Default Topping vs Fimming
What is the difference between the two?

The diff is in where you trim. Try a search for this thread "topping and fimming 101"

topping u get 2 colas. Fim u can get up to 6-8 colas. combine fim with supercropping and u could end up with 15-25 colas, depending on strain. I Fim twice and then I supercrop and i end up with a shit load of smoke. Easier than scrog, more effective than LST..

heres a pic of what it looks like when you fim, you can see the new growth coming out of the original stem.

this is my first time and i did this completely on accident when i was trying to top my little guys.

hi Husker, if you are still checkin out my thread, am currently using the LST and supercropping methods, but I am not sure what this "femming" deal is all about... what is it and how do you do it? I wouldn't mind 15 colas per plant!!!

they are about 7 weeks old from seed and it looks as if i am going to get 8-12 or more colas (used to be undergrowth, however have shot up recently to look as if they are colas) per plant

here's a diagram showing exactly where to FIM. its as simple as cutting where the red line labeled FIM is.[IMG]file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/superccrop.jpg[/IMG]
