Sea of Green SOG Pruning Method for Cannabis Production

Sea of Green (SOG) Pruning Method for Cannabis Production Professor DeBacco Maximize Speed The sea of green method was developed to maximize the speed of cannabis growth especially if overall height is limited. More commonly done when the starting material is clones (vs seeds) Plants can be 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. Plant Height Typical the plants should reach about 12” tall before the flip. Then they should finish around the 18-20” Plants should be grown in 3-gallon pots to maximize density with the limit of water stress. Some growers use 1-gallon containers to pack the plants in, but water frequency will have to be increased. Goal is to Maximize Production Goal is the utilize all of the space available for maximum flower production. Plant Hormone Influences with SOG The relatively quick flip of the photoperiod to the 12/12 flowering duration limits plants overall height. This induces flowering quicker and allows for a quicker time to harvest. Plant densities should be high because while there is no alternations to normal hormone concentrations because this shift occurs sooner than is normal overall yield per plant will be reduced so growers need to make-up the difference by increasing overall plant numbers.
