high yielding strains. What's your pick?

[Aeroknow]

Of course big bud was your biggest yielder if i switched to growing bigbud only I would probably triple my yield but at what cost lol

There were some pretty good phenos to find in a pack of big bud, but no way could I get away with it nowadays here in Ca, not since prob like 2005? lol.

We first got big bud when my buddies dad went to amsterdam in ‘92 and brought some beans back. I grew that strain, few different phenos, from ‘92 to around 2002. Some of my buddies grew it even longer

Oh yeah, that was a good one. When the Big Book of Buds came out, i picked me up a copy and original misty was one of the strains i had to get. Picked some big yielding strains. And ordered off heavens stairway. Nirvana’s Ice was the biggest but the original misty was badass too. Also got bigbud(again lol) and a couple others i can’t remember right now. I was dating a chick, almost married her, named Misty at the time.

Def couldn’t get away with growing them type older strains anymore but i am curious how much I could get yieldwise if i were to grow them these days with double ended lights lol.

Yeah I heard alot of people having big yields with nirvanas ICE strain 3 or 4 years back. I wanted to grow big bud just to see what i could get under a scrog at the time. Off memory it was about 18 ozs? (Over a pound) Under a 600w hps. In just over a square metre. (Dosing co2) and I know environment fluctuated a bit so could of been better. but what a kick seeing those buds explode in such a short timeframe!

My buddy and I found a kick ass pheno of nirvanas ice. The thing could withstand temps above 90 and never molded even in 60-70% humidity. Was frosty and tasted good. My buddy ran it for years.

The Ice pheno I kept put out solid colas. Easy to trim, frosty, straight smelled like gasoline. Looked nothing like the shitty photo on big book of buds.

Exactly bro. That pic in big book of buds was shitty in comparison. I heard nirvana changed the ice, lost genetics for it or something but I heard its not the same anymore.

Not sure if thats true but Im thinking I might do a nirvana pheno hunt in the future. Ive had some good phenos from them in the early 2000s.

I’ve often thought about it but never did. Pick up some nirvana ice, find a killer pheno again and then cross with something modern day fire. Never did though

That sucks if their ice isn’t the same as their old ice though.

Would nirvana have a strain already crossed with the old ice? Like possibly iced grapefruit? May still be able to track down the old ice from nirvana through something they crossed it with and grow a bunch of those seeds and look for the most ice dominant pheno maybe??

I grew that Ice and Misty by Nirvana in the early 2000's good yield and smoke, but not as good as some newer crosses.
Best yields have been Blue Dream Crosses, that Biodiesel cross by Greenpoint - Snake Oil, Swamp Boys Horace, Dinafem Critical +.
The Blue Dream Crosses were the more potent IMO

Very informative! Thanks heaps for that Bakersfield!! Yep definitely getting blue dream or a blue dream cross!

I'd recommend Dream Catcher by Greenpoint, for a Blue Dream cross. Pheno's are all over the place with varying degrees of Blue Dream and Chem influence from the Stardawg. Some big yields can be pulled, as well.

That brings me back. I had a pheno of ice that was similar to an Og or Chem with long clusters of solid popcorn buds. This girl reeked of str8 turpentine or pine and kerosene. I swear it was ahead of it's time. Some people didn't like it because it was so different.

Sounds like it was killer!
When og hit the scene, still to this day not even sure what that first cut I had was, i grew it and it yielded considerably less than most other strains i was rockin. That can be ok because it was some fucking killer smoke, but problem was nobody paid extra for it lol. Back then was much different then now. Outdoor and indoor went for the same price lol.

My most recent and best yielding strain/cut, up until my house and indoor grow burned down in the Camp Fire, was wedding cake. Easy to trim too.

I should of said ahead of it's time for Alaska , I didn't see Og Kush until around 2010. Same here too, people don't wanna pay for quality.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that about your house and grow. From the pics and reports I heard a lot of people lost their life.
Hopefully insurance has you covered.

Bro.. pick a fuckin avi and stick with it!! lol jp with you brother . On a completely unrelated note lol I meant to ask does Amazon charge more to ship it to you almost Russians?

So if you have Prime it's free shipping, but some Prime vendors will refuse to ship to an Alaska Address and many Prime vendors have the cost of shipping figured into their outrageous prices.
Outside of Amazon
Prices for shipping are based on overnight air mail through UPS and Fed Ex or Priority with USPS, but it can still take a week to get it.
Example
I can order a $350 dollar light from Arizona and shipping is $150
