I am thinking I may follow your lead (and Light Addict or course!!) and try my hand a fluxing the new girls in my big grow. Try to make them BIG.

Hey Dennise
I actually didn't do any type of flux on these girls... I just used LST and heavy defoliation.... with a flux you have to take off all the alternating arms (over and under) and all the foliage to the tips till it fills in... but I just take my pipe cleaner thingys and put the limbs where I want them to try and achieve as level a canopy as possible and then I strip em' naked as a Jaybird and let the middle fill in with bud sites before flipping the lights to flower.... With the flux it sorta has to do with the way the energy flows to make all the limbs like a main cola... they way I do it just opens up the center to the light for more bud sites and is not quite as labor intensive nor does it take quite as long to fill in IMO... My girls are in 7 gallon pots and have been in veg for a little less than 2 months... the only flux I have done... it took 4 months in veg to fill in... now mind you the harvest was massive but I like to just bend and tweak em' to my will and let em' go... I also do heavy defoliations at day 21-25 and day 45 of bloom.......
Ok
My current girls are non fluxed and simply spanned out with LST and defol. They will be far bigger in area than any flux would be, for a similar yield etc. With fluxing you do indeed want a 5 gal pot minimum as it does mean a little longer veg. Yet my current pair of fluxes are like five weeks old and are in 1.5 gal pots still. They are already on 14-16 limbs and will need that extra veg up to 10-12 weeks to get to a decent size where the pay off scale tips to the fluxes side of things
Simple LST is easier and quicker, yet you don't get that total control that you do with fluxing. I'm now after this run just going back to fulltime fluxin
Super be aware of the time you have to do with both technic. I know my girls are been in veg for about 3 months way I been doing mine. I sick at planning.
Thanks 7. These girls are about 2 days old so far. I have 4 girls of varying ages in the flower tent so I have plenty of time to work with these 2.
What Light said and all I have ever done was follow your lead when it comes to training my girls.... The flux was awesome as far as yield but it worked me as far a perfection... I have that OCD thing that made me constantly mess with it and when I broke one of the arms I was twisted all up for days soooo the LST is much more forgiving..... and I wish for the day I will see you bounty Sir........Ok

You have no idea what Light just said.......I agree with yall. Lmao.
You really should do it at least once.... I did it on a girl last spring outside on a AKxWW I think it was but the harvest was one of my best for sure.....To flux or not to flux. That is the question.
Not only are you sick at planning..... You suck at it too.......Super be aware of the time you have to do with both technic. I know my girls are been in veg for about 3 months way I been doing mine. I sick at planning.
I don't top my girls like you do though.... You like to top em' and clone em'... I like growing from beans for some reason.......What I did take 2 to really nip them to grow way I wanted it to get row. But it takes a lot time . Or I'm just picky.
