How can you say it saves you money more plants = more cost in soil , food and time i have done lots of SOG grows and not talking 20 - 30 plants either lol ,, its not a good way to utilize a grow like many think first off your really only growing for top bud so to think your going to gain more is so FALSE its not even funny most sog grows you only harvest top 1/4 of plant instead of all of plant so again big loss ALSO if a plant gets sick by disease being its so cramped in there all plants have a good chance of getting it before you would notice it trust me i have seen grows get totally destroyed by the time they saw mites it was to late ...
I always thought more plants would be bigger yields and its NOT true VEG times , light power dictate yields utilizing the light , training a plant to get not just one top.. but many is KEY to a huge harvest that i why so many top a plant to get 2 - 6 main colas well imagine a plant with 20+ main colas at a light source ??? that is the key and thats is why i went away from SOGS and striclty do SCROGS 4 plants per 1000 watt and getting 3.5 pounds DRY from 5 plants vegged 5 weeks from a clone massive training and pruning
