  5.  
    I have closely read and looked at the first page to this F.I.M. & Topping thing but I'm still a little confused about F.I.M. and Topping! Like i get the pic and how much to cut. I guess my Q. is how do you know if its to late to do F.I.Mming on a new growth that has started already but hasn't dropped yet(level out)? Okay like on a new growth is there a to big/catching it to late into it's growth to leaves? IDK it's my first time growing a legit setup w/ 600watt (MH & HPS) lighting, tent ..... So any tips and advice would be great and greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU GUYS!~
     
     I'm still in veg(3rd week)   
     
  6. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I REALLY need to do this F.I.M. thing cause I got a extra 2x2 space for every plant to have horizontal growth!! I'm only in my 3rd week of veg so ya if anyone can help me that would be awesome!! I have read the first page very closely and much more blogs/posts.... So when is it perfect to FIM and when is it to late to FIM the new growth? I have some nodes that are just barely opening and some that are starting to form. I think i understand it a little as far as how much to cut(80%) and where! Its just its my first legit grow and I'm trying hard to do as much as i can for my girls!! ......... SORRY for the long message but THANKS!!

  18. Hey, got some questions. So my phone won't load all the pics for some reason and wanna make sure I'm understanding this.

    Ideally you are just takin the newest set of fan leaves and cuttin them off? No all the way but most of it? Then it'll branch out into two? If someone had pics that work that would be great also! Thanks!

  19. Hey guys and gals. So I am just over week# 3 from seed sprouting. She is under 312 (6500k) watts of CFL. I have her in a 2.5 gal hempy with 100% perlite. The space is 2'x1.5'x3" (22" floor to lights) vertical space. I am planning on lots of LST and either a FIM or top before I begin the LST. Thoughts on when I should do this? She is on her 7th set of real leaves now (3rd set of true leaves). Approx 3" tall now. Thanks ahead of time for your help and input!
