Almost killed them, but they want to live

I posted a few weeks ago with some super not well plants. I had overwatered, over trained, over you name it to them. I was literally trying to kill them with love, but here they are. The seeds can off of the same bud/bag. I think the brown spots are windburn.

Glad it turned around, after all the stress I would watch out for nanners though

I have been watching hard. So far everything looks good. It’s been an experience.

Lol I bet, looks like she's been through it

They. It’s my first grow and I’ve tried everything

Hey, I've found that taking it slow works best when fluxing. A slower-growing plant gives you more time between training sessions. Don't starve it, but feed it lightly, keep watering as usual, but reduce nutrient levels. The plant still needs water, but by limiting nutrients, you can slow its growth rate.

Fluxing cannabis is all about structured growth and maximizing yields through controlled training.
Here are some tips to optimize your approach:

1. Choose the Right Strain​

• Indicas and hybrids work best due to their bushier growth.
• Sativas can be fluxed but may take longer due to their stretchier nature.

2. Early Training & Topping​

• Top the plant at the 3rd node, then remove all lower growth. This forces energy into the two main arms.
• As the two main branches grow out, start tying them down horizontally to create a symmetrical base.

3. Control Growth Speed​

• Light feeding: Provide nutrients at around 50-75% strength to slow growth slightly without causing deficiencies.
• Lighting: Use moderate light intensity (PPFD around 400-500) to encourage steady growth without excessive stretching.
• Temperature & Humidity: Keep temps around 72-78°F (22-26°C) and humidity 50-60% during veg.

4. Ongoing Training & Defoliation​

• Train all new side branches straight up and remove any unnecessary lower growth.
• Regular low-stress training (LST) helps keep an even canopy.
• Light defoliation every few weeks ensures airflow and light penetration.

5. Transitioning to Flower​

• Stop aggressive training 1-2 weeks before switching to 12/12 light cycle.
• Gradually increase bloom nutrients to support flower production.
• Keep training for even canopy height during early flower stretch.

By keeping growth steady but controlled, you'll maximize bud sites and airflow while preventing overgrowth.


Good luck!
