HUGE yielding Kush

[smokestack23]

What is it?
I also posted at another farm..I mean forum.

I know it's been asked...heck I've asked it. I know it's hard to answer because...it depends on skill and...Kush just isnt generally a big yielder. BUT,
I also know that new strains hit the streets every day so maybe there's something new or some new info out there.

I had a single femmed Icekush bean but it didnt survive (if you want Kush to yield ANYTHING you have to have enough skill to keep it alive lol). It's description made it seem promising.

I've grown Kush a lot ...I did back in the mid/late '80s and a bit in the '90s (we called it chemo back then and also tiger indica) and then again last year (Burmese Kush). The Buku was awesome..so was the old stuff but neither were big yielders.
When my kid told me a few years ago that Kush was the big thing..he said because hiphop artists rapped about it, I told him right then that that was shitty cause Kush was a poor yielder. Well...he was right and unfortunately, strains evidently hadnt changed a WHOLE lot since before as far as Kush still being a relatively poor yielder.

SO farmers...assuming you're an expert grower with the PERFECT conditions and EVERYTHING is operating at the oprtimum,
what's the biggest yielding Kush strain whos beans are commercially available these days?

Thanks

I've been euro-fagging it up for over half a decade, the one thing I noticed about the North American scene since I got back is EVERYTHING is fucking kush haha.

Grab yourself a fat indica hybrid with a good high and give it a pretty name, because thats pretty much all everybody else did

commercial "kush" beans = waste of expert skill and perfect environment. don't fall for it. grow pumpkins.

ok so GHS claims they have this PURE kush that yields 900g/sqm using 1khps. well that sounds commercial. But yet commercially it sounds False marketing everywhere nowadays.

As for a good yielding kush - I would fk it and go with serious seeds Chronic. Not less popular, very interesting videogames type of high, EXTREMELY SWEET taste and smell. Commercially it's unarguably best strain ever due to the brand aswell as yield. also very stable beans

kush strains don't always yield poorly.... try to give them root space, they love it.

you could try camelot kush from dutch grown, it is a hybrid (bubba kush x c99) but it should still fit the bill and yield fairly well.

i grow some pre 98 bubba kush and i would label it a little below average yielder but with the right veg time and as stated above root space is a beg thing for these strains, they love allot of room, i vegged a bubba for about 8 to 10 weeks (cant exactly remember as she was my mother plant) and she was only in a 5 gal bucket and was pretty badly rootbound she yielded me 4 oz's dry i think it could have easily been 8 with larger pot but o well.

 

[smokestack23]

Hey thanks for all the great answers. Keep em coming.

 

[vorzh]

Yea i hear bubba yields well, and OG is not much of a yielder, but i picked up some stuff called diablo kush that was pure OG crossed with some indica hindu hybrid that supposedly yielded incredibly, but, the smoke stayed OG, which, of course, we all know and love

IF you're already rocking the expertise, take a year off of mass producing and breed us a high yielding kush!!

 

[jammie]

these are a couple of my ogkush. i'm in week 7. i use cold processed seaweed in both the rez and foliar, veg to 18-22", use 1k lights and always get 3-4 oz per plant

I got about 3 lbs off of a big Pre Whatever Bubba Kush, and it was short and didn't maximize my space. The buds were tight and heavy, contributing to the weight.

edit - added a picture to clarify the ounce/lb question below the thread is in my sig.

 

[jackiee]

try violater kush from barneys its a good smoke and a heavy yeilder. stay lucky

you mean 3 oz's??? cause dam if its 3 lbs i gotta be doing something seriously wrong lol.

 

[smokestack23]

Could be 3 elbows. That isn't THAT hard growing trees...of big yielding genetics. Well..it isn't EASY but isn't shocking.
Now 3 elbows from a Kush...THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Like I mentioned..I'm not that familiar with all the Kush strains. I ordered seeds back in the day from The Seed Bank (Nevil). IThey were HPxNL2 (I think NL2..coulda been 1?) and big skunk. I'm pretty sure there were some Kushes in that catalog but IIRC, it said they werent big yielders.
Then later I grew that Kush they were calling chemo and tiger indica. It was DEADLY but just grew solid nugs about the size of a small child's fist. It just wasnt feasible to grow ANY of that ..or the HP when the BS brought top $. That BS was SO wicked. It WAS old school stinky sticky skunk buds..the size of your leg. Seriously. It outyielded the HP and that old kush by like a factor of 10.

