Thats to bad about the seeds but they are coming along nicely. I plan to do a hempy SOG after my outdoor grow is finished so Im keeping an eye on this for educational purposes. Im not sure what strain yet. Any advice?
Well, my opinions may be a bit biased because I prefer Indica or Indica dominant strains. Coincidentally, those are the ones that excel in SOG. In addition I'm restricted to around 5'-6" from the floor of my tent to the reflector raised to the max. Once again, Indica or Indica dominant is what you want. Other reasons for Indica include less lateral branching, perpentency to form one terminal cola, fast finishing, easy cloning. All these are essential to SOG grows.
For specific strains, a lot of that is towards your personal taste. If you're just starting out, I'd highly recommend a Northern Lights variety. They are easy to grow, little smell, tolerant to everything, great yields and potency, clones well, fast finisher. Everything a person wants. I've grown Delicious Seeds Northern Light Blue which is a Northern Lights/Blueberry hybrid. I would recommend this strain to anyone.
The main thing you don't want is a Sativa heavy, lanky, bushy, look at her funny and she dies kinda plant. Also, try to stay away from something that takes more than 9 weeks to flower, anything with Haze in the name. You want dense colas as quick as possible. There's a lot of O.G.s out there that are popular. Some are Sativa dominant while others are more Indica. A person can never go wrong, in my opinion, with a strong Kush.
You can go to current and closed Grow Journal sections on this forum. At the top of the page there's a "Search Tool" box. You can click on that, type in "SOG" or "Hempy SOG" and come up with a lot of very useful info, including documented strains.
Best of luck to you with your future endeavors. Don't hesitate to ask questions. We're all here to learn.
