Wanted: Fem seeds, max 8 weeks bloom, high yield

I'm looking for what probably thousands of growers are looking for :)
A strain that needs up to 8 weeks of flowering and that nevertheless has a really high yield.

So now I am looking for feminized seeds that meet those conditions.
The descriptions of the various seed banks are incorrect.
A lot of blablabla and claims that just are untrue.

Hence my question to the honorable gentlemen here:
Who knows from experience which strains only need 8 weeks of flowering and guarantee a high harvest?

Then I can order the seeds and start experimenting.
Thank you in advance.

There is no guarantee when growing any strain. It's grower dependent. Just because someone else grew a strain that flowered in eight weeks and had a huge yield doesn't mean that you'll grow the same strain and get the same results. If you want a faster flowering strain look at and indica or indica dominant. Yield is dependent on how well you can grow.

@Useful Seeds Blueberries and Chocolate

Blueberry hashplant X chocolate diesel

Mine finished at 8 weeks, one grower had a Pheno that finished almost a week earlier

Good yielder and very nice smoke.

$60.00 for 10 feminized seeds. 9/10 germinated and grew to harvest

I am growing out 3 strains selected for this exact purpose right now. Remains to be seen but my experience thus far is the longer flowering stuff yielded more per sqft canopy than shorter flowering stuff I've grown.
Any ten weeker with good amount of indica has been by far bigger than any eight weeker ive ever had but also a bigger plant i felt :-)

I have plans to do a perpetual (have some idea stuck in my head :p )
To make that work as I designed it now, it would be great to find a strain that really only needs 8 weeks of 12/12 and still has a high yield.

Perhaps it is looking for the holy grail :oops:

Ah, I think as xtsho pointed out, there are more factors to this than you realize. Your grow space could produce different harvest times over a year due to seasonal changes on the same cuts.

I do have quite some experience with growing.
I am aware that different circumstances can lead to different blooming times and different yields.

In my room for example I grew Amnesia. Different mothers, different seasons. But I could always yield in the same time frame. Give and take 2 days perhaps. And the yield was almost always the same amount.
Except for the times I fucked up :)

A guy I know does Lemon Haze. From seeds. Every time.
It always takes him 9.5 to 10 weeks bloom.
His tent is 4 x 4 and he uses 500 Watt Led.
His yield is always above 900 grams. His highest yield till now was 960 grams (almost 34 ounces)
No popcorn, just hard, big buds.
This strain would be perfect, but 10 weeks is 2 weeks to long :)

Just looking for a fun project and that is why I am looking for a strain that needs 8 weeks of 12/12 and still yields very well.

Maybe Check out sweet seeds green poison or sad fast versions if you want a photo plant done in 8 weeks or less most plants take 8+ weeks to be properly ready i find but they are quick

That Green Poison strain looks very interesting!
Short, fruiy, above average yield.

Do you have experience with it yourself?

I am looking for a grow journal.

Other suggestions still more then welcome!

I would say double dipped strawberries by @Useful Seeds
It's a 9 to 10 wk strain but worth the extra week or 2.

I've ran it 3 times now. I'll get a few pics up later

Most purple punch cuts finish in 8 weeks. There are some heavy yielding Phenos but I’m not sure which ones they are. If you don’t want to get blasted and still function during the day, it’s a great strain.

Ive smoked plenty my mate grows it fairly regular but ive never ran it myself yet its on the to do list mate cos its a nice smoke and decent yield and fairly fast

I ran perpetual SOG for the last 10 years. I would suggest giving your self some wiggle room on your time frames. It gets tough to keep a really tight cycle going perfectly forever. I started with a 2 week plant rotation, but quickly realized that plants don't grow on a set date or time, sometimes the clones root slower, or the flowering plants take a little longer. So after a while I extended cycle to every 3 weeks which gave me some breathing room. I would much rather let the plants grow and finish properly then end up harvesting them early because of "the schedule". I don't even count weeks on flowering plants any more, there isn't much point unless I'm doing a tester run for a company or something. Otherwise I just harvest my plants when they are finished, and ignore the time.

I do agree that the amount of weeks of 12/12 is depending a lot on the grower and also on the phenotype.
But for example in the past I grew Top44. Always ready within 7 or 8 weeks (never in 44 days :) ) and was a good yielder.
Looking for something like that.

Sour bubble is supposed to be a 6-7 week strain but not fem. C99 is supposed to be fast. Most of mine are 9 weeks from flip
