I just wanted to say thanks for the FAQ. I experimented with topping a plant this grow, and the topped plant is doing much better than the others, so I am going to give fimming a try next time around.

Thanks M Blaze,Now i understand what people where talking about.Will have to try this with my super silver haze on the next grow.

Yea, dudes gotta stick around and keep repeating the same things again and again, and again.. I'll volounteer my understanding of the technique to help, I've outlined it when questions came up in UB's thread..
And I was going to suggest expanding on the OP to lessen that a bit, but thats done now I suppose, but will need to be done some more I'd bet.. (If a method as simple as topping creates as many questions as UB's thread, all I can say is good luck.. )
How predictable are your results anyways.. I've done FIM a few crops, and found it tough to get clearly repeatable results.. I truly understand why they call it 'F.I.M.', but the results I got were never bad.. It was the screen that drove me up the fucking wall.. I gotta hand it to ppl who can scrog like Kalitkitsune etc, that takes alot of talent a patience!!
Funny thing is I remember from back in the OverGrow.com days that nobody knew what FIM stood for.. The general concensus amongst ppl was that it was designed to make ppl wonder, kind of like John Cooper did with the Cooper 'S' mini engine..

ahh I just meant that your digram was so nice.. I didnt think anyone would have question = )
hehe fuck I missed, thats what I told my girl last night... lol
j/k = )

love u guys..
peace in

The black backed diagram has been on this site for a while.. I've reposted it in a few threads myself.. Still, questions abound..

My results have always been consistent but some plants will grow more new shoots than others. Jackmayoffer's thread will be interesting to see because it will be done to half his crop so there will be a lot of plants to compare results. It always works well for me and does what its intended to do which is to create as many new growth shoots as possible with very minimal stress to the plant. The end result is a wider canopy with many colas but some plants will have more colas than others.

Yes I think I got both diagrams off this site but im not sure who originally posted them.
