Starting with a big yeilder

So obviously grower experience and environment are the biggest thing but starting with big" genetics must help somewhat.
So my question is
What seed do I buy

do you know your cannabis that you smoke?
like do you like the sativa high ceribral or the indica high heavy and body high?

if you just want a big yealder, look for seeds with xxl or xl, which means extra large or extra extra large meaning harvests

Apex, grape diamonds and a few others from ethos are heavy on yield and smell and taste wonderful. Heavy harvest are one thing but I like them to smell and taste good as well.

Keep in mind that “big” yielding strains tend to be kinda leafy. Some of the critical mass strains I’ve run really do pack on weight but they are not all that special in the flavor department. Just like an average afghani with chunky buds. A lot of O.G. strains are like this too. None of these are “bad” just meh imo
You will need patience to veg long enough and train them out to grow big ass buds but almost any strain can be made to yield max if given the right amount of time and training. I found that my favorite strains tend to have dense compact buds with exotic flavors. Sour diesel comes to mind; not the greatest yielder but just can’t stop myself from growing and/or crossing w/it.
Grape diamonds? Yes...I 2nd that one... never ran it myself but got to try the smoke quite recently. Exquisite. I suggest trying a tried and true strain ...maybe something like HSO Blue Dream for your first time out. Seeds are found most anywhere plus the bud structure of BD usually yields nicely. I like those Christmas tree shaped spires of cola bud. And the flavor is distinct; never get tired of it.

pure ak is a high yielder.

Dutch passion critical orange punch big yielder easy to grow but as mentioned above limited taste and profile

My biggest yielder was Red Diesel, hands down. As far as potency, it wasn't very impressive.

You can grow any plan large and get a big yield. What you like is way more important than buying a strain on the basis that it will yield alot.

That comes down to skill and time.

But if the variables are 1.the grower 2. The environment and 3. The genetics starting with the right genetics is 1 part of the bigger equation

My last big strain was Useful's orange cookies x chocolate diesel. His chocolate sunset was big too but he discontinued it

is the original ak a true 7 week flower from flip to harvest?

Nothing is 7 weeks from flip to flower and anyone who says otherwise is full of bullshit.

At best that’s only 6 weeks of actual flower due to transition.

Don’t get fooled by flowering times.

Gemtree, I have some of Useful's orange cookies x chocolate diesel, I was thinking of popping Slippery Susan, Milk Monkey or maybe Dracarys - you think I should start with the Orange Cookies x Choc. Diesel instead maybe? Looking for a good water hash yielding mom with a good terp profile, I currently run BOG's Sour Strawberry and have been getting phenomenal yields - I run everything WPFF and then press rosin fm the bubble hash... unfortunately this pheno is nothing but GAS as far as terps but is fire and on a dried flower press yields as much as 29-30% so it's hard to get away from lol

Not sure haven't grown those others. Oc x cd has killer orange terps and frosts up pretty good. Not dense but not fluffy bud so would be good for blasting

I know bro. But just wondering what the famed ak-47 actually runs for.

Given it’s mostly sativa leaning I’d say 12-14 weeks under optimal conditions.

No, took 65 days.

I ran a Gelato from Nirvana that blew my mind. I don't recall the total yield, but it was outstanding. Nice dense nugs and beautiful colas. a nice easy grow too.

AKs are fast, but I would consider the yield large only related to the flowering time. Decent, but not really huge. They would jump out of the gate, but eventually get dwarfed by longer flowering strains.

While I disagree, a long sativa probably isnt going to be an enjoyable experience for a beginner.

Yeild alone is not yeild imo. Yeild divide by square feet divide by number of days from seed to harvest is yeild.

This is very true one could be a month into the 2nd grow from clone while another is just finishing a long flowering sativa but we could be just assuming how long as we do not know what strain he means. The longer you go the more expensive the grow
