    What would be the results if I were to "Top" or "FIM" my Blueberry (DJ short) plants & lollipop them? Has anyone tried this?

    Those are two completely opposite techniques. Like can i drive slow while hauling ass...? J/k i know what ya mean, can you prune the top and have say two or four colas and then lollipop them. Yup you can. But them you have multiple colas you usually dont get side branches.

    The whole point in lollipop is to get ONE big bud so topping kills that by definition. In lollipop you want all the energy to go t producing a nug o' glory. Lamp

    Ok I get it, one more thing, what is the main difference with topping & fimming? Ive read a couple of tutorials but as far as I can tell by topping youd get 2 shoots & by fiming youd get 4 shoots...right?

    Topping is just simply cutting the top node off of a plant so that i will grow two dominant colas. You can then top those and get four colas.

    FIM'ing or FIM stands for FUCK I MISSED. Its when you prun the top but you prune in the middle of the ttiny bit of new growth at the top of the plant. This way all of the veins of the new growth will become there own branches, so you can FIM once and get say 8 or so main colas, usually you get 4 or 5 though.

    Search for FIM in google pictures and you will see where to cut. Lamp
