hmm... so after less than 10 posts you're chastising people for not posting relevant questions? in a thread that you didn't even start? that's a real good way to get people to like you on a new board...

that's all I'm gonna say... if you wanted to post and help the original guy asking the question no problem, but don't come in here swinging... thats not a good way to present yourself...

*sigh* if you guys only knew.

look at your post, you hypocrite! wow, works more than one way, doesn't it?

consider please. every time i have posted in the last month, i've had some asshole respond like this asshole (the one who started the ramble...) most of the time, these assholes win the argument, and hundreds of people go misinformed. i used to give a shit. now i don't. do what you want, and learn the hard way.

love, Lea

I personally don't even know why everyone is arguing about SOG.... but I'm high so that might be why...

maybe we just need to puff puff pass and forget about it... lol

aren't smokers supposed to be chill? I know I am... hahahahahahaha... wow... Iron Lion Zion is the best song ever (right now)

this should end any debate. i can't find cites to the author, but it is not mine.


Sea of green

The plantlet sea of green method was developed to maximize the speed of cannabis growing in limited height situations. In a typical sea of green setup of this type, clones are planted at densities as high as 9 per sq. ft. Within a short time after being established, the lights are switched to a 12 hour dark period. What happens to the planted clone?

The clone could just sit there, stretch a bit under the light regime, and flower, producing a tiny little bud with a couple of seeds. But that rarely, if ever, happens. Instead the clone takes off in a rush of growth, forming a woody main stem and branches. If the plant is suitable for sea of green growing, it will stop short of the lights and flower. Most indica dominated plants stop short enough to be grown using this method. That process is at the heart of the sea of green method, as it results in the smallest possible plant flowering in the quickest possible time.

Why does the clone act in this manner? The actual process is subject to debate. Your author suspects that the clone reads the light switch as fall, and has a mechanism that recognizes that it's too small to produce seed. So the clone goes into a furious growth mode that stops when the plant reaches a minimum height set within its genetic software, and then flowers. Others argue that the clone's response is just a variation on the normal stretching process that happens when flowering is forced in any size plant. For purposes of the discussion here, it doesn't really matter why the response occurs, just that you can rely on it.

The problem with the sea of green method under small HPS lamps is that it produces a number of small spikes under the lamp, a forest rather than a field. The plants crowd each other out and shade the lower portions, which in any event are too far from the light source. As we discussed above, tall and skinny is not productive under a small light. I grew initially using this method, based on books and magazines that I read before designing my 250 watt system, and it worked well for many years, yielding just over 1 oz. per ft. Not bad, but it can be so much better.

Note that in the mid-90's, the term ``sea of green'' started being applied to much larger plants and grows, even multiple 1000 watt installations over room-sized grow tables, with 3 foot plants spaced at one per foot. It seems the original meaning of the term, the SSSC plantlet method, has been almost forgotten.

Hello EVERYONE,I have been following this thread and I 'am very displease with the attitudes that's going on in this thread.One there's no one person that's 100% right all the time.If so your name is JESUS.Aleatha I'am sorry that you get so many insults in the fourms.You do know what you are saying and I dont have to run get a book and reserach it,I know it ture.This site is not to go around telling others you are wrong you dont know what is right or wrong and telling people to leave this site cause you think you are right.
