Best strain sog

[LOC NAR on probation]

Confused ?

Perpetual harvest.

A Sea of Green is when you have your room split into half and a harvest every month or even split into 2 weeks. It is ment to give you a harvest at shorter intervels with one room rather than waiting 2 to 3 months to harvest.

We are not in a friendly place and large grows do not go undetected here. One day perhaps but not now.

Sounds like you were looking for just large comercial grows. sorry.

Sorry mate I thought the sea of green was all the plants crammed in together at about the same height and you concentrate on the cola. Is this wrong because this is the system I was going to use?

Perpetual harvest.

A Sea of Green is when you have your room split into half and a harvest every month or even split into 2 weeks. It is ment to give you a harvest at shorter intervels with one room rather than waiting 2 to 3 months to harvest.

What? No that's just wrong. Perpetual harvest is a method of crop rotation so that you have a harvest ready every few weeks. It is a called (wait for it)... Perpetual Harvest. SOG is a closer to what Willy181 described where plants are spaced to maximize canopy and thereby yield. Here is a cut 'n paste from this useful article: An Overview of Cannabis Training (ScrOG, SoG, FIM, Supercrop, LST, etc.)
-------------------------------------------
The Sea of Green method does not involve training the plants or changing levels of auxins like what we've talked about before. Instead, SoG allows a grower to maximize a variety of cannabis while at the same time trying to dial in a strain/method that allows for the most grams per watt.

The SoG method involves growing many plants in smaller pots. Usually this is done with clones. There are quite a few different growers who utilize the SoG method in these forums. SoG can be done on smaller scales in containers such as cut 20oz soda bottles, or it can be done by utilizing taller, 1/2-3 gallon containers, with less width. By allowing for more plants under the light, one can grow many different strains without worrying about the canopies interfering with each other as much.

The idea behind smaller SoG grows is to get bud from the soil to the tip of the plant. This is a strain-dependent characteristic, but is often a desired one from SoG growers.

Let's take a look at the pros and cons of this method.

-Pros
1. Easier to grow more strains
2. Clone friendly
3. Can potentially mean increased yield

-Cons
1. Higher plant count
2. Not good for all strains
3. More time-consuming

SoG is great for some who want variety and a bunch of colas sitting in their flowering chamber. However, the small size and number of plants is just too troublesome for some. Now that we've looked at the main types of training, you can make your own decision and go out there and start maximizing your yield.

Thanks Bigsby I thought I was going a bit mad there.

I have been researching SOG for the past few months, I have a perfect area for 40 3gal soil bags on a table with about 4 incles of slope for runoff, framed 2 x 4 with nice edge table covered with BW poly. I am going to set up on timer and drip system. right now I am vegging the clones they are about 8" to 10" tall.....and I will set the whole thing up and flip them this weekend.

Not sure what to expect as i have several strains as follows:

1) Grape Romulan
2) Black Berry Kush
3) Kypronite
4) Space Queen
5) Purple berry Kush
6) Purple Dragon

I have several Blue Dream.....but I learned my lesson with those babies....they will explode and get too big for SOG.

I may be setting myself up for failure.....but I know all those strains except the Purple Dragon...and all of the other should be fine as they mostly sativa hybreds.

Nice one weeddaddy, it sounds like what I am hoping to do. If you are doing a growlog I will be following it intensely, I am currently trying to get as much info on it as possible so I make as few mistakes as possible. Hopefully it wont be too much different to a normal grow just with more plants and quicker harvests.:thumbsup:

[bigsby]

Yeah post up a grow log and a link to it here. I'll follow along. I'm curious. I do scrog. I just completed my first grow. It is pretty easy and I can understand why it is one of the best methods for maximizing yields. I'm looking forward to doing another grow to apply all the learning I got from my first run. I used to be an out door farmer but it's just not possible any more.

[weeddaddy50]

Too......I have been growing outdoor for many years....indoor is a totally different aninal........and WAY.....Harder.....

[weeddaddy50]

not grow outdoor where I am at right now...so it's indoors for me....and I am learing tons....on this wedsite.....I read grow logs every night.

Keep up the good work

Actually, to be fair to LOC NAR on probation, sog is often associated with the perpetual harvest method. The two kind of go hand in hand. That said, you can run a perpetual harvest rotation with any grow method.
