The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

There are a lot of factors which can influence yield. This makes it very difficult to give broad estimates of how much bud you can expect to collect. As a rough rule of thumb, however, these days 400g/2 to 500g/m2 would be a baseline estimate for indoor marijuana strains.
