ADVANCED INDOOR SOIL BASED GROW METHODS
New ways of improving your plants yield have crept up over
the years or so and some of them have become quite popular. The three
most common new types of indoor growing are SOG, ScrOG and
Cabinet growing. These are basically ways to grow seriously large top
colas.
These methods do not have to be soil based, one can use
hydroponics instead but soil is generally the most widely used medium
with these set-ups.
The idea behind these methods is that the bottom branches of
indoor cannabis plants do not catch much of the light cast from the
HID and are not that good to smoke either because they are fan leaves.
So why not create an
apparatus that concentrates on the top part of the plant. In most cases
the cola is going to produce the most bud so why not try to get that
part of the plant to grow really big. So along came the idea of SOG,
which is also called Sea of Green.
SOG
A SOG set-up can be any size but must maintain a certain
overall shape. First of all you need to grow some plants normally first.
Wait until you see flowers and then select the nicest female you can
