Can’t load pics

Sometimes doing one picture at a time works best, at least for me. When I do multiples it don’t work

Well, I’m going to try a few things with the Flèche… I’ll work with this Black Iced Jelly from @shindig153 .

Do they Shout when you Twist them

[kaptain3d]

I tricked them into believing that the safe word is: More, more!!!

They shout the palindrome

Egad! NO Bondage!

So i just upgraded my diy compact chilled water dwc system. Not sure what to really call it but the dwc buckets sit in chilled water. My plan was to run 2 plants in each bucket with some training and whatnot. I like this fleche idea particularly the back flux (i think you called it). 2 plants back to back? I would love to try to do this in my dwc, and with clones. I got clones coming soon. Heres the new 2 bucket chilled water reservoir setup i just built for the next run.

@Rsandds

the back flux (i think you called it)

Back flux: 2 plants, planted together back to back, supercropped in opposing directions.
That’s how @Arrow taught me

[Rsandds]

Thats exacty what im talking about. I didnt know it was a thing. I just grew a big plant and noted the root size, thinking i could veg less and fit 2 plants. Then i found this thread this morning, and of course i got a woody. i bern watching videos and reading about nebulahaze manifolds and main lining, cropping and super cropping. Trying to plan out my next run.

[Rsandds]

I just wasnt sure how i was gonna train them but i like this idea

[kaptain3d]

When you attempt this, make sure you have plants/seedlings of roughly equal size and make sure you water/feed them “equally”. Otherwise on side will overtake the other and will be much bigger than the other side.
Just water around the pot, slowly and you should be good!

Im doing dwc hydro

[Rsandds]

Both buckets have drip ring

[kaptain3d]

Great! Then just make sure you start with equal size plants and you’ll be golden.

I think I’ve said this before in this thread but it bears repeating: Thank you for sharing your “plant contortion” methods w/good pics. You’re clearly quite skilled at it and It’s educational and very interesting for me!
