Need help picking high yielding strain

I want to do a room 6x10 with 3 600 watt lights running, I am going to grow in 5gal pots with soil. Maybe 20 plants or so. My goal is to pull 4lbs at the end of the run. I've grown a bit outdoors but this will be my first time around indoors. Have any advise on strains that are potent but nice yielding also? Any advise to help me achieve my goal would be greatly appreciated. thanks bro

big bud! or just look at attitude that will tell u about what the yield is and with that much light and 20 plants you should end up with alot more then 4 pounds lol

Nirvana blackberry is in my flower room right now. Its quite a heavy yielder. Another good one would be wonder woman or ice. Both of those also from nirvana. I had bad luck with super lemon haze and a couple other supossed to be "big yielders" that were not. I trust nirvana over a lot of other companies now. Just my opinion... Pineapple express is supposed to be a great yielder too. Big buddha cheese as well.

also nirvana wonderwoman its a high yielding skunk

sativa leaning genetics over indica.

most kushes will be a "no" in the yield dept.

switching my lineup to sativa leaning strains with indica qualities & finish times as i write.

Just finishing a white widow x big bud, a monster yield looks likely! Big Bud's the one for yield imo, but word is that some potency is lost because of it (which sounds sensible; you don't get something for nothing i guess) Check my journal in a week or so if you want to see how much I harvested (just the one plant) and how the smoke is/was/going to be...

4 pounds cured is a very good harvest for 3x600 watters. It doesn't matter how many plants you have.

20 plants in 5 gallon buckets= 100 gallons of soil, way too many plants way too much soil. You'd have to veg for 3+ months just to get the optimum use out of all that soil, by that time 3 plants per light would be to many and the light penetration wouldn't be sufficient enough to get through those huge plants. Plus it's good to be root bound by the fourth week of flower so your plants use energy to create bud not roots. I'd grow 12 plants vegged for a month in 3 gallon buckets or 9 plants vegged for 3+ months in 5 gallon buckets and scrog'ed. 20x 5 gallon buckets is more like 4000 watt grow using 1000 watters for light penetration.

Agree with above. Imo just do 12 in five gallon buckets. Also, dont count your chickens befor they hatch. DONT MAKE PLANS WITH THE MONEY YOU PLAN TO GET FROM THEM. Chose a sativa strain. They may take longer, but the yield follows with it. I like hazes. If you can get clones, try blue dream. Also...i dont want to sound like im talking shit, but I dont think you are going to get four pounds off three six hundreds if its your first indoor...or even fifth. I would say expext between two and 3 1/4 there I go counting chickens though....

I'll be using 5 gal nursery pots, they come out to 3.75US Gal, so do you think 20 would still be a good number? I plan to LST them, I've had good results outdoors doing this technique. I'd be happy with 3 elbows this go around, just trying to get all the advise I can to hopefully make this a possibility. I might or might not have access to clones, but I need to find something that flowers between 8-10 weeks. I'm planning a 1.5 month veg. Thanks guys!

You could pull those kind of #'s in a good vertical setup. There was one on here where the guy just grew 3 trees and didn't even bother to do many things that would increase his yield, pulled 4lbs10oz I believe....

No, I still think 20 is too much. At the most 18 but you will need to flowerthem smaller. I would still advise doing 12. It gives them a chance to fill out more and compete less. Why compete when we want them to put their energy into buds. If you are planning on vedging that long you deffinately dont wamt 20.
This reminds me of someone describing how they would drive a racetrack,"so I would take that turn at like 80, hit thw gas and skid around it, then put it in 5th gear and hit the nitros. Not too much because I want to conserve it for later..." Then you ask the guy for a ride to the corner store and he says, "oh, I dont know how to drive yet."

My point is there is a LOT that you are just going to have to play it by ear with, kind of hard to plan out on with the limited experience. I am not meaning to be rude though im sure it comes across that way. Indoors it has less to do with number of plants than it does with light intensity, size of rootzone, and amount of lumens absorbed vs lost. If you have 5x rootsize, it doenst matter if its 5 or 2 plants, it will ultimately produce the same amount. Give or take.

When you grow too many too close, it fucking sucks. I like doing 4 plants under a 600, max plants six. They just come out nicer.

gotta agree with phil especialy if you dont have a lot of indoor experience then you gotta move it once you get it people are picky these days they want conniseur product at dirt cheap prices depending on your location theyre damn near giving away outdoor stuff & some of it is pretty damn good good luck on your venture i associate 4 lb. grows with 2 4x8 e & f tubs & 4 1000w. lights & a strain like maybe northern lights or maybe dinafem critical plus

Dinafems blue widow has done great for me outdoors, I'll check into the critical, thanks man.

Interesting, I've never heard it was good for a plant to become root bound that far before finishing, I always assumed the buds wouldn't fill in properly if they ran out of dirt early.

My only suggestion would be shorter flowering time plants. Filling a room with plants that yield well and finish in 49 days compared to plants that finish in 60-65 days. You can get in 1-2 more harvests per year. I would much rather empty a room and start the next cycle than wait for a 60+ day finisher.

I have a chemdog that finishes in 49 days and is covered in crystals, and is also nice and dense, so the weight and bag appeal is there too. Vegged for 1.5 - 2 months I have yielded 7oz off one plant. Even if you only average 5oz per plant and do 12 in your room... that's 60 oz (3.75 pounds) you could easily hit the 4 pound mark an earlier poster mentioned. Unfortunately the chemdog I have was given to me as a clone and I don't know the breeder it came from or I'd let you know.

I agree with Phil about 4 plants under each light, that's how I'm doing it too. If the cops show up, 12 plants sounds better than 20 plants. If you take a bunch of clones shortly before flipping your room if you have a 8 week finisher that should end up with about 10 days for the clones to root, then vegging for a month and a half while your bloom room finishes, then you have nice size plants ready to flip right as your bloom room finishes up.

my $.02

BTW if anyone has suggestions for a plant with little to no stretch, that finishes in less than 50 days with a great yield and uplifting (non couch-lock) high I'd love to hear about it I like my chemdog but it really kicks your ass, spaces you out more than I would like for daytime use.
