Strains that can reach 5-10lb's

[smoothy]

Hi All
Wondering if anyone could recommend an outdoor strain that grown correctly could reach 5-10lb's. I'm used to growing indoors and i don't think my indoor strains are going to work. I know there are different factors involved but i'm looking for strains that have the potential to produce that yield. I did alot of research and am curious to what the pros say! Again, this is my first outdoor grow so go easy on me. I was thinking of SSSD -possibly?

All replies are respected and appreciated!

Every plant can reach those weights with the right environment and conditions, I'd suggest finding other attributes you find as important and go from there.

A lot of strains can reach that size OP, What Lat are you at? Depending on where you are you could be pretty limited or set.

Growing indoors compared to outdoors is like comparing oranges to apples! Similar but different. This is why i'm asking the pros. So your telling me that every plant has the potential to grow the 5-10 lb yields if all factors are right like environment, lighting, watering, nutrients and prunning etc. I read you can have all these factors but the strain itself has to be able to produce this yield aswell.

i'm trying skunk #1 this years outdoors. finished some indoors a few weeks ago and was VERY imprerssed with yeild and flowering time.

Sativa Doms yield more than Indica Doms. But sativas generaly take longer to harvest. Longer the plant has to grow, the more she will yield.

Does every plant have the potential to yield five? I gotta say no.
Some strains can't do five. Hell...some won't do even three.

Two that can are Jack Herrer and White Widow.

AK-47, Blue Dream, GDP,....I don't think kush's would do heavy yielding due to longer inter model lengths, but I could be wrong...ChemD also...ohh I'm growing UK Cheese outdoor and if my veg stage is indicative of the flowering their going to be monsters!

Good Luck!

I was always told that jack herer doesn't yield very good. Maybe my sources were wrong.

I have to agree, 2 years ago, we had all kinds of stuff go over 5. The only ones who didn't, got a 9.0pH spike for a day, but still survived. Some of what I can remember: UkCheese , C99 , NL X Blue, Orange Skunk x2, Agent Orange, couple of Sour D hybirdis. Wish I could go back to those days. Super fun grow, kind of a back to the KISS method but done big in 32 gallon pots into the ground and irrigation. Other than that, the sun just gave us love that summer.

Genetics play a part, but large pots with good soil will get you where you need to go.

Herer yields. Its just is a super haze.Sometimes they need 100+ days inside and some people harvest in November outside.
Other than that, it yields.

I've run 3 phenos of Jack Herer, all of them could hit 5-10lb. I ran a Sativa-dominant Herer last year and it got massive. At harvest, it was at least 15' in diameter and about 12'. I never weighed it but there was well over 5lb.

The right White Widow, in the right conditions would pull that.I'm running a few Blue Venom this year and they're extremely vigorous plants. The pheno I have just has a huge structure. I have a 2.5' plant with a stem that's as wide as a golf ball at the base. I expect this will yield big.

Thanx guys-been hearing alot of GOOD things about Blue Dream and Green Crack but can't get them here on the eastcoat-clone only!

I would tend to favor NorcalBob's opinion that any strain can produce 5-10 lb plants. But, there are certainly strains that are better suited to the outdoor environment than indoor. Like Oldhaole said, Sativa dominant is an important factor to consider. IMO, early finishing Sativa dominant strains, like Blue Dream, and AK-47, are the true champions of outdoor yeilds. If you can score a clone, sweet, it may be a winner. Take cuttings from it when it's big enough, then flower it out. That will allow you to see how it yields before dedicating it to your outdoor plans. If you'd rather buy seeds of one of these strains, then you'll have some work ahead of you. You'll need to selectively grow 50 plus seeds from each strain to find the one or two that display all of the phenotypes (ie-Yield, finish time, aroma, bud density, bud/leaf ratio, overall bag appeal, resistance, and vigor ) you seek. This is especially true of any strain that isn't a Land Race strain. Land race strains will produce very similar results from plant to plant. Strains like Blue Dream, AK 47, White Widow, ect have been crossed with various strains, which, generally result in unstable genetics. It's true. They ALL possess genetics that can produce the 10lb monster you seek, but only a few seeds out of 50 will produce the 10lb monster you seek. This instability manifests itself as a plants Phenotypes. AK 47 may grow one plant that has a pine aroma, and another plant that has a strawberry aroma. That's a phenotype. Finish times and yeilds are pheno's too. Not all Blue Dream, for example, yield large and finish quick. But there are BD clones out there that have the Sativa-like, large growth characteristic/pheno, necessary to support 10lbs of bud, as well as the Indica-like early finish pheno/characteristic. I would advise you to 50 plus seeds of each strain you decide upon, and cycle them indoor. Discard the plants that don't veg well, and then take cuttings of each before throwing them into flower. Take notes on each plant performance in key areas (as mentioned above): Keep the cuttings taken from the champion plants and discard the rest. You now have genetics that will grow the plants you desire.

