Fimming With My Blaze: A Complete How to FIM Guide

If they don't get that much light so what, that has no impact on how much light the leaves above get, and if the roots are strong, there will be more than enough water/nutes to go around.. Look at M Blaze and his monsters.. Now that is asking alot of a root system..

both sides make sense, but if your medium is soil, you won't be able to tell what your root structure's like. the size and overall health gives you an idea, and true every leaf has a purpose, but just seems like buds will be bigger if the plant's only focusing on the tops. I guess only Jah knows the truth

You know from experience.. You do examine things after death right.. And doing things as per guidelines helps alot..

well depends on what's dead.. haha.

Like plants that have been harvested and aren't destined for reveg..

Blaze, here she is after her first day of 12/12. We've had some electrical issues. Damn techmology.

First off, thank you M Blaze for the breakdown on Fimming. My question is rather than reguards to height, because so many plants grow differently. Some short and bushy, some tall and lanky. At what point during a grow do you find it best to Fim them? Specifically, if it makes sense, How many nodes or branches would you suggest there be on the plant before you Fim the top?

On a quick side note, I learned an inmeasurable amount from your journal. Thank you.

I have FIMmed plants as young as having 3 sets of true leaves so it can be done when they are that small and it would also give good results from the young age.

MB - I have read your grow journals, and am curious...You have obviously got your grow method perfected (as evidenced by your monster yields and healthy plants), however I was wondering - when you were perfecting the fim and LST for your plants, did you ever do a comparison as far as total yield? IOW have one clone from the same mother/strain that you fimmed and LSTd and the other just left to grow on it's own, then compare yield at harvest?

Also, do you think the 15 gal. grow pots are pivotal (for root space) to grow monsters such as yours? Do you think one could get "close" results growing with soil in lieu of coco (FF soil and 600W HPS)?

BTW - I know folks say this a lot, but I just can't thank you enough for the way you selflessly share all your methods, and provide inspiration to those of us who aspire to have beautiful/productive plants such as yours...THANKS and +rep.
