More yield = less potency

Someone told me that more yield = less potency and only very special strains have great yield and great potency. Is it true? I sure expect yall saying hell no but maybe someone is actually aware why its true or false. Dont say yield depends on growing skills this is another conversation

I'm no expert, but it doesn't make sense on the face of it. It's not like there is a limited number of trichs to go around. As long as the plant has sufficient nutes for its size, it will grow potent buds.

There is far too much detail to explain, to even make this worth it. Basically I suggest you (op) read some more. A lot more. Read up on cannabis types, particular stains.. etc.

Move to the Noobs Section?
If that's where it belongs... My point is the poster is making a statement rather than asking a question. And to that, the question itself he attempts to formulate is just silly. Common sense could answer, but noooooo, the poster was too lazy to look anything up, so they post this. And thusly, my comment.

But I guess there is a short answer in there for him. -- No.

Ok, question was asked, and answered.

Someone told me that if I stretched my ballsack for an hour a night, eventually I could wear it like a cape. Is that true? Sure, I expect ya'll to say hell no, but maybe someone is actually aware of why it's true or false. Don't say size depends on stretching skills, this is another conversation.

Unasked Questions are missed opportunities at learning. I would suggest posting general newbie questions in the newbie section to get respectful answers. Either way I do not feel that more yield = less potency. The yield is just the amount of smoke produced. I am no expert but I think the potency of a plant depends on the strain of the plant and the yield depends on the way she grows. Don't think there is any correlation between potency and yield.......

But, then again, what do I know... still a newbie myself! Best of LUck!

Not sure why people are attempting to answer... it's already been answered with the CORRECT answer.

The op is not asking the question very well
generally the higher yielding phenotypes of a given strain do not produce as much resin as some of the lower yielding phenotypes
i guess it makes sense that when plants produce a very large yield, you can't expect them to have the same level of resin as some of
the very low yielding phenos that produce clumps of bud rather than colas with a white carpet or resin on the buds

peace :)

hmmmm..... interesting note

which is???
No. More yield does not necessarily equal less potency. skunkd0c was able to sum it fairly closely. but again.. this is something that the OP could have found out with more than 2 minutes research on google or RIU...

sour diesel= high yield and high potency
Jack herer= high yield and high potency
Northern Lights= high yield and high potency


i can go on and on. you are confusing commercial strains with high yielding strains.

Pretty subjective with lots of variables. Whats the average yield of white widow x big bud grown in 54' square, under 250w hid, organic, in 5 gallon smart pots? Thats how you ask us a question.

i chose the term resin specifically, and not potency, since visible resin is not always a sign of the most potent
also some haze phenotypes are very potent and do not have as much resin and yield very well

for me personally i find the buds that produce a very heavy amount of resin are not consistently more potent than buds that produce average resin, but they are consistently more harsh to smoke
they look better, its more for show imo lol
