What's the difference???

SOG is filling the footprint with as many small containers/plants as feasible while SCROG uses a trellis net/screen to allow you to weave the canopy to cover the footprint.

A net/screen is the difference. Well, sog are clones given like a week or two of veg then put in flower to get single colas usually. Scrog is training one plant under a screen. Tucking the branches under the screen as the plant branches out. You are basically growing the plant horizontally for its veg cycle. Once it fills out the screen by 70ish percent you flip to flower and you still tuck for the first two weeks and you let the plant grow through. If done right you should get 8-12 inch colas growing through the net/screen. Scrog is for people who want low plant count and sog involves more plant number. Sog is obviously more productive but I aint about to risk that shit.Theres a scrog thread on here for more info. Its in the advanced growing section. Peace.

Sog is the highest yeilding per year whereas Scrog is the highest yeild per grow and less than Sog over a year.

Find what works for your needs but scrogs are the least efficient use of light :-)

You have a third option which most of us take, veg four weeks and top at the fourth/fith node then flower. With an 8 week flowerin strain its a three month cycle.

Not as much as a Sog but a lot quicker than a scrog.

I forget what its called again, probably mentioned above, cornerstone of most of us illegals :-)

WHUT!!!! I thought scrogs were better use of light because of the even canopy. Ive seem some sogs that were unruly which messed up the light spread.

A plant vegging 18/6 for 8 weeks and flowered for 8 weeks = 1008+672=1680 hours of light used

A plant vegging 18/6 for 3 weeks and flowered for 8 weeks = 378+672= 1050 light hours used

Its a pretty significant difference if we go for yearly gpw

If we plot the yeild on a graph of a sog and then a scrog down the y axis and then time taken per grow down the x axis and then form some kind of parobolic lines between all values you will see that yeild is not exponetial to time taken and a depreciating value is had.

The longer you veg the more bud you yeild but when that total is divided by weeks taken you see less yeild per week as you increase the time taken for the whole grow.

This is that depreciating value, you also at some point eventually hit the edges of the tent meaning more upward growth and less penetration to lower bud sites and eventually the yeild in top buds will platuea off as really extended veg periods are used.

Scogs gained support from those too scared to have more than legal plant limits in a hobby thats easy to hide and contained in a small tent, idk some dress it up like its the best yeilder and most efficient, in reality its a waste of time and cannabis grows quite large in short spaces of time without having to train up for a couple of months.

Read up and look at all the different grows, decide what your needs are :-)
