A buddy of mine has been developing an interesting method of fitting a ton of plants into a very small space. He broke it down during a heavy toke session with one of our sativas.
Don't know if it can be done with sog.
It's incorporating the classic LST. Instead of bending them all which way though they're encouraged to bend in a single direction and grow out at a slant or even at a 90 degree angle.
The plants are also trimmed, the lower and first sets of leaves are culled back.

The pots are then placed outside of a grow space, like a grow tent and a 3" slit is made in the plastic. The stem goes into the slit, so that the flowering part of the plant is inside the tent and the trimmed, leaf-less trunks are outside the tent.

The room is now ready and can be filled like normal, http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/926/hgarden2mgrowtent.jpg
This is when things get a little time-consuming and tricky, as you have to use containers which are slightly larger in order to retain the same space that you'd normally use.
A 2-3" rectangular hole has to be cut into the bottom of each of the pots that are going to be used, and a screen has to be mended into the walls of the container slightly above the rectangular hole, in order to hold the medium and not have it fall out of the hole you've cut.

And a scoop has to be placed on the end of one or both of the rectangular hole, it will act as a detour for the run-off.

These containers will sit on top of all of the original containers, and the original plants will be LSTed to fit through the rectangular gap on the buckets above them

You should be now able to fit twice or even three times as many plants into the same space. Congrats! Most importantly, under the same amount of lights.
