Nice post, I new what topping was but couldn't put my finger on Fimming. Much appreciated and thanks again for the info and detailed pics.

Awesome tutorial, it was just the info that I was needed and was looking for...

could you lolipop essentially leaving only your 8 tops or like super crop all of them or something im just wondering how amixture of technigues work and how each has its benifits and disadvatages

This tutorial was amazing! My plants have atleast 10+ new growing tips!!! They did look pretty funny at first and then a few days later... bamm!

Try this technique, you won't be sorry!

I'm growing A mouther plant at the moment and want to do this to incurage lots of lower growth and make the plant short and bushy.

So as soon as i get my 4th set of real leaves I chop them.
When do I chop the new growth on the Y?

Very nice post, this should not be done when flowering right?

earlier today I fimmed my first plant. Haven't done it before and I really tried not to do anything stupid. In my journal (post #115 https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/58850-my-first-attempt-help-suggestions-12.html) I posted pics of what I've done.
Could someone please take a look at them and tell me if I fimmed right?

Hey Markj - that's how it's suppose to look at first - kinda funky, but give it a few more days and BAMM!!! Re-read the tutorial if you are feeling antsy... But dude there is no way to mess this up - cause if you go too far, well you have just topped your plant and that's all good too!

u cant top a plant at the bottom? cuz i want mine as short as can be...

this is a great thread, very clear words and pictures. thank you !

how long does it typically take to top a plant

what kind of strain is the plant that he topped mine looks like that but i don't know what strain because i asked a friend for a seed and i forgot to ask what strain :/

I'm loving what I see on this thread : ) I have 22 girls that are ready to be switched from veg to flowering any day, have I waited too late to FIM or Top? What is the ideal time to do it?

great thread this will help keep my plants nice and short , gotta harvest by 3 1/2 feet tall .

FIM Is great thanx