Anything else is just a roll of the dice, IMHO, of course.

Delicious-thats exactly what i do for indoors. Just thought i get a jump on a few good genetic strains for outdoors, when posting this. When i started researching about yields from outdoors, most people i read only yield 1-2lbs at most. I consider myself a very good
dedicated indoor grower and think i have the potential to raise some fine little girls into some WILF milfs -Lol. I have most of what i need imo-to be a successful outdoor grower of a 5-10lber- PLUS i can get the Best help and advice right here from my friends who been their and done that! I'm just stuck because the strains i really what, i don't have because they only come in clones only!!!

 

[DeliciousBuds]

Hey Smoothie, do people pull off 5-10 lbers on the East coast, lol? I didn't know the climate over there was suitable for those kinds of plants. It's definitely a plus that you are an experienced indoor grower. Growing the girls big and healthy indoor will maximize their potential for the outdoor season. Anyway, I've personally seen or grown 5 lb plus Trainwreck, White Warlock, Ak-47, Ice, WiIIiams Wonder, Jack 47 (Jack Herrer x AK 47), Blue Dream, Lemon Haze, Blue Berry, Jedi, Skunk #1, and Peach.

In my experiences:
The AK-47's bud was a little airy/fluffy but was high quality and very easy to grow, mid-late oct finish.

Williams Wonder produces excellent product, finishes about oct 15th, but seems susceptible to PM.

Lemon Haze, White Warlock and Blue dream grow huge, but take longer to finish, late october.

Jedi and Peach bud is big and hard, but average quality.

Hope that helps and good luck!

very appropriate thread imo smoothy. i'm near the east coast at 36 n lat and i've grown outdoors for 20+ years. se hot humid conditions coupled with mj unfriendly soil ( tubs filled with supersoil mixes won't pass the aireal surveillance )conditions coupled with neo-nazi leo oppression makes it a tough go. then, there's the outdoor rippers lusting for your young virgins! . growing out over hyped seed strains that have low potency and low hardiness in this environment is a true bitch.

i've tried quite a few store-bought strains designated for outside and i've run some uncompressed mex bag seed as well.

from my personal experience you want later flowering plants genetics that still finish in time for your lat. the early flower types go in last to prevent premature flowering and finish first. you lose lots of prime time veg growth with early flowering genetics.

if you use seedlings instead of clones you can get an extra couple of weeks veg growth.

biggest tip that i can't emphasize enough is transplant established seedlings ( cs females for me) with a deep root-ball at the earliest time possible without inducing premature flowering. this requires some experience to get the timing down.

as for strains that yield your requirements i am sold on ace seeds. golden tigers can get huge and they have the bud denisty to weigh. fluffy buds don't weigh. dense buds weigh out. the problem is that dense buds coming in during excessive hot humid conditions are prone to excessive bud rod blights. so, you want strains again that come in at the end of the growing season in order to maximize growth, yield and after bud rot summer conditions have passed.

if you are growing outdoors check out landrace sativas and perhaps making your own sat/indica hybrids to adjust flowering times, yields, dankness, outdoor hardiness (no hardy, no buds, no yield) and most importantly what type of potency and high you are looking for. keep reading the outdoor threads here at icmag.

plenty of strains can get big. getting large yields of quality product in your specific outdoor environment is not easy to sincerely answer in terms of " which clone strain".
