For example, <strong>Indica<\/strong> strains, due to<strong> structural differences<\/strong>, tend to produce larger yields than sativa strains. They tend to grow shorter than sativas while producing more branches, which therefore produce more flowers and larger yields.<\/p>\n<p>Another couple of things to keep in mind are <strong>watering and feeding<\/strong>; feeding your plants in excess or watering them too much is a big mistake. It may seem like the more you give your plants, the more they grow, but <strong>in this particular case<\/strong> less is always more; it\u2019s much harder to <strong>fix over-feeding or over-watering<\/strong> than to increase the amount of water or nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, there are <strong>three major factors to keep in mind<\/strong>: the nature of the plant in question (in this case, the genetics of the strain you wish to grow), nutrient schedule (watering and fertilizing) and last but not least, climate issues (temperature, humidity and light).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Genetics_can_Determine_Marijuana_Plant_Yield\"><\/span>How Genetics can Determine Marijuana Plant Yield<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most important things to keep in mind when trying to improve yield rates is to focus on strains that have a <strong>genetic predisposition to grow<\/strong> and develop larger flowers. All types of seeds have their own pros and cons; hybrids are generally much more resistant to typical cannabis grow issues such as insects and rot, whereas regular landrace strains tend to produce higher quality flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Some strains <strong>known for producing large yields <\/strong>are Big Bud (Sensi Seeds), Critical+ or Industrial Plant (Dinafem), Monster (Eva Seeds), Critical Kush and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/barneys-farm-seeds\/432-vanilla-kush-marijuana-seeds.html\">Vanilla Kush<\/a> (Barney\u2019s Farm), King Kong (Dr. Underground), White Rhino (Green House) or Blue Rhino or Somango 47 (Positronics) and many others.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutrients_influence_on_cannabis_yield\"><\/span>Nutrients&#8217; influence on cannabis yield:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Being honest, given normal growing conditions, cannabis plants can survive on quite a little. There are quite a few places where cannabis plants grow in the wild, without any type of help. That aside,<strong> fertilizing and proper watering<\/strong> can<strong> mark the difference<\/strong> between \u201cwild weed\u201d and a robust plant capable of producing decently large yields.<\/p>\n<p>Good<strong> substrate<\/strong> and decent fertilizers used correctly during each stage, as well as high quality water, already guarantees a massive increase in yield when compared to plants grown in the wild.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43876\" title=\"Boom Nutrients Start Tripack\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/boom-nutrients-start-tripack.jpg\" alt=\"marijuana plant yield\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How often you water the plant will generally depend on what kind of substrate you\u2019re using. Once it\u2019s dry or <strong>almost completely dry<\/strong>, you should proceed to water. Try to avoid watering before it\u2019s dried up, or you can accidentally cause excess humidity which can lead to root rot, killing off your plant entirely.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to fertilizer, you can use<strong> root fertilizer, growth fertilizer, flowering, fattening, enzymes, sugars<\/strong>\u2026 The most standard fertilizer is usually going to be a root stimulant, alongside normal growth and bloom base fertilizers. We recommend using the <strong>same brand of products<\/strong> for your plants if possible, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/boom-nutrients-nutes\/4907-boom-nutrients-full-pack.html\"><strong>Boom<\/strong> <strong>Nutrients<\/strong><\/a>. This can greatly increase your chances of producing a larger marijuana plant yield.<\/p>\n<p>When fertilizing it\u2019s important to keep in mind that there are two main types of fertilizers: mineral fertilizers and organic fertilizers. While <strong>organic fertilizers<\/strong> are better for increasing aroma and flavor, <strong>mineral nutrients<\/strong> are more effective at increasing size and yield. When using mineral products, always make sure to wash out your plants\u2019 roots <strong>two weeks<\/strong> before harvesting in order to avoid unwanted tastes or effects when consumed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Climate_and_marijuana_plant_yield\"><\/span>Climate and marijuana plant yield<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In this section we\u2019re going to look at both <strong>indoor<\/strong> and <strong>outdoor<\/strong> growing, where climates can vary.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, you\u2019re going to get much <strong>better results from indoor plants<\/strong>. The reasoning is pretty simple; you can easily have absolute control over the climate that your plants live in. However, outdoor grows are essentially at the whims of nature; you can protect them and give them the <strong>best chance<\/strong>, but you can\u2019t rule out a really bad day either slowing down or ruining your plants. Outdoor grows are usually during the <strong>driest, hottest months<\/strong> if you have the climate for it.