Medical Marijuana Grow Guide – Methods

Style of Growth


Sea of Green (SOG): Sea of Green is an indoor growing style utilizing small plants grown from clone and put directly into 12/12 to induce immediate flowering. They are kept very close together, with only about a square foot per plant maximum. The result is a room full of plants entirely made up of single colas, with a possible perpetual harvest.

Screen of Green (SCROG): A method using fewer, larger plants which are topped or FIMed and then trained under one large net that covers the entire canopy. The net keeps the plant in a profile that gets the most light to the majority of the plant. Eventually, the plant will burst through the net, and the end result is a bunch of colas poking through the net.

Au natural: Those who don’t want the numbers of a SOG or the trouble of SCROG can simply veg their plants for as long as they have room to, top them early, and let them naturally grow into bushes. The only caveat with this style of growing is to be sure to leave enough room so that the plants will not be blocking each other’s light when they reach full size.

Ideal conditions

The ideal conditions for most cannabis plants are 75 degrees F and 50% humidity.

Make sure that the light is distributed evenly between all of your plants.

Try to avoid hotspots by using better reflectors or more lights.

CO2
Adding additional C02 helps make up for the fact that, since you are growing indoors, there isn’t a constant flow of fresh air to your plants. Because the C02 around the leaves is used up very quickly, it needs to be replaced. Adding C02 artificially can make it so that not only do you have enough C02, you have more than enough. This will speed up the rate at which your plants do everything, including using up nutrients, so take that in mind. Ideally, your parts per million (ppm) of C02 should be between 1000 and 1500.
