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

[MedFarmer]

Hey LA.

You should get in touch with Haynes and publish a Fluxing manual

Reps to you my friend for more good support and to BAR for getting them pictures up which will help others down the line.

 

[MedFarmer]

Just two pics and two questions.

Is it all looking okay?
Do I need to defol a bit?

 

[B A R]

You are so "in the pocket" on this one MedFarmer!

 

[Light Addict]

Med my friend
Looking damn sweet, someone has been listening really intently lol. Bloody great node numbers on the verts. You've been opening up them tops!!
Absolutely awesome job your gonna have some fat ass colas my friend!!
So on defol, just take any fans that shadow other sites, only if the nodal growth that corresponds has enough foliage to drive itself!

I think you may have to borrow some jars

 

[MedFarmer]

I'm only as good a Fluxer as my teacher teaches me to be .

I was always in it to do it properly and it's been almost 5 months of vegging Professor.

Thanks again for having my back.

Simply bind up the split with some tape and if required wire for a short time to pull all together

I tried using wire, but it's in such an awkward place that I can't really get it to close all the way and stay. It also looks like this spot has already dried out a little bit. What are your thoughts on Super Glue?? Or should I just keep it wired and leave it slightly split?

 

[B A R]

No GLUE!!!

 

[Dan Ultra]

No GLUE!!!

I had someone mention in my journal that they had good luck with it in the past. It sounded odd to me, so I wanted to double check. lol

 

[B A R]

Then maybe it's alright. I just thought like you did; Crazy Glue on plants! Odd.

 

[Dan Ultra]

Ok, how are we looking sir?? I did a little defol tonight and some adjusting. Trying to get a little more light to these nodes.

Went from this

To This

Super glue is used on humans instead of stiches. It's cyanoacrylate.

You can use it to attach live coral in tanks, but it has a funny exothermic reaction with cotton, wool, and leather, so...who knows?

Sorry, that didn't help....was interesting though

SuperGlue can be used to repair wounds ... see here:

 

[MedFarmer]

UltraDan look at this picture of my Fluxer and you can see what will probably happen to yours. All will be okay my friend.

Might I suggest putting tape or wire underneath the 2 side arms to prevent the split moving downwards?

 

[MedFarmer]

Hey Professor, should I leave these side growths on each top or have only top growth?

 

[Light Addict]

Hey Medfarmer, we leave all the secondary growth on but defol each individual secondary shoot to stunt their vert growth. Taking the top most open set of leaves off repeatedly will do this. Also if required pinch and damagee the inner tissue of the shoots just below the growing tip!
With stalled secondaries we have the base for huge colas building!
I also defol all leaves on the secondary growth that points back to that limbs main core! Remember each limb is now its own mini plant so we treat accordingly!

 

[MedFarmer]

Thanks LA that makes sense to me.

I'll pack a lunch and get going then .

 

[Dan Ultra]

How are we looking bossman??
