SOG Strains

Hi All,

Does anybody have any good recommendations for strains and breeders for a SOG grow?

Also are you supposed to chop the side branches when running sog?

Thanks in advance!

There's really no breeders I've seen that focus on sog. I used to run sk#1 sog and it was pretty awesome because it had fairly minimal side branching. My guru ran it until I gave him my cut of Blueberry indica. He went from averaging a bit under 3 lbs per 1000 watt every 60 days to averaging 3.75 with the bb. Some varieties do need a bit of trimming but generally once they start flowering I try not to touch them too much. Sog is about getting it done as quickly as possible with as much weight as possible. Plant count is important too. Some varieties may produce more when running 36 per 4x4 space and some do better with maybe 24 in a 4x4 space. Stretch is also a big factor to look at. A lot of the new hybrids have tons of branching because they were selected for smell/taste rather than plant structure. I think that's why scrog is so popular now. For sog check out some of the more classic varieties like sk#1, nl5hz, afghani ect. Akbeanbrains has a pretty great selection of older stuff. I really try not to mess with anything that has runtz, cake, or any other hyped bullshit in it. To me they're mostly genetic garbage that doesn't get me high or if it does it's for all of 20 minutes. You really just have to work with your space and figure out what works for you and your style of growing. Hope this helps you a little.

I think the Drawoh's Chocolate Thai F4 would be a good candidate because it produces big colas and a lot of larfy side branches that don't produce much of anything. Trim them off and you end you end up with just one big cola. Several of those side-by-side would be pretty amazing. I'm a few weeks away from harvest of mine and then a few more months of curing after that. But, if the flavor is there, then I'd consider running it in a SOG.

Royal Queen seeds Skunk XXL is a perfect sog strain. One big donkey bat with only a few weeks veg. Very little if any side branching. Excellent strain, cheap seeds.

Amnesia haze!Cut branches that dont reach light!I veg for 2 weeks then,36-48 hours of dark before switching to flower! Lollipop and defoliate at day 21 of flower!
