Sea of ​​Green (SoG) cultivation method

Sea of ​​Green (SoG)

The Sea of ​​Green (SoG) grow pattern is a popular method for growing cannabis, which involves cultivating many small plants in a confined space to shorten harvest time and maximize yield per square meter. Here are the steps for implementing this method, along with its advantages and disadvantages.

Guide for Sea of ​​Green (SoG)

1. Selection of seeds or clones:

   • Choose fast-flowering strains or feminized seeds to ensure all plants are female.

2. Cultivation:

   • Germinate the seeds or take clones from healthy mother plants. Allow the plants to grow in the vegetative phase until they are about 15-30 cm tall.

3. Pot size:

   • Use small pots (0.5 to 3 liters) to save space and promote root growth.

4. Lighting:

   • Make sure your plants receive sufficient light. LED or HPS bulbs are ideal. Keep the lights 30-60 cm above the plants.

5. Plant density:

   • Plant the seedlings close together (approximately 4-6 plants per square meter). This encourages vertical growth and maximizes light exposure.

6. Initiate flowering phase:

   • After about 2-4 weeks, switch to the flowering phase by changing the lighting to a 12/12 hour cycle.

7. Care during flowering:

   • Ensure regular watering and nutrient supply. Remove lower leaves and shoots to better direct light to the upper buds.

8. Harvest:

   • Harvest the plants when the trichomes turn milky and some turn amber. This usually occurs 8-10 weeks after the start of the flowering phase.

Advantages of Sea of ​​Green (SoG)

1. Faster harvest:

   • By planting closely together, multiple harvests can be achieved per year.

2. Space optimization:

   • Ideal for limited growing areas as many plants can grow in a small space.

3. High yield:

   • Maximizing yield per square meter through optimized light utilization.

4. Simplicity:

   • Less maintenance compared to other methods such as ScrOG (Screen of Green).

Disadvantages of Sea of ​​Green (SoG)

1. Smaller plants:

   • The plants remain smaller, which means that each individual yield is lower than with larger plants.

With this information, you should be able to make a decision about using the SoG method in your cultivation!
