SOG or Sea of Green growing depends on the high density of plants to create uniformity in the harvest or crops. In this technique which is often grown in a hydroponic media, only the seeds of the fruits or plants are harvested. Containers are used to compel the distribution of flowers and plant material as well as their exposure to lighting and atmosphere. SOG is popular with commercial growers because it minimizes the amount of time a plant spends in the vegetative stage. This technique also allows very efficient light distribution, thus, keeping the plants much closer to the lights. However, the individual plants grown with this method typically give smaller yields than those grown with other methods. A SOG nutrient is also used to supply the essential nutrients that plants need in order to grow in full size.

For both soil and soil less growers who wants to use this method, this can be very tedious for you since you will have to take care of each individual pot regularly. In a 4'X4' area, you will have at least 32 plants. You will have to attend to all these plants especially when you start watering them. To make the SOG nutrient enter the roots of the plants using water and a growing media, you must incorporate an automatic watering system that can water your plants daily. This is also done to make sure that they receive the appropriate nutrient solution.
