Your opinion of a high yielding indoor plant?

[williboy]

Two guys here in NorCal are seeing the "good leds" be very productive. They got rid of the duct work, extra cooling, noise, vibrations, high power bill, one luxury problem though more aroma OMG.

again being LEd's there not going to produce super large yields as for light imprint , to the op best strains i found for maximum yields are kush strains Purple kush huge yielder, hybrid strains like pure power plant is another massive yielder most dutch comercial growers prefer
Here 12 plant 3k c02 expected yields 8 - 9 pounds dry

I love seeing old threads get resurrected! Seems the original question was "But i want YOUR opinion. What is the highest yielding cannabis plant?", which morphed into set up and other factors affecting yield.. So here's what I've experienced and learned over the last few years:

Yield is a function of plant size, regardless of the strain.. small plants, little bud. Big plants, lots of bud. You can do things to control this.. I personally like to grow in standard commercial nursery pots using soilless mix. Hands down the least hassle. In my set-up, I use 2' x 4' carts with a trellis assembly of the same dimension built in. I vary the height of the trellis depending on what strain I'm growing. What works here for me is: 2 x #5 or 1 x #7 containers in the cart.. the #7 will allow for one big assed plant, which I normally use for sativa dominant plants.. I always prune (generally FIM) and get them all to branch making multiple bud sites and fill up the trellis. This typically results in somewhere around 12 oz dry per cart.. sometime more, sometimes less.. I also have 6.5' of vertical head room to the lights.. Top yield for me was +15oz off of a single plant in a #7. This was a Barney's G13 Haze that had several buds over 16" long.. so much for the description of a medium height plant..

Basically it's all dependent on having good space, light, ventilation, proper temp/humidity, and ultimately knowing what you're doing. Skilled growers can usually get a good yield out of most good genetics..

Regarding top yielder's - I think it's hybrids.. best of both worlds, sativa height and indica weight.

Peace,

I suppose this could be, but I really question 8-9 lbs under 3k.. even for a commercial op. Just sayin'

Here's pictures of the carts. The light footprint is 4' W x 8' L and is covered by 2 x 600W and 2 x t-5 (4' - 8 tube) providing about 2000W in total. This provides room for 6 plants in the size containers I use. 3 carts.. On a good run, with a consistent canopy height I could expect 2.25 lbs from 6 plants, working out to about .5 gram per watt. Makes me more skeptical of the 8-9 lbs noted previously, unless it grows like kudzu.

The other picture is the G13 Haze I mentioned..

my previous grow was 4.75 pounds 5 plants 2k lighting in heat of summer this grow is 5 x 15 scrog 1800ppm of co2 with over 600 bud sites and over 350 that will be the size like this one on 5 gallon pail its all about making bud there buddy that 45 gram bud there wet is over 1/2 oz dry imagine 600 buds like that

[DrFever]

Farmer i realize i am new on the block but some new guys can be amazing growers with horticultural back grounds there is approx 660 buds sites forgot to mention grown in 34 gallon totes

Now that's some crazy shit! I imagine a lot of work too.. I go for less work these days and have gone back to a single room for both veg/flower, keeping it simple. What strain is that in the pic? The bud by the bucket? Nice.

strain is PPP i vegged 5 weeks trained them then flipped only hard part is getting under table to clean all sucker buds off weekly other then that it works like a charm pretty much most efficient way i found per sq foot yield

Looking good !! A Lot of work . Happy farming
