Thanks for the feedback Jay and Backpackin! I think I will take your advice Jay and wait a while. I had another idea that would work well with waiting and also give me the foliage I want after the topping has been made. I'm now thinking to allow the plant to continue growing up to about 6-8 nodes high, then top it low. The potion that is taken off the top can be used as a clone (2 if I'm lucky) that can be rooted in a bubble cloner then quickly flowered to determine gender of this WW/Sk#1 as it was a regular freebie seed from Herbies. I also noticed that Herbies advertises the forums that he sponsors. I was disheartened when I saw that didn't make the cut. At any rate, what I am seeing in terms of rapid growth in conjunction to what donpaul.p said about his WW/sk growing in flower that the buds are forming into large single cola foot longers. This is exactly what I hope to grow from both plants. 16-18 foot long colas per plant, times 2 plants. I doubt I'll see a pound from each, especially with space restrictions and only a 400w HPS, but I'm inclined to believe that harvest of the Flux growing style coupled with The Capn's Simple Hydroponics top feed in rock wool, also using Heisenberg Tea will be very successful.
Another idea I want to bounce off you Mother Fluxers out there is to grow a plant, flux it, veg it for long periods to get a good solid base, then grow each of the branches into medium sized pre-topped plants. Me thinks it sounds logical to clone a mid vegged plant. I don't know if there would be too much foliage to support while the plant grows itself some roots to support all that, but if that detail could be worked out favorably, veg times could actually be reduced if a lot of the vegetative growth has been completed before the clone is even taken, and though time to develop a good root system would probably take longer than average, it might prove to actually shorten time spent in veg. But that's just one of many random thoughts I have.
