Hi LA,
I just wanted to let you know how much your thread has inspired me. Awesome display and documentation of your technique, and how to manage it into well shaped monster plants.
I have been puzzling over this for some time actually. I have played with pinching the tops on my plants for years, and have created some very nice bushes, but I knew there had to be a better way to send some of the initial energy horizontal instead of vertical. This time one of my clones acted up and produced one of those low double branched plants, and at the same time, another plant having been pinched, was taking off vertically as some do, and instead of trying to deal later with a 5' plant, I decided to use my scrog and lst skills to tame this gangly girl in veg. In both cases, essentially I had begun to flux.
I was proud of myself... Emmie was innovating, making good things happen in the tent to maximise production, solving problems on the fly. Then I found your thread on Fluxing. lol. It had a name! And then I realized, you had it all layed out, how to do it right, and clearly explained. My future problems and how to best shape these plants was right there in front of me.
Thank you LA. You have made this easy for me. I am sort of laying out a scrog screen in the container using binder clips and twine, but thanks to you it has become less random and I can now clearly see the shape that I want to achieve.
