Welcome to my grow! I have always wanted to try the sea of green method, I like the idea of maximizing space and resources while cutting down veg time, therefore increasing flower production per year. Not only will this be my first SOG but my first journal as well! The goal with this grow is to dial in the SOG method while also reconstructing my grow space. Right now we are working out of a 8x8 tent with 2x BestVA DC 2000's over a 4x6 tray with 1200 PPM Co2. While i like the setup of the tray and plant count, I noticed the 8x8 tent is completely inadequate to work out of. I will be keeping the same setup but switching over to two 4x8 tents and upgrading my lights to 2-3x Spider Farmer SF - 2000's. I don't want to deal with AC and would like to stagger 5ish week harvests! Regardless, I think we'll all have fun here. The strain is Purple punch, I wanted to keep a nicely structured Indica for this grow try to keep it as uniform an sexy as we can! The nutrients we will be working with are House and Garden, I've been riding it out with these guys since the start. Mid tier pricing with amazing results. We'll be playing around with additive's I have a friend that swears by liquid kool bloom so we're going to give it a go. I'm really looking forward to this one please chime in with the comments lets keep it interactive!

Pretty standard operation with the EZ Cloner. I've been following the same recipe of Hormex, UC Roots, and Clonex with a 95%+ success rate. I cant stress enough how important an intermittent timer has been. 1 min on 4 minutes off. Will share more in depth next batch.

Big week of transplant, I picked out the sexiest 32 for our project the rest will be donated to friends an family. I didn't measure the feed, just filled up the a 40 gallon reservoir we'll dial it in as we go. My plan is to veg for 7 days then flip to 12/12, every plant should be about 10-12 inches before we stretch. I'm contemplating splitting the grow up for trial and error. I may lollipop and try the "One Bud" technique on half of them and let them naturally grow out with a little defoliation on the other side. Please chime in if anyone has experience with "One bud" training!

Pretty standard week, just letting things grow. Next time I will know to pick more uniform clones. On 5/20 when I flipped to flower the tallest plant was 12” and shortest being 5” so we will see how it turns on. Learning experience either way. Just need to get a new fan for the tent and the lights are coming. So far so good.

Maybe I refer to it as something else but I did a video grow journal for a Chinese led company, now the plant got beat to shit because of howuch heat their cheap product out out, but the entire plant was lillopopped to a pretty extreme extent of that's what ur talking about with the "one bud" training, it does work, I believe I put pictures on here, just started this site so everything is in disarray right now, but 4 blurple LEDs 900w total supposedly, ended it with 2lb + off 1 bag seed plant

@Unreal207, I checked sf out when I was looking to switch over but honestly, at the time I couldnt even afford one of those, looking forward to seeing that punch blow up on ur grow. Just posted a couple pics of a purple beauty that came out of nowhere, def the black sheep, honestly it kinda makes me wonder, both of them from the same batch of seeds same order same everything, and I'll put pics of em both up now that I'm thinking of it. Only dif is ones in dwc ones in soil. Fed same everything, wanna see some crazy shit tell me what u think I'll put em on week 11 I think it is, I'm lit rn so I'm rambling but this shits like been bothering me almost😂😂😂

@ThEm4DSc13_TiSt, My plan is to get some of those spider farmer - 2000's. I was going to get the 4k but i figured it would be better light distribution with more lights just as much output. They have the same samsung diodes as the Gavita LED's. Really killer budget product tbh. Link at the bottom is the "One Bud' tutorial that I was going to follow. Will let 16 grow naturally an do the other 16 like this an see what I get for results. This is my first time flowering this purple punch as well. I'm basically testing that technique as well as getting a feel for the strain. I have good expectations, I may even push for another manifold if space permits it. 5 rows of 8 https://free-the-tree.com/indoor-growing/types-of-culture/one-bud-tutorial/
