Best commercial strain? (to make money)

I haven't seen too much on that strain when I had did a quick search for it a while back. Mines is AK-47 from Serious Seeds. I'll try again now
I have worked with C4 last few years, its spead to harvest makes up for a so so yeild. cut clone to chop in 60 days. Real happy head and great for arthritis pain and immobility.

I would always grab ak's when there around, just not too much cause of mindblowing ability LOL.

Northern Lights is typically an average yielder, at best. N.L. #5 was the yielder in the Northern Lights family, and that's one of the reasons you see it often in hybrids.

Considering the perceived intention of this tread, I will suggest income / expense is the true formula of success, however there are an extreme amount of variables involved. In the attempt of arguing efficiency, without getting specific, the equation of gram per watt / time / space ( cost of space) seems close - considering your effort and labor is free.
two 4' x 8' bloom boxes and a 4' x 4' vegetative space = (32+32+16)= 80 square feet
4 thousand watts of bloom light for 12 hours a day for 60 days (2880 kwh) + 1 thousand watt vegetative light 18 hours a day for 60 days ( 1080 kwh) = 3960 kwh
8 lbs. x 448 = 3584 g

3584g / 3960kwh = .905 g per kwh
.905 / 80 square feet = .0113125 Grams per kilowatt hour per square foot


Just rehashing my previous out of place post.

This thread is horrible with only a couple people naming COMMERCIAL strains & people just naming average yielding strains. Commercial strains are about yield & not smoke & are pound plants indoors in my book.
Big Bud, Critical Mass, Chronic, C4, Shit & AK-47 are commercial strains. Hopefully this helps future viewers.
i agree bigbud and other skunks, can produce huge donkey dick plants producing over 1lb from these type of plants indoors is pretty standard .. as you say they are not the best quality smoke
but will out yield any indica / kush in the same time frame

peace :)

I have a hawaii big bud x maui wowie strain and I love it, for some reason my worst strain I ever grew were some ak47 clones from a dispensary, despite people saying it's a good strain.

For AUTO thinkdifferent, and big devil #2. Love these big yielding autos. Any big bud will yield major for reg seeds. I had great luck with Big Bomb.

You must not have had the AK47 from Serious Seeds? I heard from multiple people that SS is the only way to go for the AK

No, your all wrong. Go out and find a GOOD phenotype of Big Bud. The buds are ridiculous and your yields will be insane. and yo good luck on ur endeavor

WOS Skunk 47... Quality+Quantity both important! Yields/Potency is great + Sweet/Peppery/Skunk > Smells/Flavors

Friends gave me a 1/8 sample from a free s33d I gave them 4 months ago that has been cured for 2wks.
They said it yielded more than their pure AK-47(few grams). They've had SS AK-47 for years from a single reg pack.

I personally smoked their AK47 for a couple months and it was a bit harsh even after a cure; It was more Floral with a peppery undertone. Could've been a bad mother-plant, because their selection is terrible. They even told me they selected the highest yielding plant even though there was a couple much stronger/more flavorful specimen.

Skunk47 has Sweet+Peppery smells, a sweeter flavor, with undertones of Peppery Skunk(no Floral/Harshness)
It keeps me high a couple hrs., which is long enough for me; since it tastes so great I want to smoke more anyway.
 
I've grown out a lot of strains but the biggest yielders for me were chronic, all the critical strains but especially crit+, and skunk 47. It's funny I've never heard anyone mention skunk 47 except for the guy before me on this thread. Total weight isn't the only consideration though I had a bubblegum pheno that I could veg for a day or two and cut down after 45 in 12/12. I think if I bothered to do the math that was my best cash crop but I recently scrapped all my genetics due to a massive broad mite invasion. If you haven't had them yet you can't even imagine the nightmare.

I've kept around a critical mass for her production capabilities, she's a strong body buzz real skunky smell and great nuggetry

Northern Lights

Good Yield
Easy to grow
Hardy
Tasty
Low odor ( compared to a skunk or a Kush)
Works well in about any medium.

The Critical+ crosses from Female Seeds are making a great name for themselves amongst commercial growers on RIU.

I would prefer to stay with indicas if possible. Or at least highly indica dominant. People want that couch-lock mong where I come from :) I will check out your suggestions still. Cheers.
Chemdawg 4..it's the one thing I grow that everyone keeps asking for..narcotic type feel like no other IMO.
