Someone has an ongoing scorg of SLH somewhere here go check grow journals but it aint a viable sog strain
thanks i'll probably stick with SOG

Generalizing, SCROG is good for helping to control the height of stretchy sativa-dominant plants.
Short bushy indica dominant plants work better in a Sea of Green with less training necessary.
But there is more to it than just that.
Sea of Green requires you (by definition) to grow a lot of plants. Typically , to ensure that all the plants in the "sea" are uniform, this is done by keeping a "mother" plant and generating lots of clones. While it can be done is soil, in practice, growing lots of plants is also typically means using automated systems for feeding and water (eg like hydroponics). SOG is probably optimal for commercial growing. It may not be so good for small individual growing especially when/if legal plant counts may come into play.
Screen of green is basically a way to try and maximize yield from ONE plant, and its probably a bit more useful for individual small growers.
In terms of strain, you're asking the question back-asswards. Any strain "could" be grown with EITHER SOG or SCROG, if you wanted to do that, though as above, some are more suited to one vs the other. The better question is "which method of growing is most suitable for the strain(s) I want to grow".
If you want to grow Northern lights or White Widow (two excellent choices, by the way), I think SOG would work better, but I'd hasten to add that you probably should get 1-2 "normal" grows under your belt first before you try to do EITHER SOG or SCROG. Training plants to grow under a canopy, or handling many small plants at once may be a bit much for someone with negligible experience in growing.
A few plants in soil and pots is probably the best way to start.

THanks for the input.. I'm doing deep water culture sog..

I personally like it the complete opposite. Jack herer IMO is a better more manageable sog stran than scrog. A ton of stretch in a scrog screen can be a pain in the ass. And in sog you can anticipate your stretch with a strain like jack herer by putting 25-40 clones right to flowering they will still end at least 2 feet tall and my jack herer yields a zip per plant or more when done like that. You save a ton of veg time and yield great and you would probably get a whole other grow in per year, with the time saved by not vegging out for a scrog.
I'll prob try white widow or rhino

That sounds like a nightmare
. How many plants are you considering for this SOG?
