Many buying decisions focus on yield. What is often overlooked is that yield only makes sense when growth remains predictable.
Stability and yield are not opposites, but they require clear prioritisation. When this order is reversed, high expectations come with high uncertainty.
Why yield is often overrated
Yield is easy to communicate and easy to compare. In reality, real-world yield depends heavily on how evenly plants develop.
Strong variation within one strain often means that only a few plants reach the expected potential.
What stability actually provides
Genetic stability does not maximise numbers. It maximises predictability.
- better space and light planning
- clearer timing
- fewer wrong conclusions
The common buying mistake
Many buyers prioritise yield first and assume experience can compensate for variation.
In practice, unstable genetics increase unknown variables and limit optimisation.
Using stability as a decision filter
A sound decision starts with defining acceptable variation. Yield only becomes relevant afterwards.
Categories as orientation, not guarantees
Conclusion: Yield without stability is a gamble. Treat stability as the filter and yield as a secondary factor to avoid poor buying decisions.
