At what height is ideal to turn a SOG from veg to flower? I waited until 12" and now I have very tall plants
i've never done sog, but i know the whole idea is that you just have a crapload of really small plants... i'd probably probably toss them into 12/12 like a week after they pop out of the ground. keep in mind thats a pretty uninformed opinion though... haven;t read too much about it since i haven;t tried it yet.

(figuring you'd end up at 18" max).
I have done SOG or am doing SOG w/ various methods;
1) 3- stage RW (cuttings in plugs, transplant plugs to 4" delta blocks, then 12/12 @ 4"-6")
2) aero/fog set-up using no medium, (cuttings in EZ-clonner and neoprene {blackstar} collars, "transplant" collars to 2" net pots and into 12/12 aero/fog)
3)Pro-mix in small containers, (cuttings started in EZ-clonner then transplanted to 4"-6" pots when roots show, few days veg then 12/12)
Here's a pic of method #3, abt 4 wks into flower and 10" tall. (pot is too big for this size hehe) It finished at 12", and had NO veg time. Went from clonner to pro-mix and directly to 12/12.
How about sharing some more info on your set-up, and see what others say.
I have a aeroponic system with 18 holes and everything I read said wait until the plant is 12 in tall but i end up with 18 monster plants crowded. I willtry the 6" method Thanks for the help
