@XpectResistance, Topping and then topping some more is a form of manifolding but its not fluxing. With fluxing you top only once. This will create two main branches that you grow flat. From thse two branches will form nodes that will grow out and be cola/bud sites. They too will form nodes as they grow out but those you cut off where each small branch coming from the main branch only has one cola/bud site on the end. The theory is the plant will send tons of energy to the ends of both main branches therefore giving each cola/bud site before the main one all the energy it can want while the main bud is telling the plant to send more and more. This is suppose to make all the buds pretty much the same size as the main bud come harvest time.
A guy named light addict on 420 magazine forum came up with the fluxing method and has tutorials over there if you want to read up on it. My current grow I am fluxing with a twist. As of this morning I had 45 cola/bud sites and will flip to flowering when she hits 60.
