Info on S O G method......Do i got this right?

  1. So I understand the idea of original SOG method Lots of lil plants with main stems. My conclusion, and I hope its right, is that IF I had a 600w HID, I could Put a 4x4 tray down and then I have 16 square feet under the light. So SOG method calls for 2 - 4 little plants per sq ft. So if i had 64 small plants no more nor less than 20 in from the 600w HID light, I could have a harvest of 450 - 650 yield at the end??

     
  2. In theory sure, your pots would have to be small like solo cups though to get 64 In a 4x4 area. Counting chickens before they hatch here man lol.

    Is that the general Idea behind it? I was looking at 5.5 x 5.5 inches and 7 inch deep pots. So by math it will fit. I like to think that they each would harvest a qtr after drying, Do you think it is feasible??
     
  4. I can harvest about 5g dried from a solo cup grow so yeah a qtr outta that size pot is definitely possible man. It's something you're just gonna have to do and see how it goes. I can tell you you'll be watering those pots daily if not multiple times a day by the time they finish haha.
     
  5. I got free time like that, Ill let you know how it goes im gonna try with a 2x2 and see how those 16 turn out. I believe its kinda just growing branches individually?? But it seems the easiest to maintain and observe. Id really like for it too work out.
     
  6. Yeah it's still pretty straightforward growing lol. Look into root pruning, it'll help avoid your root ball getting so dense it kills the plant that can happen in tiny pots. Root pruning sounds scary at first but it's not bad once you do it man. Can't remember who did it but they pulled about half an oz dried from a solo cup plant competition we did together. He claimed root pruning helped him get it so big in the cup lol.
     
  7. I'm new to dog so be interested to compare notes I'm doing 10 lemon haze in 6 lye pots under 900led
     
  8. Yeah, It seems as the fool proof way. I am starting clones out then when they become ripe, send them in to a home built hydro set up for a week, then when a root system is stated they go in to 2.75 pot with dirt, coco, and, per lite. Hopefully this test run goes great!! What company LED?? I have been looking at Mars Hydro and PlatinumLED any suggestions ?
