Effects

To encourage higher yields, one should also employ plant training methods like the Sea or Screen of Green. This will not only create more colas or budding sites, but also higher yields and a sturdier frame. Pairing it with a hydroponics setup will also help. The plant matures within 7 to 9 weeks with each square meter ranging between 480 to 500 grams of buds.
Like other plants, Brainwreck prefers a warm and sunny environment where it can bask for hours under the sunlight. This is not to say the plant will not well outdoors, however.

It yields at least 500 to 550 grams of buds per plant.
