Smallest plant / highest yielding strain?

Please let me know your thoughts about what the smallest highest yielding strain might be...

I´m a balcony grower and looking for something of little growth (at least vertically) with good yield... I need something that won't grow more than 50-60 centimeters tall.

Any suggestions?

Big Laughing - Dr Greenthumb: My pheno vegges slow to 18" and finishes at 24" every time. The lower branches circle the plant and form small colas themselves, the center cola can be huge.

This one has a while to go and was transplanted into a 5 gallon bucket at flower from a 20 oz cup, poor root development reduced yield, the center cola is usually twice this diameter.

Taiga (left) and Big Laughing. The Taiga is an autoflower (Power Plant cross) and ended up 33". The Big Laughing has a consistant stretch of 50%, it's 24". To the right is a Super Strawberry Diesel 4 cola that I'm growing horizontal.

Or change your growing style and grow these:


The two Kali Mist together outside the cage. The 4 cola was vegged in promix to 14" and ended up 38". Very dense buds. The single cola is the DWC, fluffy buds but crusty with trichs, from 5" in veg to 47". On the 4 cola plant, the stem in the middle - you can see the dark green bamboo stick I used as a splint. The colas are dense and heavy and two of the stems almost snapped.



Like this:

I'm harvesting the large Kali Mist in the morning, 91 days (13 weeks) of flower, down from 18 weeks in soilless my first grow. Different growing style, Fox Farm Solubles, and keeping the plant healthier. I'm chopping in the morning and will hang/bag/jar for as long as possible before getting into the bud.

It smells heavenly. Spice, not a bit of marijuana. An iced whitish green hue with the green of the buds reflecting through the cloudy trichomes. The harvest window was fast, it seemed to go from clear to 1/3 amber within a few days. Very, very easy plant to grow, tolerant of grower mistakes - letting it wilt, drowning it, that kind of thing. Big producer, this plant should give 3+ liters of cured bud, could be grown in 16" x 16" and is 14" tall at the highest cola (above the bucket rim). The tallest colas themselves are 18", 19" & 24" but they're bent horizontal part way up the colas. Kali Mist has always been a big producer for me, of the kindest possible bud.

Auto AK is finished in 70 days from seed gets about 2 ft tall and can yield up to 3 oz.

I've heard EasyRyder (Lowrider combined with AK 47) is the best yield for size. Some people say that the auto-AK has reduced potency (Which would make sense). If you want one that has good potency, and decent yield, I'd check out DieselRyder.

Remember though, AK and Diesel plants tend to REALLY stink (Though I think the AK has a cherry pheno, so if you're lucky you might get that). If you want a non-smelling option, I've heard great things about the SS#1(Short Stuff -- Short stuff seeds); It's supposed to have good yield and be fairy odorless; on top of that, of course, they don't get big. I recommend looking at the Lowryder and Short Stuff seeds -- Both of them have plants that fit into your category.

Hope this helps.

Nirvana's short rider has two distinct phenos from my growing/reading experience. The Sativa pheno gets big fast. The Indica Pheno stays true to it's name.

Nice simple stoney smoke. If you want munchies, it will give you that. If you want to sing and dance, you can do that too. Flexible, nice taste, kinda lemon-like on the exhale.

Not a huge yield though. Cheap, easy, and quick. Grows quick, finishes quick.

Hope this helps.

I will probably buy more SR seeds, but keep them as back-up in case something more expensive doesn't work-out.

thats the bad thing about small set-ups you want to keep it small but have a regular yield! you cant have your cake and eat it to! i vote auto ak-47 it is "supposed" to be the highest yielding auto! i just ordered Lowryder's purple jems myself

Anybody tried Nirvana's Short Rider????
Yes. I liked it, and it came out great despite growing interruptions from marital issues. I'd order it again, but this next time, I'm going to order the auto AK's for more yield. There is a trade-off though; the AK's grow taller, and is not as stealthy.

A nice stone-the Short Riders. It starts off a little edgy as your heart rate picks up, but then a nice ride on the way down. I bongsmilie it last night watching the Olympics, and really felt happy and high. See below pics:
