Re: Watch This Flux - 1st 420 Outdoor Fluxing - Presents Fluxy Lady - Fully Restraine
I started doing something similar to this technique around 2012 winter -2013 spring in 3 Gal Square Pots but didn't know anything about Fluxing or if the name existed then. I was just using it as a way to keep my plants small for 2 months while the flowering tent was in use. I still do the same now because of limited vertical space , and this is my main reason why I would want to flux. I purposefully have to stunt my plants to keep them shorter, and if any parts of the top of the plant gets too big/tall, or seems out of proportion it get's the pinch between the fingernails or cut. I guess the main reason for flux is to keep training bushy growth or horizontal growth vs. vertical growth, until the desired amount of nodes is reached and flowering is desired I assume. Assuming you keep the plant at about 1 foot tall, and they grow 1 ft to the left and then 1 ft to the right along the flux arms , then you would fill a 2ftx2ftx2ft square space (pot size is 12 inches tall+12 inch plant). Assuming these dimensions, you could get 1 foot high spear colas growing from every branch node? Or whatever height they finish between 2-4ft tall measuring from the ground. So the ideally spacing between colas along the flux arm is what? You take out every other node, but maybe the spacing is closer or less depending on strain, and training abilities, mistakes, style. Also the nodes don't just all grow on the top of the branch, they can be on the underside, or to the left or right of it varying degrees. So ideally keep all the nodes that are facing up. I am learning still and hope this help anyone else learning.
My scrog net has reach through spacing of 6 inch squares. Ideally to get 1 big Cola per 6 square inches, then in a 2ftx2ft tent: 16 squares, each square is 6 square inches. The squares look like 4x4 since there are 4 squares per row and 4 rows total = 16 big colas. Another idea is to grow 16 small plants straight up with 1 big cola per plant. Or 4 plants with 4 big colas per plant, or 2 plants with 2 big colas. You can use this to scale with bigger tents, like a 4ftx4ft tent you multiply by 4x=64 big colas per 6 sq inches. Or an 8ftx8ft =256 big colas per 6 sq inches.
Just an example of one of my plants. It's not exactly a good example of Fluxing compared to Light Addict, but this is what I have been doing before ever learning about Fluxing, since I still have to do the Y at the start or a T whatever shape. If flux lines are straight roads, and you need roads, then my roads are all curvy and the intersections are not perpendicular
This is not one I'm trying to salvage into a real flux, just an example of my style as I'm sure everyone has their own ideas on Fluxing. Anyway, any advice or tips are welcome and awesome thread already in 1 week.

thanks for clearing this up LA!
