1. what does that mean??

2. i need to flower my plants as if i veg them any longer they will be too big for my wardrobe!! has anyone got any tips on trimming them before i flower them? or topping? im not familiar with either practice but iv heard i can increase my yield, iv got just over 3 square foot with 4 plants. :-?

nice one guys
oright

SOG is a style of growing instead of having a couple big bushes as plants with a SOG "Sea Of Green" youll have the same amount of space but with a bunch of little plants 9-12 IMO is good for a 250w HPS but you dont want to vegg to long and if you do you can alwasy lollipop them .. just read up a little more browse other journals get an idea or ask more questions you will be helped...

if you already got your plants going and you have 4 might as well top them and depending on how old they are you could start Low stress training..
check out Topping and fimming!
ask around my opinion is only mine others have there own..

How many plants in a SOG setup do you guys think I could fit under a 250 watt? I have a 4.5 feet tall, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep flowering box. I'm thinking of trying six but I don't know if the 250w will give them efficient lighting. Anyone have any experience in a sog using a 250 watt? Thanks a lot clubbers, this is def the best club on RIU
6-9 for starters.. 12 at the most and 6 at the least for SOG other wise might as well grow some bushes..

12 plants harvesting 4 1/2 zips under a 250w in a 24" x 20" box and the plants were about 20 inches in 1 gall pots.. sour bubble strain

Thanks Doobieus, i was leaning towards that idea (dual 250s) myself. I would be saving like almost 80 bucks, so good thing there too! lol
Lol yeah can't save enough cash these days that's for damn sure lol.

This was my first documented harvest on this site lol, 2 plants both under 2 feet tall. Not SoG style, just super cropped and slight LST. Never got the full weight but when I was done I had almost 4 full jars. Don't know exact weights because well, I think I lost my scale or broke it or something, had to order a new one and well I got impatient lol. However I can usually fit about an ounce per mason jar.



Boy is my room smelling fruity.
Yummy yummy yum dude, looooove fruity strains :weed::hump: (Lol the hump guy looks like it's violating the licking one, totally didn't mean to do it but it's funny so I'll leave it lol.).

Doobs,
On a more serious note.At the end of the grow do you give the plants any extra dark time before you chop em.I have read about the last 48 hrs should be no light:!:
24-48 depending on how close I am with my harvest window. I harvest in the dark too, because the remainder of the nutrients/water go down into the roots during dark period. It's kind of like an extra super duper flush, because even though you flush you want to make sure there is no residual. This is of course how I understand it, with soil. Not sure about hydro but I don't think it would be that much different of a concept really.

Some say that you should harvest a couple hours after lights on, but harvesting while off makes more sense to me logically, so I stick to it.

Hope this helps.
 
3x3 yes thats feet im not to familiar with auto flowering plants but you can SOG 9-12 plants easy stick with an indica shoot for single colas ... talk around i know some people in here used auto flowering plants before..
Asked around but still dont have any idea :( If anyone has a rough guess let me know, Will be getting ten beans, just want to know how many to germinate? I will only have a 250w as anymore will overload the sockets ;) Lots of computers in here you see.

I was thinking 4 plants, just because of there size?

Many thanks.
