What Do Yield Levels Really Mean? đ±Updated 28 minutes ago
When browsing strains in our catalog, youâll notice yield levels listed as Low, Medium, High, or Very High. These categories are meant to set realistic expectations, especially for home growers, and help you compare strains more easily. They are not guarantees, but general benchmarks based on average growing conditions.
Low yield strains usually stay smaller and prioritize traits like potency, flavor, or fast flowering. In real-world terms, growers can reasonably expect around 1â2 ounces per plant indoors and 2â4 ounces per plant outdoors. These strains are often chosen for quality over quantity.
Medium yield strains are the most common and tend to perform reliably in a wide range of setups. Indoors, this often translates to 2â4 ounces per plant, while outdoor growers can expect roughly 4â8 ounces per plant. With decent lighting, basic training, and proper feeding, medium-yield strains can be very satisfying.
High yield strains are bred to produce more flower mass when given enough space and resources. Indoors, growers often see 4â8 ounces per plant, while outdoor plants can reach 10â16 ounces or more, depending on veg time and climate. These strains respond well to training and benefit from strong light and airflow.
Very high yield strains are the heavy producers. Indoors, experienced growers may harvest 8â16 ounces per plant, and outdoors itâs not uncommon for healthy plants to exceed 1 pound per plant under good conditions. These strains usually require more room, longer veg times, and solidïžïž solid plant care to hit their full potential đ
A Quick Reality Check đż
Yield levels assume average conditions. Factors like light intensity, nutrients, plant training, genetics, pot size, and climate can push results higherâor lower. New growers may see slightly smaller harvests at first, while experienced growers often exceed the listed category.
