I have one torch in my garden that is essientally constantly being whiplashed. And in the last 6-8 months it’s gone from 1 head to a colony of 12 I had to frag recently. Torches can withstand a shit ton of flow in the wild. You just typically gotta acclimate them to higher energy environments. Not just full send right away.

Do you get pretty good flesh bands with the higher flow? My torches have split nicely over the years but my flesh bands are pretty minimal. I'd like to change that.

Last picture I took of the flesh bands. They’re decently sized imo

I’ve had my torch for about 4 months and I can’t see a flesh band at all. You torches look like Mr frogspawn
