Light Addict: LA's Perpetual Garden

Yup my friend, we map out a perfect form of flow. Every other node you remove (under over sitting). As long as you let the main growing tips face the light constantly (tether an inch or 2 away from tip) then the nodal spacing isn't that much. This gives room to map out everything perfectly. Also once reaching the size you want, you must top each main limb a last time. Let these 2 resulting branches grow out. Then manipulate one of the shoots to be the end branch. Let it sit half inch above all others to gain dominance. Let the plant build 6-8 inches of vert growth, So each main flux arm as I call em has a slightly higher end branch.

The reason we top each main flux arm is simple. The whole plant will then have every single branch the same girth and structure. Otherwise the balance is off for uptake. Having all sites exactly same build/girth etc is key as is all sites having same space for the same light penetration and air flow.

The ends sitting higher is for my feeding loop for a flux that is explained a few pages back in detail
You’re too kind. I’m going to go back and check out some of the flux stuff. If I simply do that it’s likely all my questions would be answered. Duh.
 
Yep Fluxing is my own step on from mainline tech. Mainlining you top multiple times to get similar result. A 2 arm flux is topped only 3 times even if it was 150 limb plant.


yeah, mainlining wasn't nearly as involved. also you chose which node to mainline based on available height. it's not as clean as what i see going on here.

are you the guy that trained a plant into the snoop dog graphic ?

Show him the Death Star!!!!
 
Looks hard to water once the branches are allowed to grow up. 🤔
Lol that's what watering cans or funnels are for 👍



 
sooo ...no snoop dog lol :p
Yeah, that was Brother Light Addict that did the Snoop plant. Here's a shot from one of his journals:

Jon lol... Here are some screen grabs via Google. All this shown is in my back catalogue listed in sig below

Deathstar of bud 1m hollow globe from 1 plant. No cage just woven
I never cease to marvel at this. And you did this with no cage? No Death Star frame? My god man. The patience that must have taken. Unreal.

Yup no cage or any structure, just woven against herself. Worst bit was as she took about a year to grow. I had my landlord visit twice. So had to take her down and pack her up both times. The second time I actually bin bagged top and bottom and had to run her half mile round corner on foot to my mates to hide her up. Did it in broad daylight middle of the day. The more blatant the less people take note lol
Each time it took a good 3 hours to take down and about 5 hours to get her back up and back to shape.
I must of been bloody bonkers.....

there's a sitcom episode in there .. :p
 
So, things going along slowly but steadily. Growth is bouncing along through stretch. My height limitations are getting to the point where I'll have to train things up again.
All good fun 😂

Have some pics


I note the bow in the middle where there’s no light directly above. Fascinating.
 
Well folks stretch did what it says on the tin lol. Things got a bit cramped to say the least with plants at lid level.
So thought I'd do a wee training session on them. Got a cpl of inches back to play with and I can easily create more room if required.
All I do if things get out of hand is cross over limbs. So branches sit at angles and in turn sit lower. It's quite simple.

Have some pics my green fingered friends

What’s the red light on the wall above?
 
My main light lol. LED panel for shelf style growing. It sits attached to the lid of the box, so is mostly out of shot when taking pics. I'm running that and the 2 white led bulbs are my secondary lighting.
Lmao! First time I’ve seen the main light in a picture. Probably just missed several. I was wondering how the hell those two little lights were creating all that growth. Lol!!!
