For a sog in a 2x2 what size pots should i flower in and how many? Also will it be ok if i take clones and flip when plant is 8inches
If you’re shooting for a straight up sea of green setup, I’ve used 2 liter drink bottles with the necks cut off of them. You can really rack them in tight.
^^^ @Highest1 . See above post about size of pots. It’s just a suggestion, but works.
I can get 16 6" square pots into my 2x2. The model i purchased is a little shy of 6" though, I think they measured at about 5.75" and was a pretty tight fit.

I started my first SoG experiment a couple of months back in a 2.3x2.3 Spider Farmer tent.
This is 12 - 1gal bags and technically 4 little 4" plastic pots basil plants came in.
I ended up moving the 12 bags to the 2x4 - was worried about WPM or bud rot forming - this is about 5 weeks since flipping at 3.5 weeks in the gal bags.
The top of the PVC pipe in 15" from the bottom of the tent.
Each plant has no less than 5 or 6 good tops. I thought originally i had a couple with less but i can’t find them now. I guess other good shoots emerged that I let grow,
This grow, so far - knock wood, has been so easy I’m thinking of growing a mother in the 2.3x and just running SoG in the 2x4 constantly.
If I can make it to the end without screwing it up the yield will tell me.
In conclusion - if you’ve got a good root mass built up on the clone you can flip whenever you want. Remember, flowering comes at the end of a growing season, if you don’t have good roots you won’t have good shoots!!
Technically, the plant itself is mature, assuming it was taken from a proven female. In the case of clones it’s the roots who are the new kids on the block.
At any rate, plant size doesn’t really matter - that’s your call. But, ultimately, the root structure will decide what you grow.
Mycos is your friend…
Happy Growing Everyone!!!

The clones were cut on the 26th or 27th of September and it took about 2 and a half weeks to get roots on all of them. They went into the gallon bags on the 12th of October and I vegged for about a month, flipping to 12/12 on the 10th of November.
They were taken from a plant in pretty heavy flowering so I didn’t really have to top as they were sending out shoots at every node already. I just cut out weaker, lower shoots to get more juice to the bigger, more robust ones. And as far as training I just guided the shoots to a open square in the trellis support. I’ve done a little stabilizing and nudging here and there with some bread twisties. LOL! Just enough to get a bud off another, etc.
Honestly, I probably could have flipped a couple of weeks earlier as I used Mycos when planting and the roots went nuts.
About 2 weeks after the flip my flowers were starting to form and that’s when I consider flowering to start.
They’re on Jacks 321, Mammoth P about every other watering, and Silica Plus. Added MKP when flipped and they’ll get a dose or two of Recharge and FishShit at next watering, they just arrived today in fact.
I’m letting these go hard and heavy into the amber before i cut and plan to take colas as they’re ready and not just taking the whole plant at once.
I’m in no rush.
edit: I should mention - these are ILGM Super Skunk clones.
