Mandala Yields - Mandala Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hello all I was posting in the grower's forum to find out which strains would be good for yields and quality for a first time grower. Lots of people were suggesting Mandala, especially Speed Queen, but I was wondering if you mandala growers could give me some numbers on what I can expect from Speed Queen yields if I take good care of the plants. Yields of other mandala strains also definately welcome.

What is the height in your room??? Hashberry is for low ceilings....

hey,

you should post more information on your grow, its hard to say what you'll yield without knowing:

-lighting
-time in vegetative growth
-nutrients
-medium

but to give you an idea, a 1.5 to 2 foot plant will yield a little over a half oz. a 3 to 4 foot plant should yield one or two oz, but this all depends on lighting and other factors, could be more or less.

my understanding, if you have optimal conditions, and the plant is atleast 3 feet tall, you can get one oz per foot. this requires very good conditions though

all of the mandala strains will basically yield the same, above average, and will all be high quality... what you want to make your decision based on is the high... www.mandalaseeds.com read about all of them, click the catalogue.

edit: Sadhu is actually their shortest growing plant, Hashberry and Speed Queen would also be smaller plants. The bigger strains would be: Satori, Kalichakra - the Sativa dominant ones.

sorry my bad... i'm planning on growing 400w hps soil... I want to buy high quality soil and nutrients so plan on that. I am just going to let the plants grow, so I'm guessing they will be 3.5 - 4 ft? I am also going to let them veg. for 3 - 4 weeks and let them flower as long as possible... let me know.

Well according to Mandalas FAQ on www.mandalaseeds.com if you veg the plant to 8-11" it will finish at 3 ft.

I estimate the yield would be 2 or 3 oz off a 3 ft plant with that light. However there are still a lot of factors, just to be safe I'd plan for 2 per plant :-)

have fun

Hmmm I find these yield to be a little low... a 2 foot plant under a 400 should easily get you 1 oz per plant... unless you have bad genetics or totally fuck up a plant bad, o-k nutes + PH'd water. I am using a 250 hps now with some nirvana and am getting closer to 21 grams per plant, so up the 250 to 400 + mandala genes= easy 1 oz per plant.

Yeah I suppose you could get that off a 2 footer, but off a 3 foot plant i'd say my estimate is correct

Check out Blunted4Life's Speed Queen diary here at the support board. ;-)
It has great photos, full details on harvest, yield, smoke report...

One of our highest yielders is Hashberry: a 3 foot plant in soil under 400W and proper plant should yield 70gr/2.45oz dry buds or more. A 2 foot plant will yield at least 30-40gr/1.1-1.4oz.
As a breeder I am always cautious and rather quote lower numbers.
Sadhu and Speed Queen are slightly lower yielders under the same conditions.

I have a forum report here from Cannabis Indicated as a real-life example of how Hashberry can perform:

"...after 2 days of darkness and the proper droop she was felled on what was her 64th day.

scarily, even after the soil was parched and the plant drooping she weighed in excess of the scale's mechanical limits so all i can do at this point until it she is completely dry, is venture a guess...and the estimate is at least 300 grams possibly 450 wet. early yield projections are close to the 3 ounce range
i cannot bellieve how heavy this plant is. after cutting the fan leaves off and trimming some of the smaller baby fans that like to grow tight to the stem, i was astonished when i measured the entire plant which was 21 inches and 12 inches of that is one huge solid top khola and the rest of the lower part of the plant is so tight that it just looks like another single khola."

After drying he writes:

"I went ahead and jarred her up last night. the main khola weighs 3 oz and the bottom half weighs 1.1oz."

Attached is a photo of the plant in advanced flowering.

hashberry was a nice strain to grow...

auto pilot the whole way!

low nute consumption...easy peasy stoney weedy!

p.s. read mike's thread titled "Fertilizing Wisely", too!
