What exactly is a Sea of Green and how many plants is in a square meter? I'm a major noob btw

Rather than cut/paste it all, better to give you a link to the article in the FAQ. I can't tell ya any better than that..


Grow Marijuana FAQ, Cannabis cultivation - marijuana growing tips & photos

Tells ya all you want to know about SOG/SCROG and alternative growing methods.

it is always the best to read several sources first as the topic "SOG" itself could fill a book... read the FAQ link of ISO, pretty much a good cover of the main techniques that there are but that is just an intro and no excuse not to read the entire FAQ!

that is a nice starter into the world of Sea of Green - gets you started to look for the rest of the FAQ

as far as how many plants per square meter it varies as to how big the plants are before you flower them as a general rule most people use 9 per square meter as it allows for a biger yeilding plant with bigger buds or you could go with or you could go with 36 just rooted and shortly vegged clones or if you don't veg them at all once they root you put them to flower you could pack them in at 81 clones per square meter this last method gives you plants that are nothing more then a single bud useuly nomore then a foot tall unless your useing a pure sativa or a heavy sativa cross which will continue to grow a bit before flowering with the plants vegging a bit then plant in my system useuly end up no taller then 18" with a nice big top cola and a few side buds thats for the 4 at per foot and with 9 per meter you can have p[lants that are put into flowering at about a foot to 18" inches if there more indica and end up with some nice huge buds and lots of smaller buds about an inch or 2 long. or if you have the space and more or less grow to supply a town with smoke and have loads of money for lighting only put 1 plant per meter so 1 1000 watt bulb covers only 4 plants but have 10 to 12 lights in an area so having 40 huge plants with huge buds everywhere then many decent sized buds probably totaling a pound or 2 per plant depending on strain

so it kind of depends on what way you wanna grow and how many plants you want to tend with i've tried all three and for me i prefer to go with just 9 plants per meter and have some nice huge center buds and some nice cola's from the branch tops and loads of 1 to 2 inch long buds but i useuly only keep 1/3 so the rest helps pay for itself.

Thx for the link ISO helped a lot

hey Fly, i am currently doing a sea of green style grow using two 3x3 ebb n flow trays (each tray holds 36, 5 inch pots)...or 1 sq meter each. i cut clones from mother plants so that i had the same genetics on every plant and after they rooted i vegged them for 2 weeks. They were about 10-14 inches when i started flowering them 2 weeks ago...only 7 more weeks! ill post some pictures friday for ya to check out. this will be my first successful Sea of Green.....*knock on wood* but all is looking really nice.

Ice,

Looking forward to seeing those gals get flowered out!

Since I don't need to do a full SOG, or even grow full sized plants, I am doing short plants, in soil. Vegging to about 14" - 16" and putting into flower. So far I am very pleased...shorter plants seem to really load up on the buds!

Looking forward to your grow, Fly. Feel free to shout any time you have questions.

I got my 1000w HPS air cooled as well so im expecting the best..i have it about 5 or 6 inches above the tops of these ladies now so we'll see what happens. i think i could have cut more off each of them on the lower area's that wont really make it to the surface but i think it will still turn out very nicely. dont worry guys i will get a lot of pictures up here soon! i should be out camera shopping today..just waiting to get my check
