Well for the self pollination you need to spray a female plant with colloidal silver or silver thiosulfate from the beginning of flower so that the female grows pollen sacs and pollinates itself or other females. The resulting seeds will be feminized seeds. There are numerous people on here doing it like heirloom, Dr ziggy, feral9x to name a few. We are crossing sweet seeds dark devil Auto x ministry of seeds carnival and cks purple kush. It's an exciting time!
As for our fluxing she is in a 7 gallon smart pot. She is 3 months in so it takes plenty of patience to do it. We have witnessed what it can produce so we thought we would give it a shot. LA made it a popular style of training and it easy to control. If a top is growing faster than the others you just lower it and the others will catch up. Hope this helped bud.
