The SOG is best suited for growing marijuana indoors, as it gives you more control over the environment and the light cycle. However, you can also perform the SOG outdoors if you have a suitable location and climate. You will need to follow the same steps for indoor growing, but you will have to adjust them according to the natural light cycle and weather conditions. You will also have to protect your plants from pests, predators, thieves, and law enforcement. You will need to start your seeds or clones indoors in late winter or early spring, depending on your location. You will need to keep them in the vegetative stage until late spring or early summer when the days are long enough to induce flowering outdoors. Then you will need to transplant them outdoors in a sunny and discreet spot. You will need to harvest your plants in late summer or early fall before the days get too short and cold. You will need to dry and cure your buds as usual.
