Basically, you have to stick the maximum amount of plants you can in a 2m squared area in the smallest pots possible. Personally, I wouldn\u2019t use any pots smaller than <strong>1.80\/2L<\/strong> if you\u2019re planting in coco and <strong>3.25L<\/strong> if you\u2019re planting in soil. The reasoning behind this is that if there\u2019s too little soil it\u2019s pretty easy to over-fertilize your plants accidentally without a drip irrigation system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They don\u2019t need that much growth, so you don\u2019t have to have the lights on <strong>18\/6<\/strong> for too long.<\/li>\n<li>As soon as they develop a <strong>decent root system<\/strong> you can transplant them, and after <strong>7 to 10 days of growth<\/strong> once the roots are really in there, you can change the lighting to <strong>12\/12<\/strong> and begin flowering them. This means that you just saved 15 days of growth, which your electricity bill will be grateful for.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll need to <strong>begin flowering<\/strong> them when they\u2019re about <strong>15 to 20cm tall<\/strong>, because the next two weeks is when they\u2019ll grow quite tall, doubling in height at the very least. We also recommend training them with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/tools-and-accessories\/752-tutors.html\">plastic stakes.<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your workload will multiply with this grow method as you\u2019ll have to take care of quite a lot of plants, mother plants if you have them and the future clones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, if you have enough space and time, this method is the <strong>fastest in as far as yield.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SCRoG_Screen_Of_Green\"><\/span><strong>SCRoG: Screen Of Green<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This means <strong>Screen of Green<\/strong>, which consists in pruning your plants and bending them until you fill an entire growing screen or mesh, which guarantees that you\u2019ll cover the entire area with buds. An example would be <strong>4 to 6 nicely pruned plants bent to fit in the mesh perfectly<\/strong> with its branches and in a 14L flowerpot. This will completely cover a 1m square meter plot. To completely cover the area you\u2019ll need to have <strong>50-65%<\/strong> of the mesh while the plants are growing, as once they go into the flowering period they\u2019ll shoot up again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ll get quite a large production just like with the <strong>SOG method<\/strong>, although there\u2019s a lot less plants but they\u2019re much bigger.<\/li>\n<li>You won\u2019t need to grow a mother plant because you can just grow them from seeds and that will save you quite a lot of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The growth period is <strong>longer<\/strong> than SCRoG.<\/li>\n<li>Taking care of mother plants can be hard if you don&#8217;t have much space.<\/li>\n<li>It needs more attention during the growth period and the first two weeks of the flowering period to bend the branches and prune various times to get the <strong>most amount of branches possible<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"d7b62798-2d34-4c17-a139-1e68b69df325\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>Now that you understand the difference between <strong>Sea of Green (SOG)<\/strong> and <strong>Screen of Green (SCROG<\/strong>) methods, it\u2019s clear that each has its own advantages. SOG, while requiring more initial setup and ongoing management, tends to yield higher results by allowing more plants to grow close together, maximizing light use and space. This method to get the most out of your grow space <strong>accelerates harvests and increases<\/strong> <strong>overall yield<\/strong> but demands careful control of environmental factors.
