After first topping a plant, when is it best to start fimming - how many nodes of new growth should there be?

[LordSoth]

It's my third year growing now, never fimmed or topped before, mostly because I actually feel bad when I cut them during their growth cycle, less its for clone purposes. Just started fimming tonight, will have to see how the next few days turn out . Good n easy guide to understand

[DierWolf]

LordSoth,

If your a cloner, Fimming is a MUST becaue you get that many more branches to clone from.


Sibannac, you can fimm at any time at any new growth if you have topped already.

Yeah i didn't like the feeling of cutting the top off my plant.
It's all good, within a day you will see new growth...topping fimming may slow the growth for a dayor two. But, believe me the outcome is worth it.

Have yet to do much of any cloning, but I do know fimming would be key to do so, thanks again for the guide though hehe.

Sure hope so hehe, I think I may have taken a little bit more then 80 percent though from the top... Can't really tell, I don't think I cut it all the way, just to the stem top so heh... Cutting anything when you have a nifty perception disorder from dropping so much acid for years without much for breaks don't help me none Everything tends to shift down and to the right a little bit it seems.. anyway though, next few days should be good

Dire, you think this is old enough to top?

My only concern is that the leaves are packed so tight.

Thanks for the instructions! i was a bit apprehensive about fimming since it's my first grow, so i waited till the plant got a bit bigger (5 weeks old) and did the procedure... i hope i did everything right we'll see in a couple of days

[agent]

it took a bit more than a couple of days to see definite results, but now i can say - success! Thanks again for the guide