<\/p>\n<p>Indoors, you can easily know the temperature and humidity in your grow room at all times using a thermos-hygrometer device, adjusting the parameters if your plants need it. If it\u2019s too hot because of the type of grow light being used, or the season of the year you\u2019re growing in, you can use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/45-climate-control\">extractor or a cooling kit.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Humidity<\/strong> is ealso super easy to keep under control when growing indoors; you can use an <strong>automatic humidity controller<\/strong> that increases and decreases the humidity in your grow room as needed \u2013 you won\u2019t have to do a thing. You can also have a normal hygrometer and adjust humidity by spraying water etc.<\/p>\n<p>In as far as<strong> lighting<\/strong>, we all know that<strong> photosynthesis is one of the most important elements<\/strong> regarding the growth and development of any sort of plant, including cannabis. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/49-plant-lighting\">grow lights designed specifically for cannabis<\/a>, more photons (lumens) generally means much better development, although make sure to thoroughly investigate the lights you plan on using; some bulbs are designed for the vegetation period and others are designed for the flowering period.<\/p>\n<p>These <strong>three factors can change<\/strong> depending on whether you\u2019re growing outdoors or indoors, and they can also change depending on how you\u2019re growing your plant; whether it\u2019s in a pot with peat, coconut or fiber, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/42-hydroponics-and-aeroponics\">Hydroponics and Aeroponics<\/a> etc. When it comes to autoflowering plants, most of this advice isn\u2019t that helpful; autoflowering plants grow so fast that all you need to know is make sure not to over-water and to give them a <strong>decent nutrient schedule<\/strong> from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, we\u2019re going to try and make a list of <strong>some of the most used<\/strong> tips when it comes to getting your plants to produce larger and denser flowers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32342\" title=\"how to increase cannabis yield\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diferencias-entre-plantas-de-interior-y-exterior.jpg\" alt=\"Increasing cannabis yield\" width=\"450\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diferencias-entre-plantas-de-interior-y-exterior.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diferencias-entre-plantas-de-interior-y-exterior-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diferencias-entre-plantas-de-interior-y-exterior-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diferencias-entre-plantas-de-interior-y-exterior-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/diferencias-entre-plantas-de-interior-y-exterior-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When it comes to feminized plants,<strong> do not plant them directly in their definitive flowerpot.<\/strong> Instead, you need to do various transplants (usually one or two, you&#8217;ll have to transplant it again before it begins to flower) to bigger pots. This allows for more root growth and larger plants in general.<\/li>\n<li>Slightly more expensive methods, such as the<strong> use of Co2 systems<\/strong> or ozone kits, can also help to <strong>increase yield<\/strong>. Regular growers don\u2019t use tend to these systems, whereas professional growers and seed banks do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Selective pruning<\/strong> and cutting (some growers even practice selective pruning on auto-flowering plants, although we don\u2019t recommend it) can help the rest of the branches and buds to grow better. There are many different methods and theories regarding how to best <strong>prune or defoliate<\/strong> your plants. We recommend checking out our posts regarding removing leaves and pruning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wiring or stringing the plants<\/strong>, whether they\u2019re feminized or auto-flowering, helps them to create a much sturdier structure and increases the number of flowers on your plant while also making the buds fatter.<\/li>\n<li>Grow methods such as<strong> SCROG (Screen of Green) and SOG (Sea of Green)<\/strong> can increase yield when growing one or two plants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s incredibly important to not stress your plant<\/strong> out during the flowering cycle; don\u2019t prune, don\u2019t transplant it or do anything else that could possibly stress it out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Increase_Cannabis_Yield\"><\/span>How to Increase Cannabis Yield<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Quantity isn\u2019t always the same as quantity; sometimes, to <strong>harvest a larger marijuana plant yield<\/strong> you may need to grow a specific strain rather than others you may prefer the aroma or effect of. Most of the ways to increase aroma, flavor or effect are usually counterproductive to <strong>increasing yield size<\/strong> when it comes to using nutrients; organic nutrients are much better for <strong>aromas and flavors<\/strong>, whereas mineral products can give your plants that boost you\u2019ve been looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Your objective should be to <strong>find a middle-ground<\/strong> between large yields without losing out on flavor or effect.
