co2 i'd hazard a guess at not being all that experienced

who said anything about growing 900gr per sq meter. just a seed collecter loking for a seed that could produce this amount. i take it there isnt any thing out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

93w per sq ft, to be exact. Equivalent to about 85w per sq ft from a 600w, in terms of lux.



Who mentioned a gram per watt, besides yourself? If everything was perfect (CO2, TAG/biobucket/vertical, climate control), then 0.9gpw would be just about doable, if using the equivalent of 85w per sq ft. I'd say that 0.75gpw is more realistic. The vertical systems make better use of the higher w per sq ft.



Not quite. The efficiency just drops off significantly. I've seen a few diaries using 1000w per sq meter that yielded suprisingly high in terms of gpw. When the system is designed very well, with the addition of CO2, the plants can make use of the extra light efficiently.



I too suspect that he's inexperienced, although one shouldn't presume that he didn't have the use of CO2 in mind just because he didn't mention it. An experienced grower aiming for such high figures would have mentioned that they knew that an unconventionally high wattage would be required, aswel as CO2. With this in mind, we have rightfully suggested that he set his sights considerably lower. You mentioned 600g/meter and I mentioned a max of 0.75g per watt, which both seem reasonable in the circumstances.

Sensi big bud! and sensi skunk!

i did say without co2 several times. and said with co2 then 1g/watt is obviously very achievable. but as i said, he didn't mention co2, and if you're asking a question about yield, then if you're using co2 this would be a VERY significant factor. so no mention of it kinda suggests he aint thought of it, same for vertical growing.

"Not quite. The efficiency just drops off significantly"

i know this, should have said "may as well go unused" because it really is a significant drop if you aren't gassing the room

but anyway. i think the questions been answered somewhere along the way? any strain can yield high under the right circumstances, and for overall production you want a fast flowering strain alongside a high yielding strain

personally i've never gone for any of the strains marketed for high production, because whenever i've smoked em, they've been nothing special, and the differences in yield between em and other superior strains is never enough to justify the increase in yield. but as has been said, something like critical mass or northern lights (which turns out i have actually grown out and was a high yielder, so northern lights i guess )

Our advise would remain the same, regardless of that. Theoretically speaking, everything would have to be nearly perfect to get 900g per sq meter, whether you intend to try or not. I suggest that you use less exclamation marks next time, unless you wish to cause offense to people who are trying to help you.

Agreed, for the most part. Now that we've had our say, let's leave others to make their strain suggestions.
