Good point mex', this is why a lot of growers move into sog. For one thing you cut down weeks of veg' time. A one week veg is good in hydro for up to half oz per plant. Where before you fit one plant, you can now fit 6-8. I haven't done a proper sog grow yet, I usually have some big plants then a lot of little ones just shoved in a corner, they get hardly any light but the bud is good for selling to my mates.
Anywhere where there's space in the flowering area I will fill it with plants. Right now I'm flowering 2 big chronic plants in one gallon containers, hydro. 1 la conf' in a bubbler, one master kush in a bubbler.
Then I have 3 chronic in 3 litre containers flowering after a 10 day veg, likewise 3 La Conf' doing the same. Then I have a mix of kush and la conf' around 16 i think, in half litre containers placed into flower after a 3 day veg'.
It's all in my loft too. Most of my time up there is spent crawling around, and banging my head.
What was I saying? Oh yeah, sog. If you want a perma' supply of bud then sog is def' the way to go.
