Cloning tips for vertical sea of green cultivation

You get one chance to select your clones, so make it count. Sea Of Green (SOG) cultivation thrives in a vertical farming system, however, it requires a shift in propagation thinking to make it a success. Shifting from cherry picking 30 clones to develop into large plants to selecting 3000 clones starts with having enough mothers on hand to make ideal clone selections for sea of green application. It is important the clones are uniformed in size and that the stocks are strong which are usually located towards the top half of the plants canopy. Planting runts in with your all stars accounts for the biggest grid loss in yields when it comes vertical grow decks. This critical first step requires selecting only similar cuttings heights and stem maturity thickness to avoid the smaller clones from being overtaken by the stronger plants. SOG calls for more burst work, and step one of taking clones requires many more mothers to meet the increased plant counts.
