That’s a salient point, but I would probably argue that in coco I would fill his identical space inside of 60 days. Same difference to me. I’ve also never done it and now we have this awesome tutorial. Imma try it sometime.
Don't go with a double nodes quad. FIM ya plant and get 4 limbs off one node to keep it a proper flux
When I find a girl worth cloning, I'll prepare 2 headed clones.
Ha! Thanks! And okay, but won’t I end up with a diagonal line of buds across the tent that way? Or you think all those spaces can be filled with two and a regular flux? I realize that what I suggested is really nothing more than a low quad.Don't go with a double nodes quad. FIM ya plant and get 4 limbs off one node to keep it a proper flux
Also, do you think FIMming is better than simply topping? My experience with FIMming is that sometimes you get more than two and sometimes not. Topping is always the same and predictable?Ha! Thanks!

Wow. This will be an awesome display of high level training. You only have 5” to the light? And from now until harvest in that space with just 5” you’re going to control it, not overgrow it, not burn it, and bring it all the way home? Think that will happen without even foxtailling her?Well, let's talk hormones.
I don't count 12 12 till second 24hr, simply as I take into consideration the shift in hormone levels taking a day to take hold. Hormone levels etc are of big interest to me as it's the basic understanding of our beloved plant at its purest.
I've 5 inch to lighting at mo, I can drop level another 1-2 inch across the board. Any plant so close to lighting source will show any issues way quicker and stronger. So you have to dial in fast. This obviously is my 1st run in this space.
So, I'll have to mess with the plants systems. Part crushing of top nodes will happen shortly I'm guessing lol. This shifts focus from vert development to bushing out of flower sites.
Have some pics 1st day into stretch.
Oh and selective defol is my other weapon.
The pics show at least 50 flower sites hidden by foliage. So tucking away is also key.
Lol, first run in this space/setup. Yet I got my titles here mainly for small space grows.Wow. This will be an awesome display of high level training. You only have 5” to the light?

I’m so
I get that! I understand how the methodology can be engaging for people suffering war trauma too. It's like bonsai or art, a meditation of sorts.This is my idea of fun
You speak my language! Which neck of woods are you in L.A.?
I’m honored with the extremely detailed answer as well as your willingness to give a little piece of yourself. Thanks.Lol, first run in this space/setup. Yet I got my titles here mainly for small space grows.
I'm not saying I won't find it a challenge, yet this is what I love. If I'm not pushing myself I'm bored. I don't like easy growing. I become simply uninterested.
This is my idea of fun
Foxtailing ain't an issue. Light burn ain't either. If the plants are healthy I'm good.
Training em up to deal with the space limitations is my happy space so I'm not worried on that either to be honest. I'm not even thinking of stalling em yet with defol etc. 1 inch from light and I'll worry.
Thanks to all who take an interest in this little grow. It's one of my smallest ever. Yet I had a guy years back who thanked me for Fluxing. He lived in a country where he'd lose his life if caught growing (middle east) somewhere. He suffered from MS I believe, (could be wrong it was years back)
He was able to do a grow for his own meds, change his life dramatically. All in the space between his floor boards and the floor bellows ceiling.
Having something like that told you is humbling to say the least.
The other story on Fluxing that got me is an old pal on here. Had a big role in a rehabilitation clinic for veterans in the US. People who had lost limbs and were damaged mentally after what they went through.
He took Fluxing and ran with it. The place was in a legal state. So vet's could grow own meds for themselves. Because Fluxing is slow but detailed. He reckons it was suited to the mental process of rehab, yet also gave them their meds plentifully.
He had the whole place Fluxing as a process to aid their recovery.
It knocked me for six (cricket term, like a home run for you US folks)
I've been very lucky to of helped such folk.
I digress lol.
Yes I'll smash this grow HOPEFULLY
It's my jam, my mission my passion and if it helps anyone else I've done my job.
Let's face it, more people have the opportunity to do the small micro grow than the big show as it were. I've done it all yet this lights a fire within me still as I believe it helps more folks.....
Have a couple of pics to try show vertical space etc
Yep everything you're saying is fine. Just remember to take all over under nodes off for best true flow through the flux
I'm Suffolk UK
Ah! Okay so if I get it correctly you’re saying keep the shoots that come out side and side, not top and bottom. And I assume if that’s correct that these will alternate or something?Yep everything you're saying is fine. Just remember to take all over under nodes off for best true flow through the flux
Yup my friend, we map out a perfect form of flow. Every other node you remove (under over sitting). As long as you let the main growing tips face the light constantly (tether an inch or 2 away from tip) then the nodal spacing isn't that much. This gives room to map out everything perfectly. Also once reaching the size you want, you must top each main limb a last time. Let these 2 resulting branches grow out. Then manipulate one of the shoots to be the end branch. Let it sit half inch above all others to gain dominance. Let the plant build 6-8 inches of vert growth, So each main flux arm as I call em has a slightly higher end branch.
