Contested prod. Unreferenced, non-notable cannabis growing technique. The {{underconstruction}} tag is stale. Delete. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 11:45, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Cannabis (drug) cultivation. Also the article seems to have vertical and horizontal confused. Drawn Some (talk) 17:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it appears to be notable. Please check Google Books before nominating an article for deletion next time. --Pixelface (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Two of those three books are completely trivial mentions (definition only). I'm not sure about the third. This appears to be nothing more than a technique used with "sea of green" which doesn't even get its own article. Originally when recommending "merge" I was going to say merge with sea of green but that article redirects to the cannabis cultivation article. Drawn Some (talk) 19:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- In the first book, 13 pages mention SCROG[1], and on page 112 lists ScrOG as one of the "three most common types of advanced indoor growing." From a regular search of Google and Google Groups, it appears to be a widely used growing technique. There's also this result from Google Scholar related to a patent --Pixelface (talk) 18:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- And the "sea of green" technique apparently did have its own article as early as April 2004, until someone strangely thought the term might refer to the song Yellow Submarine in August 2005 (that phrase apparently occurs twice in that song). --Pixelface (talk) 19:08, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge any relevant information with Cannabis (drug) cultivation. Otherwise, delete. Trivial mentions in two books are not enough to make this notable. Timmeh! 23:27, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. I concur with Timmeh. If "sea of green" isn't worthy of anything more than a redirect, I fail to see how this can be. HJMitchell You rang? 19:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

I simply don't think (if anyone's counting) three Merges and one Keep with comments attached to it is really sufficient debate to merge the article. If a clear consensus begins to show up in the next day or two, then I have no issue with this being closed early. One (talk) 15:36, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
