Default Question about Sea Of Green??
I have a a question about SEA OF GREEN GROWING.

I only want to do 10 plants just for my first Sea of Green just so I can learn. I was going to take rooted clones and put them straight into flowering.


I know that the point of having small pots is so that you can cram as many in as you can but I was wondering if I used 2 gallon pots will the plant still grow straight up and not bush out.

I am under the impression that when you use like 1 or .5 liter pots for SEA OF GREEN the reason why the plant grows 1 big cola is beacuse of the small bucket.

Is sea of green only good with small pots or will it work with the two gallons.

Whether or not your plants will "bush out." depends allot more on light intensity ,light proximity to foliage & dark period temp's ,
As for pot size's
I have seen 5ft plants grown in 1gallon pots ,
The main thing that you may notice is the smaller the pot size the thinner the stock/steam's will be.
That in turn means you may run into problems supporting bud weight on those flimsy steams.
A good remedy would be to use a mesh screen and use them to support the colas (for more info look into Screen of green which i think would work very nicely with your setup)

What up about zip tying the stalk to a stake or a poll?

youre talking about lollipopping, you cut the bottom 1/3 off the plant at 1 and 3 weeks of flowering so that you only grow the single cola, just my opinion but for 10 plants that might not be the best idea but its your grow

Yeah that would be fine, it's called Low stress training or LST if you wanted to
get some more info on it.

Some will say that doing it during flowering might not be the best idea due to the stress, but if you go slow and don't do anything too dramatic too quickly
it's not going to hermi.

Keep in mind a trained plant will usually readjust its self to the light source within 15 minutes.

I was wondering why you might not think it is a good idea. I want to do a big grow in March but before then I just want to test it out just so I can see if i can get it down with a small # of plants.

Let me know why you dont think it would be a good idea?

Thanks

just because of yield reasons, its great if you just want to try for experience reasons but if thats the case id urge you to try different methods and find out which one worked the best for you, like say take 2 and grow them normal, take 2 and top them, take 2 and lollipop, take 2 and LST them....get what im saying, experiment with different things

That would actually be a good idea.

I know what lillipop is, I know what normal is

Topping is when you chop the top off like 3 or 4 inches from the top about a week into flowering and you get 2 colas, corresct?

What is LST?

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A LOT OF TROUBLE TO DO THEM ALL AT ONCE?

no more so than just doing all one way....somebody mentioned LST already, its low stress training....basically your tie the plants down and thus the lower braches get more light and bigger buds, its just to get more out of your light and plants.
