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

And the Originator himself decides to share a Fluxing grow with us; The crowd goes bananas!

Might as well share an update of mine on here too. :cheesygrinsmiley::cheesygrinsmiley:

Awesome job my friend :) :)
 
:circle-of-love: Here is very active. I am coming, LD, I want to follow your nice journal, will you allow me?:passitleft:

Well I've veen feeling a little un fluxed of late! So its about time I got all fluxed up some proper :)

These girls are both by my friends at 710genetics. They are the fruity widow, which is the bigger and the smaller is the Sour white! :)
I don't ecer count dates really but these are still young. They were under cfls to start and were in tiny starter pots. They got potted up today to a mid level home and in a few weeks ill pot up again into 8 gal cloth pots. These are going to be big ass fluxes and I'm wanting over 20 oz each :) :)

If you need any help with the Fluxing technique I know a good guy who would be happy to help and they call him the Flux King. He goes by the name Light Addict :cheesygrinsmiley:

A beautiful beast you have there Dan :goodjob: It's nice to see when all that patience is starting to pay off.
 
Hey LA just wondering if your flux style or any sort of heavy LST could done effectively in a shallow pot eg about 100-200mm deep but say 400mm square? Or even 200H x 600L x 400D mm for maybe 2 fluxed plants?
Just curious as to your opinion on this; trying to design the "biggest" small grow cab possible and shallower pots would make this easier height wise... Plus mite make it easier to keep branching level.. Have only enough light at this stage for small area (2 x 130w CFL) and would like to maximise this by fluxing/training 2 plants at a time. Thinking 1 very large square pot rather than 2 large round pots for 2 plants...
This is an old debate (as some research has shown me), but as usual, with about 50/50 for/against.. Not trying to start any fights!! But you seem to know what you are doing... :thumb: so if you think/know it's not feasible then that's good enough for me!
I guess a better question is have you or any other "fluxers" tried or considered this? I'm thinking watering mite be a learning curve with such a large surface area.
Also, veg light schedule... You just use 18/6? Would you expect dramatically slower development with say 15/9? Thinking about power bills, plus maybe bit less stress during veg?? Again, just thinking about stuff I've read but can not confirm/discount.. If you haven't tried it, maybe not worth it!! Was looking at Gas Lantern Routine, but it doesn't fit with me trying to follow KISS rules.
I would be growing with coco/perlite/compost(homemade) at ratios of approx 35/35/30%, supplemented with compost tea and organic liquid ferts. Large shallow pot would be homemade from geotextile, sat on a rack with a collection tray under to catch run-off..
It's all in my head; just gotta build it!!
Done a bit of LST outdoors; wanna try indoors to see how I go (thats why crappy 130w bulbs..mate gave em to me :cheesygrinsmiley:) so not expecting miracles: it'll all be a learning curve!
Cheers for any advice you can give now and cheers for all the info (and the new vids; great to put a voice to the words) given in general!
 
Ok my friend I think a shallow trough/bonsai bed would be fine for 2 plants as long as you portioned off the root zone. Then your not going to get one plant winning out over the other! Sorry just my opinion, although a good friend who pops by occasionally experimented with a couple/few plants in one pot a d fluxed them! His name is Lattin Budder and hopefully he mifht drop some pics on here for us again if he spots this! :) Hey Lattin :)
I think with the area your on about that you wouldn't want to go monster fluxes as you would most definitely think you would get root bound. Yet for medium fluxes yohr plans would be fine :)
Oh and as for the time frame bit your just gking to get more stretch between nodes is all. With longer dark they might stretch a little quicker :) you can compensate with the repetitive opening up of the immature foliage at each growing tip! :)
 
Cheers LA forgot to ask about roots competing, and that makes sense... thinking after I wrote that that 2 large square pots at about 200mm high might be easier to deal with than 1 big one anyway. Definitely no monsters to be grown in that space (or maybe 1 at a time?), but am really hoping for 2/3 oz per plant to make it worthwhile. Not for selling or anything. Also, i'm glad I asked about lighting cos I never thought of stretch with the longer dark period! I'll try to get a photo of my little winter auto up here today, just to show you I am actually trying to grow something.. :laughtwo: Not a flux as such, but it is tied down like one, and I keep accidentally defol-ing it every time I touch it!!Still vegging after 4 weeks, it has a few pistils on it and I'm getting impatient for full flowering!! Not sure if my rough treatment or the cold is to blame for slow flowering....
Thanks again. I'll look up Latin Budder now....
 
Here she is.. Hope you don't mind..

Hey BAR that just geo cloth in a bucket ? Much easier than sewing, which is what I was gonna do... Seems to work fine for you!
 
Cool so that's a regular smart pot or homemade??
The force with this apprentice seems to be... (Yodas voice)
 
Regular smart pot
 
Nice one Baby G, Taking control back and laying the law down! Great fluxin! :)

First let me say I'm honored that the flux master remembered LB's experiment. Yes still driving by every now and then. Anyway santb as you can see from the pic I posted it can be done. The pic is of 4 clones and I did find it a little easier to flux as each clone makes it's own flux. LA makes a good point in that you don't want your muti fluxs become root bound. I'm not a good teacher or explainer but if you have any questions I can answer I would be more that willing to share my experience with the multi flux. I'm rambling due to :volcano-smiley: so I'll leave it at that. Hi everyone LB just pulled off. :goodluck:santb.
