kind of but not really. i topped my plant and about 6 to 8 grow shoots became the new canopyWell Topping Is When You Cut Off The Top Cola So It Grows In Double But I Think You Mean Trimming Not Fimming
goto newbie central and read the vocab postPlease explain what "topping" and "fimming" is. I have read so many posts with these terms but can not figure out what they mean. Thank you.
it stops the top you cut but it doesn't stop the other grow shoots. trees dont die when u cut a branch offThanks. So you just chop of the top bud and more grow in its place? Sounds like it would just kill it or at least stop it from budding.
ha, i'd say topping is only for the plants in the middle of your GR which should be indicas. this allows for the plants along the wall(your sativas) to recieve more lightI Was Gonna Say That But I Was Busy! Dude Your Readin My Mind.
Topping and fimming are both ways of inducing stress to a plant in the vegetative state. This positive stress has good outcomes if done correctly with the right strain because not all strains are receptive to these forms of stress. Topping is basically locating the newest growth ( the top growth node) and totally clipping it off. What happens with topping off is that the growth hormone shoots down therefore encouraging the plant to promote lateral growth theoretically making your plant bushier. Fimming is a term coined to a guy who accidentally came up with this method meaning fucked I missed (FIM). Fimming is basically topping but leaving about 20% of the new growth rather than completely taking it off. Fimming if done correctly will generate more areas of colas rather than 1 central one. Hope this clarifies things for you.Please explain what "topping" and "fimming" is. I have read so many posts with these terms but can not figure out what they mean. Thank you.
i think topping is better for indicas and lst for sativas especially if your hieght is limitedDoes LST work better than topping? I would think LST would cause less stress because you're just bending the plant not cutting it.
this guy has his head on his shoulders you should listenGoddam I Hate To Say It Very Much But Reading The Growfaq Is VERY Advisable.
