Can the Sea of Green (SoG) work outdoors?

I'm guessing no, but it's worth asking

hmm i'm not dure theoretically it would work but u're yield would be tiny and u cant guarantee a sunny cloudless day every time
not to hijack the thread or anything but:
using the SOG method do u nute all the way thru or do u jus let it go naturally

 

[2k8bomb]

How much less would it be? And I thought you were supposed to nute all the way

No, because you don't have control over the day length.

No, because you don't have control over the day length.

i think he means he's gonna bring it back inside to cut the light cycle to 12/12
but if it's too late they wont get enough light anyway

You can prematurely force flowering with an outdoor grow in peak summer when days are more than 12h long, either by covering the plants for an appropriate number of hours a day or indeed, by trotting them indoors. Sounds like a right pain in the ass.

I suppose that with some genuine heroics, you could pull off one or two SoG crops outdoors between spring & late autumn, but that really defeats the main purpose of SoG, which is constant output year-round in indoor grows.

so let me get this straight: this is how u do SOG
1. grow out some of your best mothers until they have multiple branches
2. DO NOT put into flower
3. cut clones from it
4.don't cut too many clones or kill the mothers let them regenerate
5.put clones straight into flower
6. put out new clones every two weeks into flower
7. grow some more mothers using clones
8. harvest every two weeks
9. repeat
Is that about right?

Spot on, 100%!

so how much shuld i expect per plant per week? when the wheels are fully in motion?

It depends on the amount and intensity of light source, the air quality, and what you feed them.

There is a way for you to enable a SOG outdoors, just buy an auto-flowerer seen here:

Depends on your lighting. I get 1-1.25z per SoG plant with 1000HPS in cooltubes.

Typical budstalk


yielded this wad of buds, about 1z when dry

 

[smartsoverambition]

that's better than i expected i was expecting like a 1/4 o every two weeks
but so nute all the way and can u use LST and super croppin in SOG?

 

[Al B. Fuct]

but so nute all the way and

Yep, nutes to harvest day.

can u use LST and super croppin in SOG?

Not really. SoG depends on flowering a large number of small plants. Cuttings are flowered immediately after they set root, no veg time.

Tying down large plants means they have to be vegged before flowering. Tying plants down is a bit of SCRoG-like dicking around, too. Sounds like work.

If you have to veg the plants you're going to flower, this prevents you from doing a continuous/rotating harvest in a single space, which is what SoG is designed for. Floorspace which could be dedicated to flowering will have to be spent on vegging.

Get proficient at cloning and bob's yer uncle.

can i use black berry jam and maple syrup to help make my plants dank if i have them under say like 12 xenon headlights i stole and power them with a solar panel because i dont want my electricity bill to go up because my mom will seee that and find my super dankelicious plants and i dont want to get grounded ? but especially i want to know about the black berry jam . because my friend already grew tonnage with foglights from a ford pinto he is a super w33d b4rr0n

 

[Al B. Fuct]

phinx, you're SUCH a card.
