I tried a DIY fimming technique video. I followed what the instructions was very clearly, it was a fim techique where u slightly break the branch, and from that break, 2 branches plus the broken branch will grow. Well after 3 days, my branch and leaf went dead and fell off. Anyone knows what went wrong?

yeah sounds like fim gone wrong, which isnt the end of the world you just topped it instead. fimming takes practice and everyone makes that mistake a few times

Well I didn't top it. I tried the technique on a fan leaf and branch, not the new growth on the main stem. In the video, the dude used this technique on many of the branches on the plant, and u saw the finished product also in the video.

well technically "bending/snapping" branches is supercropping, not FIMming. FIMming is when you cut the new growth at the tops half way so the plant grows 4+ top colas.

I prefer topping and LST training over FIM/supercropping. 3-5 healthy top colas are better than 6-8 small ones.