Anyway..now I'm hearing that they might stop Canadian patients from growing (as well as designated growers). I'm not trying to get beat-up but...
it makes sense to me..why are we allowed to grow our own controlled substance medicine? Can we grow coca? can we distill spirits? shrooms? poppies?..can we grow the good poppies? IDK can we collect their sap?..that's a different thread for a different site but ANYWAY...

My permit doesn't allow me to grow out any strains..well not at any pace at least..one plant at a time and maybe I'd find a great pheno of a great cross in ten years....but...I have done some crosses.

I pollinated some beautifully kushy Burmese Kushes last year with pollen from a hazeXcheese male. I'm just now growing a crop of the HxC and it's looking big..and fast.
Maybe there'll be something big and kushy in those beans I made but...one at a time??

So back to the law in Canada. As soon as I find out that the new law is eminent, I think I might switch to some breeding. If I'm lucky I'll have a year and my goal will be a big Kush.
I have quite a bit of wicked genetics actually. MIGHT even have a big kush lurking in those packs of BUKUxHAZE/CHEESE beans?

I also know how to use silver so fems will be no sweat. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it.

ANYWAY again...thanks for the great replies. Cant wait to find out if the OG was really 3zips.

PEACE

las vegas purple kush is no joke!
I got 12 zips off one plant that had more root aphids than u could ever imagine.
This was grown in a high flow tree machine. I dont think my coco girls will come close, not even in 32 gal trashcans.

 

[smokestack23]

Yeah I'd say there musta been some flow there...frickin pvc everywhere.
So you never managed to wipe out the RAs? I shouldnt say anything or I'll have them by morning but...I guess we done get them up here? Cause..for me, coco is a FG magnet..well everything is around here..except for my hydro systems and I usually run SM90 in them and it supposedly keeps FGs away. Seems to be working. Man...I can't IMAGINE what it must be like to open a lid expecting to see a huge mass of white roots only to find critters swarming in the shit. FRICK!

So you figure they hurt your yield pretty bad? well of course they did but was it like...they were ready way early type of thing?
Whos LVPK were they? I wonder if you got lucky with a pheno or if they're consistently like that?

Oh and everyone...sorry for the cheezy title. I wanted to attract some replies and info. I know that not many people would have stopped-by if it was called "What's a huge yielding Kush strain?"..again.

I apologize but I'm appreciative for all the helpful info and replies.
PEACE

Hey bro that pvc is small, just the frame to tie her down. returns were 1.5 in. .5in feed 24/7. I cut down on the aphids and gnats but never got rid of em. they made stop run this system for a while.It felt like a tropical island in mosquito season .doin soil and coco for now bugs were cured with a sprinkling of bayer 2in1 systemic for roses with disulfoton, worked better for me than anything else and Ive tried alot.
plants came out great but could have been better, they lost alot of roots it was a fuckin mess. buds were great but my first time w/ that cut. its from vegas a lot of guys grow her on ic. not for sale tho
I think hydrosun pulled a lb with one before

Great job with your trees FOAF love your work bro

Now 3 elbows from a Kush...THAT'S what I'm talking about

i dont know bro i have seen some VERY experienced growers growing bubba that train, top, super cropp etc etc... and i have seen them pulling 12-16 zips a plant (sometimes a bit more) and thats about it, i would have to see a 3 lb bubba to believe it, they dont call it a below average yielder for nothing, now a plant of above average yielding (well lets be real) would be no easy task for a single plant to pull 1344 g's lol DRY of course.

TRUTH......Kush is an acronym for Pot Marketing, "Caveat Emptor" - Buyer Beware......

 

[MjBuddah]

im surprised you got such a good yield with a purple kush with root aphids. you must have veged taht shit for like 6 months.

6 mos, ha ha...... just 2 mos.
I was using a system like in heath robinsons tree grow.
5gal of rocks 15-20 gal of water for one plant
