What's the best highest yielding strain?

Hi all,

My friend is getting ready to start his first grow in a 8ftx8ftx8ft walk in closet. He will be using 2 x1000 watt hps to flower and using soil.

Anyways he was wondering what is a good strain to grow for the most possible yield? particularly for his set up and soil. He wants to have quality bud but wants to yield the most possible and use his room to maximum potential.

Thanks again!

Some high yielding strains are northern lights and big bud. They are both pretty low odor as well.

Himalayan Gold . . . mines starting week 8 of 12/12 with 6 GIANT (18"-24") colas, with no special treatment. Can't touch two hand fingertips around them either.

thanks for the quick replies

any others?

I have a similar size plot to you 2.5/2.5/2.5. i only use 2 600 hps and 2 200watt envirolites hanging low!. i guess 2 1000watt would give off too much heat without GOOD ventilation? Still, it gives off around the same luminems with less heat, but as a rule , the mre light the better! Anyway i recently grew 30, pot of gold, look her up, i yielded about 5oz each plant, of Bone dry, very sticky, very strong bud!you do the math its easy to grow too!!

how many of those do you think my friend could successfully squeeze into that grow space (8ftx8ftx8ft) without if being to crowded during the grow. i see they branch out quite a bit. Thanks again

as far as my research went.... i guess Chronic gives you the best quality and the best yield

Very nicely done. Yes it will be ventilated very well. A can100 fan and carbon filter which moves about 700 cfm as an exhaust fan. Also around a 200-300 cfm inline fan connected to the air cooled reflector hoods of both lights to keep them cool. Plus 2 or 3 oscillating friends for optimum airflow. How does that sound? Any advice on number of plants and also what size pots did u have them in. Very very impressive though. well done and thanks for your help again!

Did i read that right though? 30 plants at an average of 5 oz a plant. Thats 150 oz which is like right over 9 p's. that is amazing especially off of just 2x600 watts. how long have you been growing man?

Why thankyou! I started messing around around 5 years ago, i have been using my current plot for the past 2 years, I've used the same amount of light the the same amount/type of neuts that i use on every grow, just that one plant gave the biggest yield by far! smells like chemicals, like, pine disinfectant, but fruity a little sour! Im gutted i never cloned it, but i didn't have the cloning room then! And you commented on my 600's. I also use 2 200watt envirolite they give off the same as a 400 hps! less heat tho! i also use red lights to flower

do you have to cool the envirolites? I may go with the same lights you have after seeing your results. do you have a journal or anything online?

Was thinking about telling my friend to use ur exact light set up. It might be a bit more expensive but could get them closer to the plants and also would cost less power wise. where did u purchase your lights? do you have any suggestions? thanks again

yeh i think the northen lights the guy i knew grew absolutly stunk the whole house out lol so low oder not so sure and that was during flower and when he was drying them :S it was 10x lol

Northern lights Yeild:400/500(Sea of Green on one m2)
Big bud Yield:500 gr/m2
Kalichakra Yield: 500-550 gr/m2
Celtic stone Yeild:400-600 gr/m2
Chronic Yeild:up to 600 gr/m2 under 600w
Kc 42 Yeild:very high,not shown
Pot of gold Yeild:570 to 650 gr/m2
Theyres more,but thats from what ive read up on.And it seems like you need a greenhouse to get full yeild.Not saying you do,but thats what I read.

Genetics: Malana (Himalayan domestic charas strain)
Variety: Mostly sativa.
Harvest: end October to mid-November at 30O North.
Height: 2-3 meters in natural outdoor environment.
Yield: 1 to 2kg of dried flowers in natural outdoor environment.
Aroma: Sickly sweet - overripe fruit and mango, Indian milk confectionery, cat-piss.
Characteristics: hardy, vigorous strain with indica wide leaved characteristics, intensely resinous


This famous North Indian charas sativa grows on the high sun-drenched ridges of Himachal Pradesh around the famed village of Malana (renowned for its hand-rubbed top quality charas). Intensely aromatic flowering tips gleam with trichomes and virtually drip with resin. Plants reach heights of over 3 metres and are vigorous and prolifically productive. First-rub charas is produced from these plants with intense care, and is soft and easily molded by warm hands. Aromas are reminiscent of overripe fruit and mango, and are sickly sweet like traditional Indian milk confectionary. Consumed in moderation this strain gives a bright, cerebral buzz which is very sociable and giddy; larger quantities produce a highly mind-altering psychedelic effect.

This is the Champagne of the cannabis resin market.

I ran up hindu skunk my last run as well as 3 previous crops. It's o.k. Not bad for production. I pulled on average 2.5oz. (dried and manicured) using 2-1000's (HPS) on ebb and flo tables. I veg'd for 2.5 wks. No topping / cropping. It does grow easy. You should "lolly-pop" and get all pop corn off bottom. Here is some evidence I mean pics.

Scann- "Anyway i recently grew 30, pot of gold, look her up, i yielded about 5oz each plant". 9+ elbows off 1600watts +-. Am I reading this right? Are you serious?

DH

was that "The Flying Dutchman Pot of Gold"? http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/flying-dutchmen-seeds/flying-dutchmen-seeds-regular/the-flying-dutchmen-pot-of-gold/prod_249.html

Dude 9 lbs from 2 600's and your envirolights seems waaaay too good to be true... not saying it is tho. I want those results! Tell me about your set up? Soil, Hydro, Aero? What typrd of nutes? How tall were they when you put em into flower? How tall did they end up? I don't have a whole lot of vertical space but am lookin for a high yielding, potent strain. How long did you flower for?

yeah scan.. nice work

interested too

Not to jump sides, but I have 30 under 2x1000W HPS. Check my journal for proof. It can be done. very easily.
