FIM question
So I was having a debate with my fiance. we recently tryed to fim a plant. this is the first time we have tryed it so he cut the top and it has been about a week. the bottom branches are starting to grow straighter upwards than the other plant we did not fim. so he says that all of teh branches that were already there before fim are going to be tops.
i am under the impression that he is incorrect and that all of the lower branches are not going to be tops. only the two top branches where we cut are going to turn to tops and anything that grows after that. please help me resolve this conflict THANKS dierwolf you are very smart i read a lot of your posts looking for my answer and you taught me a lot! thanks! peace bud and happiness maryjane |

YOu said or many said fimming causes 3-4 new tops right at the top of the plant out of the main stem. This is not really what happens, it just appears so.. but i am sure the pictures and explaination now show exactly what its doing. Thanks for the reply Uniot, we havent spoken much in a while.

ROFLMAO!!
Boy you have some time on your hands and the memory of an elephant, i couldnt even remember the thread that was in LOL. Well actually it is different ![]() Topping cuts off actually 2 new growth nodes completely (just they so tiny at the time looks like just one and fimming cuts off only 1 and part of the fanleaf of the 2nd ![]() Anywhooo ..... were both right, think if i remember right the debate was really about the number of new tops created, which topping is 2 and fimming is 4 ![]()

because topping is guaranteed a Y branch and Fimming if not done properly not work.
I myself do not do fimming for 4 tops.... i use the techique and only cut 50% of the new growth instead of 80%, I do this just to slow down growth at that point to force more branches from the nodes below it. so usually i just top the plant at 3rd leaf set, and then fim 50% to force branching.

Hey, I just tried topping my plant. This was done 9 days into flowering. Can you tell me if I did it right?

Yeah I posted em backwards, I smoke weed. Thanks for the help, I'm interested to see how it affects yield so I'm growing another clone right next to her without topping.
