===Mainlining ===
By topping the main stem, one can create a manifold ('Y' shaped stem). This forces the plant to split resources between the remaining branches, creating a more even canopy. This should be done when the plant a) has at least three nodes, b) when it is healthy and c) while it is still vegetating. After creating a manifold, LST should be applied to maintain the shape of the plant.[[File:Tall fluxing.jpg|thumb|421x421px|This example shows a manifold in the centre and the stem being kept parallel to the soil by garden wire|alt=|center]]
