Sooperdooper Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Was reading a great grow diary a little while back with some conversation on topping and scrogging, when a member linked what he said was the best description of this technique on the forum. It was too, but of course I can't find that thread again. Err, I can remember a pic of a fan blowing hard at a little topped plant and that's about it. Just hoping that this rings a bell with someone - cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 There are going to be lots of threads on both topics on the boards. It might be able to narrow it down if you can remember any more info, otherwise it may be lost to forever and ever and ever. Maybe try and remember who was having the conversation or what was being grown in the diary, that will help narrow it down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I'd argue real SOG is not as efficient at using light spread than SCROG. Main benefit of SOG is less veg time, an experienced SCROG grower can also achieve an even canopy but with more buds, as a pose to one single cola per square per plant with no side branches. Take my last grow for example, I had way more buds than I can fit pots into my 60x60 tent. Edited March 15 by Military Grade spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 SOG sounds like a watering headache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inceywinceyspider Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Scrog yields very nicely, all those lovely lil buds, and it's an easy grow owt low risk exposure with small plant numbers it's the sensible choice. Perpetual sog will yeild more over time in the same space as the vegging is done in the veg cab so always flowering in the flower space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to go into all of the ins and outs that’s fine. But please don’t move the goalposts Atb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 @Shumroom I stand by my comment. And how is watering multiple plants less efficient than 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 In my version of this scenario there’s an automatic watering system, or perhaps each clone is in the one large bed Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Best method for SOG is lots of small plants in an automatic watering flood and drain system. Only drawback is plant numbers... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case there's the small problem of that i have no keepers/mothers (yet) In the 4 and half years i've been growing I've only grown two plants that i could hand on heart and say were keepers, but sadly i didn't have a second tent at the time My own fault tho, not being prepared and kinda love the mystery of popping seeds, But now I'm wanting something i can hold on to, Phenos of Cheese, Blueberry, Pineapple, Strawberry and Skunk taste wise, Fast-ish flowering 7-9 weeks, and most importantly a range of effects from balanced Hybrid to ko'd game over This time I'll be ready 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
