fim ing questions

just curious, does fim-ing get more or just spread out the amount over the plant. i have a few top44 plants going now about a month in. im pretty sure that top44 doesnt get too big so wasnt sure if it pays to even fim at all if it doesnt increase the yeild.:confused::confused:
 
here's the deal with topping, training, fim'ing, and all that. if you want one plant to take up as much room under a light as possible there by having more bud sites then by all means try it. if you have the ability to have alot of plants, then one central cola is prolly easier for most new growers to handle.

never grown top 44 to be more specific

Pretty much right, FIMing is also a luck of the draw, sometimes you miss and sometimes not...

but does doing any of those increase yeild


YES

Here is how it works

FIM gives you 4 colas (tops) instead of 1
Topping you cut off the top and it makes the plant work on the other bud sites rather than 1 top

LST is where you train the plant by bending so it can get as much light as possible.

Here is some pics that might help as well.
These were from a tutorial I found.

WelcomeBro! To RIU! Welcome; My FIM attempt was a somewhat success, I got 3 top 'colas' now.

Pictures of just before fim, right after fim, 21 days later.

It was my first time; but i'm using her as a mother to make clones; more shoots; more clones.
