Cannabis training techniques are used by the best growers, both professional marijuana growers and amateur enthusiasts. There are many cannabis training techniques, as well as its cultivation. Growers are eager to use modern solutions that reduce the need to buy special equipment that consumes large amounts of electricity or the need to use fertilizers, especially in indoor cultivation. SOG, ScrOG and LST techniques allow for obtaining satisfactory results. What are the characteristics of these methods and how to perform them?
What is the SOG technique
Cannabis cultivation techniques - view of the seedlings
Sea Of Green is a method whose main assumption is to obtain the largest possible number of plants per square meter, usually from 12 to even 32 pieces. In indoor growing conditions, the shortest possible vegetation period is used (from 2 to 4 weeks), thanks to which the plants are not tall and the entire cultivation process does not take long. Using this technique, the yields turn out to be more satisfactory than they can be using other techniques. The essence here is the choice of the variety - the best will be one that does not "stretch" but at the same time produces a solid main top - these conditions are mainly met by strains indica. Growers spread the net over the seedling, so that you can control the even growth of all shoots to some extent. Thanks to the mesh, you can get an even canopy, and each shoot receives the right amount of light and air.
The choice of the size of the pot is an individual matter for each grower, as it depends on the number of plants and the space that can be used. It should be remembered that SOG cultivation can be demanding. It is necessary to maintain the right climate, watch the plants very carefully, as it is necessary to trim leaves and/or branches to increase the airflow of the plant. Thickets and lack of proper air circulation increase the risk of diseases or pests, which can quickly spread from one plant to the others. SOG is also a very effective technique in outdoor cultivation. The best for this purpose seem to be autoflowering varieties - preferably short, with a short vegetation time)
What is the ScrOG technique?
Screen of Green SCROG technique) is one of the simplest, but at the same time most effective indoor cultivation training methods. Its assumption is to shorten the upper branches and raise the lower ones so that they are on the same plane. For this technique, a special net is required, through the holes of which the cannabis branches are placed. It must be mounted parallel to the pots placed. A big advantage of using ScrOG is the low risk of damaging the plants, which is why it can be used even by beginner growers. Thanks to the use of the net, the cannabis has access to light, and air reaches every branch evenly. This allows you to obtain plants of similar size. This arrangement provides greater resistance to mold formation, and also makes maximum use of the available space. Scrog technique allows you to maximize the yield on a given area.
ScrOG can be used on plants that will reach a certain height. The net should be mounted approx. 20 cm above the base of the seedlings. When the stem grows at least 5 cm above the mesh, you can start interweaving it. Auto marijuana seeds, as well as OG Kush strains, Green Gelato, Strawberry Kush and Silver Haze they will be great for growing with the ScrOG method. Also remember to regularly remove the leaves at the base of the pot, thanks to which the canopy will develop faster and be more effective.
What is LST training?
Low Stress Training, that is LST technique it's called low stress training. It is a similar method to ScrOG. It is used to increase the number of buds. The plant should be tied up by bending the growing stem downwards. Thanks to this, the grower has the ability to control and form the plant as needed. Thanks to this, you can get the best possible yield of seedlings. LST technique the best results will be used for so-called slot machines - for example Jack Herer auto.
Marijuana training allows you to effectively increase their amount and provide seedlings with better conditions for development. Regardless of which technique the grower chooses, you must remember to take care of the plants by providing them with the right environment for growth - regular watering, fertilization and ensuring proper humidity.
