Last night I couldn't sleep, and got bored... So I decided to do something drastic...


I fimmed Esperasa, Spirit, and Star =]

This was my first time fimming or topping for that matter...

And it showed with my first cut........ I cut one of the leaves from Esperasa by accident!!

Esperansa before....




Esperansa After notice the missing leaf =[






Esperanasa close up...




Star fimmed..



Star close up




Spirit fimmed...



Spirit close up...




So what do you guys think? I hope I didn't butcher them too much, next time I'll get a fine pair of small sharp scissors. The ones I used didn't cut as well as I would like... I did clean them with alcohol, then h2o2, and then rinsed with water before making the cuts to prevent any kind of infection.

Any pointers for next time are appreciated =]

With topping you pinch of all the top growth. With fimming you leave a little bit left up there. It has something to do with how the growth hormones are transferred to the side branches after pinching.

Dude you can hack up your plant a lot more than that and it will be fine. I cut all the fan leaves off some of my plants and the new growth is lush and happens really fast. As long as you leave a few leaves on top it will get enough energy to recover, but it will be in shock, keep in mind so treat her nice! But trust me, you'll be fine. I could chop off tons more leaves from your plant and it would recover just fine as long as your nutes, lights, and water are good. Hope I could help. Peace..

Thanks for all the input guys... and I know they will all recover, I just couldn't believe I didn't see that I was going to hack a leaf too.. I was so focused on the top, I wasn't paying attention to the rest..

Any way.. they are doing fine now, and I'll post a few pics later as they progress to show the result of the fimming.

I have used both FIMing and topping, and without a doubt, topping does the best job of producing apical branching. I will never dick around with FIMing again.

Did you know..? Did you know that they can live well over 100 years? That at Christmas time some Christian Japanese like to buy the best koi they can afford with which to make Christmas sushi (it is still a carp, even though it's awfully purty)? Did you know that they can grow to over 3' long?

I love fish.
