I can´t pretend to understand your rambling.

I raised the question because the term SOG is generally used only in reference to INDOOR growing methods.

Sog.....sea of green is used for both ...bud.

You need to read more or some shat.....srry dude

Sea of green (SOG) is a method of cultivating MJ indoors, cramming up to four plants in every square foot of the limited space available. It is popular as it economises on electricity used, and reduces the risk of the detection of heat emissions. None of these criteria apply to outdoor grows, where we do not worry about either available space nor electrical power consumption.
So if you are referring to SOG you are talking solely about indoor methods. Sorry.
Err...dude.

Getting back to the question, I think two or three feet should be fine. Depending on how much they bush out. I haven't grown in years so my figures may be a wee bit off.

Sounds about right. I grow in large pots with my plants almost touching, 3 foot sounds nearly right.

Make sure you plant your males a very very very faw way away from the females ( if you plan on even letting them live )

otherwise, you can put females about 1-2 yards inline with each other

Couldn´t agree more. Keep them males MILES away. Shaking one into a plastic bag will give you loads of pollen to pollinate a branch or two on the ladies, giving you masses of seeds for next year.

good idea! how simple! i was planning on growing 1 male with 1 female away from the main grow area but now that just sounds stupid

Green First · #13 (**permalink**) 05-17-2006, 05:49 PM

Who said anything about males......there all females...no worries about that....thanks for that info guys.....ill sent out some pic alittle later for everyone to drool over....

Green First · #14 (**permalink**) 05-17-2006, 05:58 PM

also Sog method can techically be used for both, indoor and outdoor. Why you ask....because all Sog is really is planting all your plants close together...thats it....some strains are developed for this sole purpose "and there outdoor plants".....and as i was saying an earlier post ...the diadvange to this is mold and lack of Oxygen circulation...advangage....more plants more main coloas " take the tops drop the rest" If im wrong explain why SOG cant be for outdoor ....im curious...

SOG isn't just about spacing. It's about flowering many small plants quickly, rather than letting only a couple plants get large. The goal is to make up for the plants being smaller by just having a lot more plants, trying to roughly yield the same as larger plants, but much more quickly (around half as long as larger plants). I'm thinking about making my indoor grow SOG just so I have some bud to toke on long before my outdoor plants finish.

When your plants flower is really dependent on the season for outdoor growing, so you really can't force them into flower when they are young... so, SOG is really more of an indoor technique.
