sativa yeilds?

[sativa121]

I have recently gone into the flowering stage at 5 weeks old from germination. i am growing Thai-Tanic which is almost 100% sativa. what sort of yeild per plant do you get with a sativa when you start flowering when its about 14 imches tall?? i,ve heard sativa,s have low yeilds, can anyone help at all. would be very much appreciated! cheers!

sativa plants will strech alot, and i've read somewhere that sativas have higher yeilds. that is why commercial growers often use them. alough, sativas need alot more light to reach their prime.

sativa`s are lower yielders than indica`s. they usually have fewer bud sites than indica`s, and take alot longer to flower and mature. the longer you veg. it, the more you`ll get. you have at least 3 more months of flowering before you will be able to consider harvesting.
i hope you have the patience because the buzz from a sativa is much more cerebral,motivating, makes you think and do.

cheers notanovice thats why i chose the breed, i prefer a cerebral high. thanks again

Indicas ae simply percieved as being high yielding due to their rapid turnover of bud (and a good bud/leaves ratio)-you can have several harvests a year. Sativas need atleast 8 months to mature fully-what do you think will produce greater yields-an eight foot sativa or a four foot indica?

Check out breeds such as old mother sativa which is often grown in Australia, grows 12 feet tall and yields several pounds of pud-a lot more than a single indica plant ever could.

Indica/sativa hybrids are even better however, producing better yields than either two species alone.

Which strain is considered a good Indica/Sativa hybrid if you are looking to yield a lot of pot?

[notanovice]

if you are growing indoors,most indoor growers dont have the option of growing a 12 foot sativa. we are talking indoor yeilds here, as to which an indica would be better choice for indoors for higher yield. i know that sativa`s have huge yields OUTDOORS.

I stand corrected, sorry didn't read that bit. A very good indica/sativa hybrid is Northern Lights x Haze. Won a lot of cannabis cup awards, meant to be very potent (Northern lights and Haze are two top indica and sativa strains by themselves).
