PS-To anyone thinking about trying this, if you cut too high at first, you can cut again whenever. If you cut too low, at least you topped your plant. If you're gonna miss, miss high. I fimmed seven plants, four had new growth sites visible overnight. I examined the remaining three plants and found they'd been cut too high, just removing leaf growth and not cutting thru the growth tip. Re-cut those and saw the new growth today. Awesome method. I'll post in a few more days on how they react.

Sitting back trying to decide the appropriate actions for my 6 week old ladies from clone and your post has helped me reach a conclusion. Thanks for being thorough and explaining the fim technique better then any book. Cheers

Too soon to FIM? They are about 2 weeks in. They are both just under I believe a 36w CFL and a 24w HO T5. I know, I know...It is not much light at all. But, I am waiting on my new light setup to arrive. Should be here sometime this week. Let me know if you think I should FIM now or wait another week or two. Thanks in advance for all tips and help. Have a good one!

Been FIMing for years. But always called it "pinchin".
Anyways, every once in a blue moon I'll get one of these;
FIM 1.jpgFIM 2.jpg

I assume this is the old "Fuck I missed!" thing?
Usually, I let be for a spell, and then remove.
Should they be left? They look interesting, but can't see any use for them.
Just did 8 in a hurry (while burnt) the other night and 2 came this way.
Does it hurt to leave them?
Bigger one is a conversation piece at least. :-P

leave em, that will end up being a fan leaf that could be as big as your hand. If you remove it, your plant will just spend extra energy making a new one.

It looks like that because you clipped the ends of the new growth / fan leaf when it was still microscopic in size. (before it grew out / barely grew out)

yes you can :) as mblaze has stated about 50 times in this thread you can fim a plants as many times as you want, he does it once as it suits his setup better... I fim my plants about once month and do every end shoot i can find... this is the result

I just wanted to say this is awesome! Everyone should be doing this. I didn't have these amazing close up pictures and diagrams the first time I tried it. I just read it out of a book and it took a couple of plants before I figured it out. At least I'm doing it how it's describe in this sticky now.
Remember if you screw it up, you can still top it and be ok.

Much Love.

I LST my plants and you can veg as long as you want...just remember they double/triple their size during flower so make sure you have the space for them.
