I gave the flux a little trim & further training tonight & soft topped the ends.

For anyone following this journal who doesn't know what soft topping is I've taken some pictures of the process. It's basically snapping off the new growth by gently bending it back.
Here's the flux & KxS#1
KxS#1 has got enormous fan leaves
Here's the daily pics of it's genetalia
And to finish, here's the babies. Toxic is on the left
I hope you enjoyed my update & I'd like to wish my American friends a happy 4th July

What's the difference between soft and regular tipping?

Same results but it's better for your plant. The new growth is soft & supple so when you bend it back it snaps very easily at the base. This point is tiny so it heals really quick & causes less stress. It also reduces the risk of infection.
Flux is looking all kinds of nice my man!

Thanks LA, do you think I've made the right choice soft topping all the ends? It's going to give me a silly amount of heads (a guesstimate of 60)

Thx for the info Skunny
Hang on a sec lol I thought it was just the flux arm ends you topped?? If you did every limb your in bother!!! Your never gonna get enough room from the base area of the plant doesn't give enough room for that many tops.
The reason fluxing works is your making the plant pelroduce one huge stonking cola per limb and your able to give all sites the exact same space light pen and airflow.
Over crowded plants are a worry for airflow and the fight against PM and Bud rot! Also looking at your grow are you won't have enough room unless Im getting you mixed up with another fluxer. (Sorry its just got so many people fluxing lol)
We can sort it though if you have indeed topped all limbs!! Were gonna have to go extreme with defol Baseman style! Check his advanced defol methods out asap if you haven't read his journals!
Ill always be here to help just holla at me on flux central anytime buddy!

Cheers LA, I'll fix it. How many heads should I go for then? 30?
Yep 30 foot long bats of bud would still give huge yield. They get big as they mature so she will bush out like mad! what is your max space for her in flower????

My current space is 4'x2' but I'm expanding to 7'6"x4' soon so space isn't an issue.
I've searched baseman & bassman & not found anything, do you have a link?

Thanks man, much appreciated, you get my vote 
I've come up with a plan of sorts & I'm building a suspended mesh scrog type frame that I can fill with 30 evenly spaced heads. I'll go & have a read through that link & see what I can learn
I've learnt a lesson today, think 1st, act 2nd

I am not able to tell by your photographs but it appears you may have removed the small branches above the fan leaves when you Topped your plant. Can you please take some clear photographs of the area where you Topped your plant?
