A Detailed Breakdown of The SOG Method and How It Enhances Cannabis Cultivation
Success
The sea of green (SOG), developed in Holland in the 1970s is a canna-cultivation system that allows
reducing the growing time for higher yields by growing the plants in a canopy. It is one of the
several cultivation methods that indoor cannabis growers use to make e cient use of their space.
This is carried out by planting many plants in smaller pots in each square meter of space and also
reducing the time the plants are to spend in the vegetative phase. Instead, they are changed to the
12-12 owering cycle while still little so they can grow well and have a high yield.
The main aim of SOG is to increase plant yield per square meter, not its volume, this is why the
plants are forced to grow quickly to form a canopy. This ensures the plants receive equal lighting
thus eliminating the need for extra lighting. It is a suitable technique for cannabis growers that
have small spaces or those that have space for several growing tables.

Apart from taking advantage of available growing space by making complete use of it with as many
pots are needed. The Sea of Green method helps in saving light consumption and reducing the
growth time while still getting a great yield within that space. They also reduce the probability of
pest and disease attack due to the shorter growth time and allows for a faster trimming method as
it has a low amount of leaves that need trimming leading to less organic waste.
Essentials for a Sea of Green Method of Cultivation
Pots
Pots are one of the most important things needed for your own SOG, the ideal choice is small pots
for your small plants as they allow you to maximize your oor space and ensure enough
circulation. However, you must also ensure that the pots are large enough to aid root development
and also hold enough water to allow less time between waterings. Pots made from terracotta,
plastic or airbags are ideal for this purpose as they help prevent plant diseases by ensuring air
circulation.
Vegetation
To give your plants enough time to develop a strong canopy, the vegetation period should not be
more than 2 weeks. Cannabis growth rapidly increases during vegetation as the roots become
developed and plants ensure a hastened metabolism. It is important to know when to make the
change from the vegetative to the light-based owering stage as any error on your part might
cause stunted growth for the plants.
Air circulation

Getting adequate air circulation is important to your plants at this point as the leaf canopy causes
an overlap that covers the leaves below the canopy. It is also important for maintaining the wet-dry
cycle and preventing the growth of mold, algae or diseases.
Maintenance
The sea of green method having been proven to be one of the most e ective methods of
increasing plant yield without having a large plant does not require any particularly special method
of treatment. Rather, all it needs is just the regular care and attention for any cannabis plant and
ensuring light and air circulation to all the leaves which can be done by removing underdeveloped
branches and anything that won't allow penetration to the whole plant.
As with any other cultivation technique, plants under the SOG method need the same attention
and care that should be given to your cannabis plants especially while young as the highest yields
come from the healthiest plants.
Tips for Sea of Green Cultivation.
Your plants should be at an even height to allow for equal lighting.
Regularly prune your plants by removing all growth below the canopy to ensure the plants
concentrate their energy on bud production rather than growing their branches.
Di erent strains have di erent owering times, so it is important to keep an eye out for this while
using the SOG method.
The SOG method works best four or more plants and if you have too few, it won’t work. On the
other hand, the plants should not be too much as this will lead to less light for the branches below
the canopy which is also not what you want.
The cuttings used for the sea of green are usually taken from the same mother plant and should
be more than needed to pick the best as they need to be uniform in size and root mass.
Some growers believe that SOG might not be a method to use as a result of the possibility of
disease spread among the plant due to the tightly-packed structure. Also, there are cases where
limitations that exist on plant numbers or the extra amount of work to be done at the initial stage
might be the reason a grower might choose not to make use of this method.
