Scrog vs sea of green. explain plz

[Dannysayo]

Ok I have gotta confused w/ the meanings of the two. There's just so many ways. Lst, hst,topping,scrog,sog. N more lol. Help a fellow grower out

Scrog= training the plants under a screen to achieve an even canopy and maximize yield
Sea of green or sog= rooted clones put straight to flower in large numbers to achieve single cola'd plants

Putting straight into flowering or using a large number of clones are not required for a SoG.

A SoG is simply put a ScroG without the screen. With a scrog you bind branches down to a net, and usually remove everything below the net/screen, like in my previous halfpipe scrog:


The goal of a scrog and sog is very similar, getting an evenly divided leveled canopy, like I'm working on with my current SoG:
->

I do it by bending and snapping and pinching and even hanging weights on branches. An easier way to get a SoG is to use a rope net, like the WebIT from Secret Jardin, in which case you don't bind branches to the net but bend and push them below it to keep it all leveled.

I ment their would be more clones in a sog than their would be plants in a scrog. I put it as simple as i could for noobs to underdtand

Thx for the replies. I figured I was doing a sog in a cooler w/ no screen. Its currently 12 plants all in 12.5 oz cups 12/12 from sprout. Only difference I don't have a mother to get the clones
