if your looking for puerly commercial and starting from seeds, i'd look into something like next generations dynamite. its a heavy yeilder, good quality and finishes quick. heres some info:

Next Generation Dynamite is a squat growing Indica strain, well known for it's heavy yield and high quality bud. Dynamite is very fruity, thick with resinous smoke. It's cannabis seeds produce a deep grapefruit smell that finishes with pink/purple colours as the buds ripen. Dynamite is our stabilized version of Canada’s famous Grapefruit clone. It's cannabis seeds flower indoors within 50 days and can be harvested outdoors early October. Dynamite's structure is short, branchy and grows wide outdoors. Winner 2005 Oregon Medicinal Awards.

am sure this was used to make sonics pynamite mate

uk pineapple x dynamite

I miss this in my garden really nice and powerfull too

peace

if you wer doing it for top dolla 5-6 per year wot wud you grow?
Indoor Blue-cheese because it flies off the shelves as soon as its dry.
Outdoor frisian dew or easy sativa,both yield well and if you were commercial its weight your after right?

yup like mentioned already in the uk you could have og kush or some chronic, it will still go at the same price, you might be able to get extra for the stinky stronger stuff, but here security is paramount and you dont get paid extra for the strain, your better of growing something with a low oder, yields big, and still does the job.
if people got double on the oz for uk cheese then thats what folk would want.

ive gotta say now though that folk in the uk now( or at least where i am) will not buy anything that isnt dry.
and i even heard someone complain about the density of some they bought, so i know things are changing slowly.

i mean the prices have gone up so whos gonna wanna buy it wet at double the price it used to be. that just takes the piss.

edit: and blue dream is a massive yielder indoors.

This is what 20 quid gets you in a midlands town , two sources with different markets and philosophy


The nasty looking sample on the left is local street , on the right the same T44 clone selection grown and processed with a little more care by a local grower that adds ten days to the cycle , sold to an older stable client base as NL or Widow.

Its average quality by our standards but pleasent enougth flavour and yields high , the same plant grown purely for profit is a tasteless force dried head rush , and i can barely smoke it.

Which is as expected when its harvested on a friday night and being sold by sunday morning , crispy outside with a soggy middle around 40% water content , and this was about average quality round here.

it's not a touch on my mates c x nl

that's the last cut I give out to the locals

Just done a room full of conni casey jones and chem jones

The caseys the biggest yielder ive seen in 10 years of comercial growing in the UK and will now be our main strain......... The smokes out of this world, and it only takes a extra week over our critical mass

The chem jones is a great yielder, better smoke and can put out weight to equal critical mass, top 44, ak47, mango etc etc

Theres some great stuff coming from conni genetics this year, its just a shame they dont seem to sell much in retail head shops so i dont have to order by post :)

Hi mate

no we got lucky with a selection from a 5 pack of fem seeds that i bought for percy smoke. There were 3 good keepers out of 5!!!!! Boom :)

I grow in soil, 600w lamps, mag ballasts, 1200w veg tents dr150s/240s, 3 flower rooms, 11 or 15 ltr pots, bio bizz lightmix or plant magic soil supreme or bat mix when its cheap

Comfrey pellets are new to us this year but really hep boost plant vitality and yield, i started using these after seeing some guy who grew the uks biggest cabbage, his magic ingredient was this and when you read up on them they make sense :)

nutes have to be simple for us so - plantmagic bloom / big bud / over drive and bloombastic, id love to cut out all the additives and just run a premium base but in the uk all we have is AN Conni and its a joke of a price. Heavy 16 imported into the UK would be a godsend

Veg tents - 25 plants a tent - 3 weeks veg ( to about 2ft )

then transfer them into one of the rooms and flip them, they will have 8 or so tops by now and produce 5 - 5.25 oz ( 15 ltr ). They do stretch a lot so these finish about shoulder height and im 5ft 10.

Our previous strains always produced 4 - 4.5 max ( 15ltr) and finished a foot shorter

4 plants per light, give or take pal


casey rocks - its got trainwreck, sour D and old school thai in there and yields like a pig!!! haha

:)

Hi

Just shy of 9 weeks mate

We start cutting tops the beginning of week 8 and the bottom buds at the end of week 8

The Chemmy Jones Pheno we got could be cut a week earlier with a average yield of about 80% of the of the casey plants if i compared the 2 strains/phenos

thanks s&m I'm just worried about the headroom the tc cut stretches like a mofo unless you give her plenty of veg

sounds like you got your room dialled in nice

and 3/5 on the cj fems is good going too

do you see noticeable results with the bloombastic then? and is the quality still good?,don't here of many using it

thanks for sharing

Haha year i ruined a few last time by letting them flower too high.... ended up with airy buds

the bloombastics pretty good, i think it works as a PK booster and a bud booster in one so the weeks i use it i dont run bigbud or overdrive etc...... also i get a standard 350ml bottle for 35 quid and throw it into a empty 1 ltr bottle and top up with water.............. and then i use at the recommended rates which are 0.5 - 1 ml per ltr, works fine that way for me :)

The problem with our hobby is that whenever i go to the hydro store i ask myself " will this £100 bottle of nutes give me a extra ounce...... and the answer is quiet often yes, so its counterproductive not to buy it if thats the case..... hence why i used to have about 15 additives in my schedule...... hahahaha
