You guys are all confusing SOG with SCROG and LST... Except for Dave, who just posted excellent information.

SOG you keep a SHITLOAD of tiny plants. If you go this route, do yourself the favor of checking out plant count laws in your area... SOG is the way to go in a hydro system, with the exception of DWC,, where you have the root-space to grow some big ass bushes like crispi and weedhound do. The drawback of SOG is that you really want to start with clones, all of the same variety. Most growers won't even be ABLE to do a sea of green until we have established a working mother and a viable cloning method. After that, though, it is very efficient, and used by cashcroppers.

SCROG like Yeag does is a FANTASTIC way to get a similar canopy effect, while keeping your plant count to a bare minimum. This makes caring for the plant easier too I think, but flushing is a BITCH unless you plan ahead and set the pot up on a milk crate with a tray under the crate itself to catch runoff. You MUST use a large pot for that method, because of the finish size of the plant, and like he says, you have to transplant BEFORE flowering because once the plant is trained into the net, you can't really do much with it.

Karma's tying is more just a simple LST. It's my preference for keeping mother plants, but I cut the ties off before flowering, and if I need to spread the canopy later, I do it by clipping the plant to a wire hoop. You don't want to bend any top shoots down after flower starts, although you CAN lean them gently over.
