Am I doing this sea of green right?

Im just happy, with this grow. I simplified everything with this grow. Just Happy Frog soil, and Fox Farm 2 part cultivation nation. Feed every 3rd watering. When I feed i ph to around 6.5. The rest of the water, is just tap thats had 24 hours to breathe. Everything is going good so far. I think im finally done raising and lowering things, to keep things level at top. Only the far right choc thai auto is lst'd just to make it fit. How do things look so far?

Yeah the whole SOG thing was kinda a joke. I do plan on doing that with the blueberry in the front middle on my next grow. Noticed my first roots on my clones last night. Im excited to do a real clone grow. Will also be my first.

I think a sea of green would be single cola plants jammed in to maximize numbers. Imagine like 12 3 gal pots in a 4x4 growing autos… Cramped but not too bad. Plants will grow and crowd but not overgrow the others. Now do the numbers for 2 or 1 gal pots. Basically you are looking to lollipop to one single top, then flower. Now imagine that same 4x4 with like 30-36 one ounce colas covering the entirety of the floor space and you are using the max amount of space for your light. It looks like you’ll have a nice harvest… oh yeah, also during sea of green, most will grow the same strain or bunch of clones… or as like genetics to keep canopy fairly flat.

Yeah, you are right. I was just kinda having a giggle at it. Almost looks like it from top picture. As you can tell i love usps boxes to keep things level. Free and compostable. lol

All these plants are roughly the same age, with the two big photos in the front being the exact same age. But the blueberry is coming along a little faster than everything else. Who else has grown blueberry? Is it a faster strain? Seems like only 3-4 weeks left on it...maybe a little more. The others im thinking around 5-6 weeks.

I use buckets, pots, and the plastic Pepsi and coke flats for carrying 6pks. Stackable and washable, also strong and can support at least 170 lbs as that’s what I weigh and have stood directly on them. If you have a soda distributor in the area they usually toss them after they get worn…

The real benefits of SOG comes from running a perpetual grow. You can put up insane numbers if you have a schedule, and space, that allows you to flower, harvest, and flip, or run a bunch of beds with staggered ages to harvest every few weeks.

It was how I learned to grow so I just stuck with it. I plan on doing SIPs in the not so distant future because SOG just not practical for how much I smoke, and I want more variety. I just love growing too much to stop for 6 months to a year.

The original sea of green is the dutch way 200 or 300 clones crammed into a small space 2 weeks veg and flip cut off all side branches and leafs that cause shading on there neighbours there all about the $€£ for the most part hence there style its efficient minus the risks of high plant counts if you stay somewhere like me ya gotta give the dutch that there good at making money i know dudes here who do it like that and use small pots too again there in it for the money of course

Great picture though of the plants, clearly shows sativa, and Indica Dominant on the various Phenos…
Difficult for sog unless you group the sativa under one group of lights, and the same with the Indicas under a different group of lights.!!!! I guess
Closest I’ve come to sog which I’m getting ready to start (using a select very smelly creamy, White Widow strain that I have ), because I’m starting to like photo strains better than autos , was 24 Auto flowers of fast buds tangie’matic in a 4 x 4 tent
Using 2 gallon pots —about 18 oz dry yield…22-23% Thc good stuff.

Yeah, the big 2 in the front are both photos. My first photos. Only grown autos up to this point.

The girls still chugging along. Little chocolate auto on the right, gave me a little scare.....she got hungry quick. The blueberry in the front middle starting to chunk up nicely.. Im excited. Gotta be honest.....this Cultivation Nation fertilizer.....is super simple. Ive used alot of different ones, and hands down this one is the best for my growing setup. Wish I would have found it before now. lol

No, the original Sea of Green is NOT Dutch. It was carried to Holland by Northern Lights Greg aka Seattle Greg, in early-1985. He showed it to Nevil and to Ben Dronkers. It was devised in the years 1979-1981. The first deliberate SoGs were done in Seattle, in 1982, and it was first written about by my writing partner and I, writing as "The Farmer in the Sky." The first time the name was attached to the method was in our book, "Growing Indoors for Fun and Profit," which we published in 1985.Sea of Green 20 x 20 from the book 001.jpgGrowing Indoors Cover.PNG

I have had to explain, MANY times over the years that SoG is NOT the same as either plantlet or ScrOG (which I sent to High Times, via "Legal Mail" to my attorney, in the Fall of 1991, from the Federaal prison in Sheridan, Oregon, where I was doing time for the highest original plant count (12,000+) of anyone taken down in Phase I of Operation Green Merchant. This has been vetted a number of times.

I'm not saying the pnw didn't start indoors first etc but the Dutch loved that method and in Europe they were the first doing it I'm from the UK hence my point

That the Dutch were the first in Europe doing SoG is accurate. As I said Northern Lights Greg carried the method to Dronkers and Nevil in May of 1985.
