What Makes A Strain High-Yielding?
Much like a family's recipe for the perfect lasagna, high-yielding cannabis strains owe their potential to a process of constant refinement. Through selective breeding, cannabis strains can be carefully steered over time to produce higher yields by selecting a breeding partner with high biomass. This is then often paired with a parent with high cannabinoid levels, then, via the magic of phenohunting, a winner emerges with both high biomass and high cannabinoid levels. Seedsman has used this very principle in creating new strains, and the results speak for themselves.
While its true the genetic potential of a high-yielding cannabis strain lies buried within the seed, getting those yields over the finish line relies on you, the grower, and the conditions in which you nurture your plants. An innate ability to produce copious amounts of resin-rich buds is your launchpad, but you also have to follow the grower’s blueprint and ensure your plants get the right care every step of the way to guarantee success.
Do Indicas or Sativas Yield Higher?
It’s a good question. and traditional indica cannabis strains would ordinarily tend to produce higher yields than sativas, but here's the thing: traditional indica and sativa definitions are arguably becoming somewhat outdated in the modern era of hybrid strains, and, brilliantly, hybrid strains will typically yield more florescence (buds) than indica or sativa. This is due to the breeding programs which are, in some cases at least, designed to maximize the yield potential of the strain (along with other desirable traits, of course).
Any Tips To Help Maximize Yield?
Yes! There are several things you can do to give your plants the best chance to overwhelm you with buds come harvest time. Combine these with the right genetics, and you’re well on your way to a jaw-dropping bounty of buds come grow’s end:
- Powerful Lighting Nutrient-rich soil
- Plenty of water
- Keep plants in veg longer
- Use plant training techniques such as low-stress training and Screen Of Green
- If growing indoors, consider using supplemental and side lighting in addtion to canopy lighting above your plants
- If growing outdoors, ensure plants are palced in a alocation where they will recieve optimal sunlight
- Time your harvest

The Best High Yielding Strains On Seedsman
With the above in mind, you’ll be itching to get your hands on the right genetics so you can take your first step to producing your yield of dreams. If you plant it, they will come. Here’s some killer high-yielding cannabis strains you’ll find right here at Seedsman, that have the necessary ingredients to require a forklift at harvest time.
Purple Ghost Candy
Another ‘best of’ list, another appearance for Purple Ghost Candy. Time and again, this phenomenal strain muscles its way into the recommendations, because it’s just that good, on so many fronts. In addition to its sky-high yield potential, THC content is an equally-staggering 27.5% or thereabouts, while flowering time is 10 weeks. Outdoor growers will have their hands full come grow’s end, no doubt about it. This isn’t just quantity, this is sheer quality as well.
You might not expect such a high-quality, high-yielding cannabis strain to be easy to grow, but PGC is exactly that. It's got the looks, it's got the potency, it's got a flavor profile like nothing you've ever tasted, too; lemon/lime, peach, and mint notes throughout make this an unforgettable smoke. Purple Ghost Candy is a highly resinous plant that suits makers of extracts and concentrates as well. One thing's for sure - there'll be plenty to go around!
Cali Critical Mass
Hot on the heels of Purple Ghost Candy is the sublime Cali Critical Mass. Mass is the operative word here, with the kind of yield potential outdoor growers dream about, and harvests to brag about. A hybrid Skunk strain, Cali Critical Mass is a cross between Bubba's Gift and Cali Critical. 8-9 weeks of flowering time with advanced nutrients will produce big yields indoors, where outdoors she prefers a Mediterannean or Continental-type climate. Northern latitude outdoor harvests will be ready around mid-October.
Cali Critical Mass offers plenty besides the colossal yields. This is one of the best-looking and most resinous plants out there, and those big, juicy buds are highly aromatic and flavorful, too. Grow difficulty is fairly average, so you can bring home the harvest without any real trouble. The high level of mold-resistance is the kind of bonus all growers love, and the end product is a fruity, skunky experience to refresh the body while stimulating the brain.
Lemonchello Haze
Named after the sumptuous Italian liqueur – limoncello – Seedsman Lemonchello Haze is an exquisite sativa-dominant hybrid packed with surprises. This tangy treat offers mind-blowing citrus appeal in spades, and buds by the bucketload. If you're wondering, the quality behind this beauty comes from its parentage of the phenomenal Super Lemon Haze and the legendary UK Cheese. Quality genetics make for quality cannabis strains, and Lemonchello Haze is living proof!
The sativa component of the genetics means a flowering time of 9-11 weeks, and outdoors, Lemonchello Haze is good for dry, humid, and warm climates. Buds are dense, resinous, and plentiful. As the name suggests, the flavor is lemony and refreshing, and with a THC content topping 25%, the effect is is euphoric and long-lasting.
Badazz OG Cheese
There’s an ongoing argument in the cannabis community as to whether OG stands for Ocean Grown or Original Gangster. In this case, OG could easily mean Outrageously Generous, such is the yield potential of this sativa-dominant wonder. As the name implies, this is a straight cross of Badazz OG and UK Cheese, and if you know your strains, that means earthy, skunky, cheese flavors to die for.
To reach Badazz OG Cheese's yield potential, best results are achieved outdoors and in dry, humid, or warm climates. Flowering times is usually about 9-11 weeks, with Northern latitude harvests ready to crop in October. Buds are dense, highly resinous, and as the cheese name suggests, extremely aromatic! There's no couch-lock here, only superb uplifting sativa effects.
Bubba Kush
Everybody loves a good Kush strain, and Bubba Kush is a good Kush strain! Our take on this modern classic features the highly-revered Pre-’98 genetics, crossed with itself. This is the real deal alright. Despite being of a smaller stature than some Kush strains, Bubba’s yields are astonishing, especially if grown outdoors. If you get the conditions right, you’ll need a lot of jars to accommodate your stash.
Bubba Kush's smaller stature makes it an ideal pick for those looking to cultivate a high-yielding cannabis strain on a balcony, but it works superbly anywhere. As a 90% indica-dominant hybrid with high THC content , Bubba Kush packs heavy narcotic power in its thick, heavy buds. Flowering takes between 9-11 weeks, and bumper harvests are ready between September and October in Northern latitudes, Southern Hemisphere cultivators can expect harvest time between March and April.
FUEL D.OG
There's an expression: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog". Well, Fuel D.OG is packing on both fronts. Plants are tall and robust, yields are high, and there's a reassuring amount of mold resistance here, too. This is not just a high-yielding cannabis strain, this is a resin factory - you'll see phenomenal resin coverage fairly early in flowering, so it should come as no surprise that Fuel D.OG is a real favorite with extract makers.
As a cross of the legendary Chemdog and Fuel O.G. strains, Fuel D.OG is more robust than Chemdog, and an even more intense flavor profile. Citrus, grapefruit and Diesel flavors are all to the fore, making for a mouth-watering experience. THC content has been lab-tested at 22%, and the effect is intensely narcotic, making it a great end-of the day treat. Flowering time is 9-11 weeks, with Northern Hemisphere harvests ready in October, while Southern Hemisphere growers will gather up their bounty in April.
