Sea of Green

[rudy2010]

I have just heard of a new (to me anyway) method for maximizing your harvest and I haven't seen any posts or found anything in a search. Apparently it has been used indoors for a while where is it called sea of green.:jointsmile:

For the outdoor application you make a frame about 6' x 6' and cover it with the 2" x 4" fencing wire. Then suspend it over the plants. As the plants grow you keep pushing them down under the fence wire and spread the limbs out. When they start budding you let them come through the wire.

Further details on this method are vague to me and I would like to see if someone is familiar with this method and can provide some technical details.

*How high from soil level should the frame be suspended?
*Does the height vary for different strains?
*Is 6' x 6' large enough for the frame or should it be some other size?
*Does the frame need to be square or can it be made to fit the area available?
*Is it more difficult to harvest or is it easier because you have just the buds sticking up?
*Are there any errors in the info I mentioned above?

I have heard that folks are getting 6 to 10 lbs of dried buds per plant using this method. On a collective with 36 plants they used this method to get 320 lbs of buds so I am really interested in finding any and all details on this method. If I got 2 lbs per plant I would be deleriously happy.:rastasmoke:

Think you could Google up the how to part real easy. What you described is what is normally called Screen of Green I believe. Sea of Green is just a mass of plants put into bloom at an early stage with an effort made to keep the canopy about level. Doesn't involve a screen.

seems like all growers would drool for those numbers.....I mean realistically your total amount of wattage will dictate for the most part your yields indoors and how much space you have to work with. are you talking about outdoors?? SOG is generally an indoor only method that maximizes space and time with actually lower yields per plant yet more plants so total yields are reached by using space the most efficiently in small spaces. The addition of a screen is SCROG or Screen of Green similiar to SOG yet still different. as the other user mentioned.....do some google work and you will have more info then you probably can use or even can process...its endless out there on how you can set things up...to each his own and may happiness be found at the end of the day!!! peace!!

Yes what your talking about is a SCROG. Like the others say but !

Sea of Green is not just a harvest every three or four months. It can only be done inside. It is a harvest every month or even two weeks. Your room is like a conveyor belt. As a harvest is complete new ones already vegged must take their place. This can be many small ones or a few big ones depending on how much you put into it.

In a Sea of Green the flower room is just like any other. ALL the MAGIC happens in the mother and vegg room. It is much work. Not for the stoner that can't keep up, they soon fail.

Thanks folks for the great information. The name Screen of Green or one of the acronyms suggested should give me the info I need on Google. I am definitely an outdoor grower. I mentioned Sea of Green because a friend of mine who grows indoors said what I was describing sounded like an indoor method he had heard of called that. At least it was close enough for you guys to figure out what I was talking about.

As far as quantity per plant goes until now the best I heard of was folks who are averaging 4 lbs per plant growing purple kush. They have killer sun, clear skies and pour on the nutes and water. They sometimes get 7 lbs from a plant and one person at their collective got 10 lbs of buds from one plant. But the folks who got 320 lbs from 36 plants is just astounding. They used the Screen of Green and the results were stunning.

Like I said if I could average 2 lbs per plant I would be delerious. If I got 8 to 10 lbs of buds per plant I would cream my jeans.:jointsmile:

Any yield like that is going to be a vertical grow, not a scrog, I'll guarantee that. Pic related.
