I know noobies come by here every day looking for the holy grail of marijuana strains, but that isn't what I'm looking for. I understand that quality is a trade off, but I smoke quite a bit, and I am a strong believer that if grown right it will still be fantastic weed anyway.
I'm planning on growing TWO plants in a 4'x4' space under a 600watt HPS using SCROG. So basically, I'm looking for a very high yielder that responds well to growing large, indoors, and lends itself to scrog.
So far I've been looking at:
Mr. Nice - Critical Mass: Heath has had a great harvest growing these things in to trees (74oz off of two plants) and I'd be ecstatic to get 1/3 of his success in my setup. Only problem? I can't find them feminized, this may be a deal breaker because I'd have to go through the added hassle of rolling the dice and then maintaining a mother. Up-side is that the seeds are very cheap.
Sensi Seeds - Big Bud: A classic, high yielding plant. Very expensive (compared to Critical mass) at 130 bucks for a pack of 10, and still can't find feminized. I don't see many people growing it these days, but it would be the obvious answer if it wasn't 3x the price of Critical Mass, which claims to be an improved Big Bud. Still can't throw such a tried and proven plant off the table though.
Green House Seeds - Hawaiian Snow Feminized: At 600g/sqm in sog, this plant seems to be on the higher yielding end of cannabis strains. And with a claimed 24%THC level, probably the strongest mentioned so far. The name really appeals to me as well... "Hawaiian Snow".... Just sound like good weed. I know a lot of users complain about GH seeds, but they've been populating the Cannabis Cup winner list for the past decade, including Hawaiian Snow (2003 1st place). This strain is also feminized, which appeals to me as I would like to get growing right away and take clones as I go.
And finnally...
G13 Labs - Pineapple Express Feminized: Not notably a large yielder, but I saw a member here get great results (I believe a 13oz harvest) off of one plant in half the growing space I intend to use, using the SCROG method I intend to use, and the same hydroponic system. Using pot head math... 2x the space 2x the light 2x the plants = 2x the weed. A 26oz harvest would bring me to tears (I wouldn't be sad with a 13 oz off of two plants either). High name appeal, reputable quality.
That said, I'd like your advice RUI. Any personal experiences with these strains? Suggestions for a high yielder in my setup? Which one do you think I should go with?
