Does Sea of Green Produce the same thc & terpine levels?

So I wonder if the small size of plants grown in a sea of green comes at a significant cost to end quality, over vegging bigger and stronger before flowering?

No loss for smells and smoke. Just a loss of size of flower and total yield. A packed room of only dense tops or a room with big plants that have smaller lower buds. Then you add in the time it can save, by having less veg time. You can throw in another crop. You have less time to develop problems if you're going to have them. And the trimming is minimal.

Plant size does not directly relate to quality as long as the plant is healthy. SOG produces absolutely just as good of quality as any other option, and in less overall time.

I ran SOG for over 10 years. If you calculate in time and space, it also yields higher then most other grow techniques.

Like Dreaming said the trimming is also much easier. You are basically trimming up single cola branches instead of chopping up a big bush and dealing with all sorts of smaller buds.

That's incorrect, SOG is the most efficient way to increase yields per sq. ft per the least amount of time . Nothing else comes even close..... when I was running true SOG I'd easily get 2 oz per sq ft .

Loss of flower from side branches but done properly nothing but big top colas. At least from my experience. More weight per crop.

Size of the plant won’t matter. The less “flower per plant” can only end up with a higher quality of done right.
I’m not saying this was done right, but I have a clone that I flowered out in a solo cup with 2 colas on it, and the trich production surpasses the 3gal pot I have going with many tops.
First bud pic is the 3gallon, 2nd is the solo cup.

Providing you let it ripen right i cant see there being much difference vs growing other ways

No, as long as the clones used are from a plant that had reached sexual maturity (NOT just declared), they will be as good as their mother variety.
