Top 5 autoflower cannabis strains to grow in a SOG

Can you grow autoflowering cannabis seeds using the SOG (Sea Of Green) method? Yes, you can! The length of the autoflower vegetative growth period can’t be manipulated as it can be with photoperiod feminised seeds. But some autoflower strains lend themselves particularly well to the SOG method with fast flowering and compact growth. In smaller containers these strains grow a dominant central bloom with little side growth. These SOG-friendly autoflower strains are listed below along with the reasons they are a great match for any SOG grow you are planning. If you are new to the SOG method, the following in-depth SOG guide will be useful background reading.

Best autoflower cannabis seeds to grow in a SOG

The SOG method of cannabis growing involves packing plants together in small containers (e.g. 5-10 litres) to restrict growth of side blooms/side branches. This produces the bulk of the buds on a single main bloom. When growing with autoflowering cannabis seeds, such containers would often produce plants less than 50cm tall with a dominant main bloom.

Often growers will use the SOG method to squeeze high plant numbers into a small grow space. Side growth/branches will typically be removed. However the best autoflower seeds for SOG tend to naturally adapt to the smaller grow containers and focus growth on the main bloom with only limited side growth.

Some autoflowering cannabis strains are more suited to SOG cultivation and SOG conditions than others. When growing autoflower seeds, the best SOG strains will thrive in smaller containers focussing the bulk of their bud production on a sizeable main central bloom with minimal side growth. Many commercial growers use the SOG method to produce multiple crops each year with fast grow cycles. Using autoflower seeds, each crop cycle (seed to harvest) may be complete in as little as 10 weeks.

The downside of an autoflower SOG grow is that you will need plenty of autoflower seeds to get started - meaning you will need a cannabis seed supplier that you can trust. Some growers may feel slightly uncomfortable/paranoid with the high plant numbers required by a SOG grow.

But when done well, an autoflower SOG allows particularly high yields of top quality buds from a relatively small grow area with a fast crop cycle. Harvesting is often very easy with little manicuring and usually just a main bloom to trim. So if an autoflower seed SOG grow sounds interesting to you, then the following strain recommendations will deliver the best results.
