My Attempt at a FIM.

  1. Hi all, just wanting to get some feedback or opinions on my fimming.

    Assuming I don't get 3 males (rough luck that would be) this will be my first proper grow. I don't care about the harvest too much because I purely want more seeds.

    Today is the first day of week 3, and I'm making the switch to 12/12 today. At the start of week 2 I decided to FIM my plants, I decided on fimming over topping because apparently it stresses the plant less and worst case scenario it's just a topping anyway.

    If you ignore the runt at the front, here is my grow:

    It is a micro grow in a PC box.

    The plant on the left has always been doing the best, had slightly bigger single finger leaves and grew a little faster than the one on the right. I attempted it first:

    I thought I took too much off but one extra shoot came out as apposed to the 2 from topping. I got scared that I took too much off so for the other one I went up a tiny bit and then this happened:

    As I understand it this is what a FIM is supposed to look like, but I have no idea how many shoots are going to pop up.

    I don't want to veg any longer because I'm in a PC box.

    So my question is, how did my attempt at fimming go? Is one going to end up being better than the other? Are they both fine?

    Just want to get some insight from people with experience.

    Thanks, Dax.
     
  2. Fuck I missed. You get two and if lucky the Fim will be a shoot as well. It just speeds up the lower parts of plant slows the main to keep from getting to tall

  3. Did your plants show sex yet or pre flower ? That’s when you should flip to 12/12

  5. No signs of sex but I don't want to outgrow my already very small space, as long as I get seeds I'll be happy.

    Second one does look like a mess lol
