I ran 300plant SOG gardens back in the late 90’s early 2000’s.
The idea was to find plants that didn’t want to branch too much or if they did, the branches didn;t stretch much and were all flower.
So for example, we chose 3 females out of several packs of the original shishkaberry
Healthy rooted clones were transplanted to 1 gallon pots of sunshine mix and given 10 days veg under 2 x 1000w halides on short movers over the 300 plant rectangle of pots.
Day 11 they were flipped to 12/12 and 3 x 1000wHPS lights were turned on along with the 2 halides. Lots of light hehe.
So 10 day veg
Those shishkaberry females we chose were ripe for the picking at 49 days of 12/12
So not including rooting time that is a 59 day cycle.
Each clone we chose to run this way had to yield an ounce a plant to be considered worth running in this fashion. So careful plant selection by testing a vigorous freshly rooted clone on the 10 day veg and flip program in a 1 gallon pot or however you want to grow it… if that clone yields a solid ounce fully cured, it’s a winner.
all that ramble said… I don’t think GG4 is much of a SOG plant but excells when grown in SCROG methods due to it’s branchy nature. In this case canopy management and under the net pruning become a full time job whereas with SOG and small plants, you don’t manage anything but nutrients, environment, pest management and light cycle. No leaf pruning or canopy management required. Hope that info helps a bit.
