High Yielding Medical Strains?

I am looking for good quality genetics with strong yields and I'm sick of getting local cuts. I am willing to order some seeds or try to get pointed in the right direction from anyone who has comments or ideas! I am focused on quality, and would like to choose strains that can yield well and are still considered top shelf!
 
No offense bro but if you're only getting an elbow per thou off the ECSD maybe it's not the strain? Have you grown out that strain more than once to get her dialed? It's considered one of the best yeilding elites.
 
Hmm, I won't claim to know anything about high altitude farmin...well for yeilds and quality, you can't go wrong with AK47.
Casey Jones is supposedly a huge yeilder...SSH and SSSDH are big yeilders but quite sativa. Chem D is a great yeilder but I don't think you'll get that at the SB.

You know my advice ;)

Sweet Tooth #3 = 2 lbs+ per 1k light (hortilux HPS bulb) with big plants in 3 gal containers & CO2 enrichment.

That is just 16 plants x 2 oz+ per plant big top cola style spaced about 1 per square foot or so in a 4 x 4 to 4 x 5 area with good side reflection. This is using clones of course so everything is the same size & growth pattern so there is no crowding or weaker plants.

You can do this with a few other quality strains that are top cola dominant like LUI.

I have not done this in several years but trust me it works great. :canabis:

Yea, seems up in the mountains with the altitude, sativas are just fluffy and don't yield.

Not true my friend!

Go to Colombia's highlands and see how much they LOVE altitude.

Are 2,300 mts above sea level high enough???

You need Watts, and lots of them (MH bulbs recommended) to emulate high altitude light... 1000W MH hanged vertically.

Tie branches from the ceiling and let those Lumens loose!!!

Enter Kali Mist, SSH, Dutch Dragon or Mango Haze and you'll have plenty to go around.

All these strains have fine medical qualities and will fill many patients needs.

I'm running a "Medi-Bud" right now, and that thing is the heartiest plant I've seen in a while.

Casey Jones does yeild high. 6 girls got real close to an elbow. 2 of them did not yeild well because of heat, to close to light. If I would have done it right it would have been over an elbow. They grow fast & are very branchie. Great smell, taste, very sticky, & a nice high. I'm trying to get a good yeild from some sour kush this time. My last try did not yeild much, but was a real ass kicker high. It made me dumb as dirt, & I always wake up saying "what happened".

Hi, I'm local and have one I think will fit the bill. Snowcap. It's a big bud cross, but awesome taste and potency with a focused sativa high. The bud structure is like big bud, which means the yields could be pretty huge. I'll leave you a message.

Sounds like your best bet is to work on your skills. Seems like there is more room for improvement there, than in genetic. I mean otherwise, you ARE Beaster bound. Good luck. Peace GS

i used to live at high altitude (over 8k ft.) and my best yielders were ak47 (which seems to be a heavy cropper in any environment) and a big bud x skunk cross that was insane (huge colas the size of my forearm). if you're looking to buy seeds (which you said you were) i would definitely think about the AK, for one, it's definitely a huge yielder, but it's also a really easy strain to grow. it's not too needy or spindly or anything like that. and serious seeds has been around forever and i trust them.

The thing is my colas are all huge, I train, I top, and I veg 30+ days. My spacing on my buckets is 2ft on center. Usually 3-4 plants per light. My plants look like they will yield a lot, but when I hang em to dry, the nugs are light and fluffy. I don't have very high heat and I have good air flow. I'm also using CO2 enrichment. I would like to space them a bit tighter, but I'm afraid of using new clones that I'm not 100% sure are clean with that tight of spacing (medical state = PM, mites, etc). The ECSD looks big, fills out nice, but spacey fluffy bud at this altitude.

I have noticed through personal experience that when you use CO2 to the end, it prevents some strains from doing that last calyx swell. Perhaps this has something to do with it. Peace GS

3 - 4 plants per light sounds like you are growing more leaf than bud, you need more smaller plants. What kind of pruning are you doing if any? Are you trimming off the lower branches to focus growth & development on the tops?

What kind of nutes are you running?

I love 3-4 plants/light. Course mine are 6 foot plus. Peace GS
