Light Addict's Fluxing Central - Featuring The Original Flux Journal

[GardenFaerie]

Thanks LA! I knew it was something simple I forgot. I probably won't intentionally wound the plants outside, but when I go closet I definitely will. I see what you get, so I trust if I do the same I'll get the same. I'm almost looking more forward to growing in the closet than I am in outside! Ya see, I was all excited to grow outside. Now that I am, I want inside. It never ends, this loop of dissatisfaction!

 

[latinbudder]

Great lesson LA even though it hurts me when I see you bruise the limbs and I will probably mess it up the first couple of try's I'm game as I see the results you get. But DAMM it just seems unnatural. Keep up the great lessons.

 

[Light Addict]

Hey Dennise, nope it doesn't have to be done. Its just for certain plants that dont have good strong structure in the limbs. The pics above of are my GG#4 flux. She's the only girl I have with thin structure. So is the only one who will get that rough treatment.

GF I cant wait to see you kill it indoors, just as you undoubtedly will outside!

 

[GardenFaerie]

I think my problem now is for some reason I am not getting enough direct sun. The tree grew about six feet last year! Only in my yard do trees reach maturity in ten years! So I got out the pole saw and cut some limbs off the tree, but did not get any additional sun. It's so funny how I spent years trying to create more shade and now when I need sun I don't have what I want.

Ya see, the endless loop of dissatisfaction in all things!

OH, and I just saw the news confirm something I just said to Mark last night on our garden walk. This year the mosquitoes are bigger and much more aggressive and it is because of the drought. They evolved over the last ten years (says the news which is suspect) to be able to survive though there isn't a lot of moisture. Great. Now I'm covered in welts.

 

[Light Addict]

Yep the rays of the sun would aid in bulking up her build. I noticed this about plant structure when going from CFL to my HPS the newer growth uder hps is loads better than under CFL
Sorry you got eaten alive GF, they're my big pet hate!!!! I have to kill em if I hear one at nighttime, Im up again lights on untill Ive found it lol.

 

[GardenFaerie]

They don't normally get in the house, but I do put on some eucalyptus oil near my face. They are attracted to the CO2 we breath out. If you can mask that, it helps. Not these airplanes. Holy shite they are giant sized.

I was pointed in this direction by a friend, & I like what I see.
It seems I have begun this technique by accident so I'll be following your cues & looking for tips along the way.

 

[Dennise]

I fluxed up Light... I broke a limb at each end this morning. Like a dumb azz I was outside fluxing with her and my sugar was 40 and I was stupid. After I snapped them I realized I didn't feel right and got some OJ and it fixed me but not my AK flux......

 

[Light Addict]

Dennise This aint the worst thing to happen, simply put this gives you room to manipulate a limb round into this spot from the next node along. As once your happy with her length you bend some limbs back in to create the filled in center. This is done a little way in from each end as well as a couple in the center!

 

[latinbudder]

Been there, done that Dennise. Your lady won't even feel it. Keep training and don't worry. Looking good.

 

[Dennise]

Is it to soon for me to start filling her in and let her go vertical? I'm tired of this part and want something else to do but don't want to flux her up any worse than I already have.....

Thank you Latin... I really wanted one not to get fluxed up by me but guess it just isn't going to happen......

 

[latinbudder]

Well D. the good thing about the flux is "it's your thing, you can do what you want to do". I forget who sung the song but it holds true. Veg until you think it's ready. I would check with the flux master but it will produce good nugs. The only thing I would do before flipping her is let the limbs go vertical until you can't wait any more. That's what I did.

 

[latinbudder]

Next time I will let the middle grow out.

 

[AMGrows]

going good man

i plan on fluxing my clone once she roots and starts growing,

 

[Light Addict]

Dennise shes your gal so if you want to start training to fill middle in then you do it. Although by my eye you have another week min before you want to start that up. The center are easy to control as you can just tuck under other limbs and always pass each other from oopposite directions if needed to keep on the level.
Remember the longer the veg the better and this means more limbs to become foot long colas of stonking bud! She has the potential to fly past 20 OZ mark

I see what you are saying LA as I only got 4 OZ from my 2 ladys. The more veg the more OZ'S. The one's I have in veg will def get the full flux treatment.

 

[Light Addict]

Yep good veg with 8 + inches of vert! The vert also doesn't take as long as you think, as once left to go upwards everything flies along!

 

[AMGrows]

Any knowledge of plants reverting to veg LIGHT ADDICT?

 

[Light Addict]

Is this outside switching back from an early flower due to light, or an inside girl cropped and you want to re veg her?
If outside check relaxed Lester for details as he knows loads more on outside. If indoors Check Donpaul's threads out he was king of the re veg for a while.
I personally know the principles yet not had the practice!

 

[AMGrows]

Thanks Light Addict,
I've talked to Relaxed cause she is an outside girl and he said everything should be fine, it's just odd for a plant to try to flower only getting 9.5 hours of darkness,
But I will try to get in touch with donpaul just to get full details on outdoor and indoor reverting
