Hello everyone! I'm a fairly new toker and I'm already head over heels for Mary. However, it is costing me quite a few $ and as such I want to take my newfound passion to the next level and begin growing.
After quite a bit of research on the subject I feel as though a small grow utilizing the sea of green method would be ideal given the compact nature of my intended grow space. That being said, I had hoped to collect insight from some of you who have more experience than I and specifically answers to the following questions.
- When using this method its recommended (from what I have read) that a spacing of 4 plants per sq. ft be used to maximize yield and efficiency. I'm confused as how this is possible considering I have also seen it stated that the standard for container size is 1 gallon per foot of vertical (plant) height. Even with the short plants that SOG produces this would make for some very long and awkward 6x6" pots. Does this inconsistency imply that SOG must be done hydroponically?
-Is SOG considered an advanced method? As this is my first grow I don't want to overcomplicate things, albeit I do have prior experience with plants as I am an avid gardener. Would you recommend a different type of grow?
-I live in new england and power outages during the winter are very common. How can I protect my grow from being destroyed by this? Is the any way besides purchasing a noisy generator?
Any constructive input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
