Issue #391 - Sunday, October 13, 2019
Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- "Sea of Green" is a technique for growing cannabis that significantly increases yields while also reducing the amount of time to harvest! Honestly, it's almost too much power for one grower...
- Winter is coming! Is that reference still relevant? Either way, winter is a fantastic time to grow cannabis indoors because temperatures are naturally cooler. And if you want to start growing, there's a tiny, important object you'll need in the very beginning...
- Which grow light is better, HPS or LED? It's an argument with the power to cause strife, but this grower found a different answer. So, which one is better? This grower chose the third option: all of the above!

What is “Sea of Green” (SoG)? 🌱🤔
|
by Nebula Haze
What is “Sea of Green” (SoG)?
“Sea of green” is the idea of growing many small cannabis plants instead of just a few bigger plants. The advantage is that you can get to harvest more quickly because each plant doesn’t have to get nearly as large to support the same total number of bud sites. If each plant only needs to get half as big, it takes much less time to harvest!
“SoG” (Sea of Green) refers to growing a “sea” of many marijuana plants, then putting them into the flowering stage when they’re still small.
|
Since each plant doesn’t get very big before the switch, the time to harvest time comes a few weeks earlier. However, since there are so many plants and bud sites, you get the same yield as you would from bigger plants.
These five auto-flowering plants started at the same time in this DWC setup. Without any training or special time schedules, they grew into this at harvest!
You often don’t need to do much plant training in an SoG setup, so you spend less time each week that would have gone into training if you wanted to achieve similar results with a bigger plant.
Note: To add another confusing term into the mix, ScrOG (Screen of Green) is something completely different, and involves using a screen to grow a flat canopy of buds. A lot of names for common cannabis growing techniques don’t necessarily seem all that well thought out 😉
Pros of Sea of Green
- Great yields
- Not much effort spent training
- Fast time to harvest
- Option to grow many different strains at once
Cons of Sea of Green
- More time-consuming to take care of more plants. Watering and accessing plants in the back can be tough!
- Not a good choice for growers with plant limits
- Plants are often crammed together, which increases your chance of mold or mildew if humidity isn’t under control, if there’s poor air
circulation, or if plants get too leafy.
- Some plants might grow dramatically different from the others (for example, being much taller or shorter), which can be a pain when you have a lot of plants to work with, and you’re trying to keep everything as even as possible. If you’re growing more than one strain, this can be an even bigger problem.
The setup in the picture above produced a fantastic amount of high-grade weed! However, the setup in the picture below produced even more in much less time!
These plants were in the vegetative stage for about half as long as the plants in the previous picture, AND they had significantly higher yields!
How does one make a sea of green?
It's pretty simple! Just grow a bunch of small plants in a tent!

How to Make Your Own Sea of Green!
A Successful Sea of Green
Starts with Good Genetics!
|
As you probably know now, the Sea of Green method finishes faster than standard growing, and the yields are second to none!
If you want to do Sea of Green right, start with good genetics, and start from seed so that the plants are (hopefully) around the same size.
I highly recommend using a seed bank to buy high-quality genetics from a trustworthy breeder. If you're going to spend the next few months growing, you should make sure that you LOVE the weed you get at the end :)

"I started growing medical cannabis five years ago to help my father who has ALS. Since then I have referenced your site countless times and I thank you very much for all the assistance!
The results help him with pain, insomnia, anxiety, depression and so much more. I truly believe he wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for this medicine. Here’s a look midway at a grow from this past summer. Mendo Breath, Sour Diesel, and Salmon River OG. Thank you again!"

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
