Minimise Your Efforts, Maximize Your Cannabis Yield
Maximising yield is high on your cultivation bucket list if you’re like most home growers. Expert growers can rely on techniques like low-stress training, which can be too time-consuming for the everyday grower. But what if we told you there are easy ways to maximise cannabis yield that even beginners can do! Spending less time tending your plants to maximise yield will give you more time to enjoy consuming the fruits of your labour! Take it easy because these tips don’t require much effort to make them successful!
Start with high-quality cannabis seeds
Starting with the best cannabis seeds is a surefire way to boost the average yield of your home grow. Genetics play a major role in the size yield a cannabis seed produces. Amsterdam Genetics selects the best genetics for our premium cannabis seeds that yield better results, even for beginners.
Many strains are genetically designed to produce more buds than others. For example, Sativa strains typically have larger yields compared to indica strains because of the larger plant size capable of sustaining larger bud growth.

Use good climate settings
Finding the optimal climate for your indoor grow space requires lots of monitoring and setting adjustments. Several factors impact the overall environment, and these can add more work hours to maintaining your plant.
Don’t get too bogged down on the climate specifics! A favourable climate will make your plants happy enough to produce a good yield. Constant changes can lead to stress and other issues, decreasing the yield if done incorrectly.
The Mediterranean climate is one of the best when growing cannabis at home. Maintaining warm temperatures with lots of light during growth and a consistent 12-hour light/dark cycle during flowering will make life very easy!
Use a larger grow space
Growers can limit the growth of their cannabis plant the moment they plant the seed. What you plant your cannabis seed in and where it grows influences how big it can get and how much yield it produces. Simply stated, give your cannabis plant more room to grow, and it will have a larger yield.
After the seedling stage, transfer your young plant into a large enough pot to support lots of root growth. Although indoor growers are limited by space, using a grow tent with more height dimension will give the plant more vertical to stretch its branches and produce more buds.
Experiment with companion planting
Cannabis plants love having friends. While you’re busy living life, companion plants will help keep your cannabis plants company. Surrounding your plant with certain types of plants can improve its health and increase yields.
Companion plants are other plants that cultivators grow alongside their cannabis plants. It’s a hands-off method to help repel harmful insects and provide more nutrient-rich soil.
A few popular companion plants to add to your grow space are:
• Lavender
• Basil
• Garlic
Change your growing method
The traditional pot-and-soil is a tried-and-true method for cultivating cannabis at home. Thanks to new developments in cultivation, there are now many other ways to grow plants.
Some of the current trending farming methods that work great for home grows are:
• Hydroponics
• Aeroponics
• Vertical Farming
Switching your growing process to one of these is an easy way to maximise cannabis yield once you master the techniques. They each have benefits for boosting yield with minimal effort. For example, maximising grow space with vertical farming and more efficient watering for enhanced growth using hydroponics.
Use automation in your grow
Welcome to the age of smart cannabis cultivation! Introducing technology into your grow setup is a fast-track way to increase yields with minimal effort. Automation tools help regulate lighting cycles, climate, watering, and more.
More advanced climate control tools can set a climate and rebalance it automatically if it gets too hot or cold. Also, use light timers to ensure your plant receives the exact amount of light it needs—no more worrying if you cut the lights off!
Change where you grow
Indoor growers seeking an easy way to maximise cannabis yield should consider relocating their grow setup from indoors to outdoor growing. Cannabis plants thrive in their natural outdoor setting, which can increase their overall yield. Cultivators living in locations where outdoor cultivation is legalized can benefit from it.
Growing outdoors eliminates the hassle of setting climates, expands the grow space, and gives your plant the natural resources it craves to grow. While there are other challenges to growing cannabis outdoors, it’s a quick solution for bigger yields, especially when using the right cannabis seeds that grow well outdoors!
