SOG (sea of green) Is a method of growing where you usually start with a mother plant (mother plants are used to butcher down into cuttings), or you can use seeds, but it's less economical.
You generally plant the seeds/cuttings into small pots since your not going to need too much root space.
What your doing is only letting the plants go through the vegative cycle for a short time. This is accomplished by cutting down the light cycle from your origional vegative cycle of anywhere between 16/8-24/0(light/dark), down to 12/12 and a change in nutrients helps to initiate the flower cycle (thats when you get buds).
You want the plants to be small and uniform is size because your gonna end up with a shit load of em' which means that they are gonna get very good lighting, and you dont have to let the plants vegetate long if at all, your choice.
So to answer your questions, yes it does stay in thwe 6 in pot it's entire life, you want many small plants that will yield around a joint a piece.
No the pot dosent stun the growth, you just go into flower early on so it dosent get very big, if you had a plant in too small of a pot it would get what is known as root bound and die.
3-6 months in a 5 gallon will grow big plants (my growing preference) they get big because the extended light hours durring the vegative cycle lets the plants get big because they know winter is not gonna come soon. They start budding when you lower the hours of light to 12/12 because they think that winter is coming which they dont like, so thet produce buds to reproduce (basically they want to fuck so future generations of thier species can live on)
I may have confused you so feel free to ask more questions, me or someone else will try to answer them for you.
peace

my version works great. just put a net over your plant in flower and grow it sideways then cut it free for the last week and a half. lots more budsites lots more buds even lighting

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.
