Getting yields but not quality?

What do you flower under? HPS? Try using a mh the first and last 2 weeks of flower. Or use the combo of the two. Or add a uv bulb.
Those would bumb potency a little.

Your best bet is to find a new strain. Thc bomb is good.

Stay clear of anything that says big bud or critical. Both have big bud genetics in them. I have had very good big bud crosses but it takes searching for them.

Don't select a random plant either. Pop a pack or two of them and select the best one. That's for any strain.

Flower under 2 1000 watt hps. Medium is coco. Ill get some pics of them. Next water they are in flush week. I usually let them go 77 days or so. Picked up quite a few new seed pack recently so I've got a good selection to chose from. I've got a thc bomb and g13 labs Pineapple Express running in my other spot. Looking forward to seeing how they come out. But I believe Pineapple Express is a big bud cross

I'm on my 4th run of Critical Kush and this will be the last because like you said good yield but potency is lacking...Got some Blue Dream going now day 61 of flowering and from what I can tell the yield will be at least the same as the Critical Kush but hoping for a lot better potency.
Yea I watched one of ur YouTube vids while back on the blue dream looks good. I picked up some of there blue dream and green crack. Might run one of them instead

My gg4 clone is still strong as ever even after 4 yrs. I clone from a clone from a clone, repeat for 4 yrs.

I grow about 10-15 strains. I have to switch it up from 4 of my elites, to dabs. Never smoking the same strain for a long time
Finger got sore from attempting to *like* repeated times! Where's that damn +rep ?

The right pheno from G-13 gear is quite good! One of the top ten most requested from my disp. in the past.....Still run it for a cpl of patients.

Yeah big bud is known to be weak. Potency and yield usually don't go hand in hand. There's almost always a trade off. If it were me I would run mr nice gear on the big bud crosses. Aka critical. Take your chances with shantibaba.

An accomplished grower can take a mediocre strain and kill it. But a shitty grower can take a killer strain and absolutely blow it.

Any possibility of harvesting too early? any pic's of the buds before harvest? probably just bad genetics like everyone else said.
