I've heard this word used alot but havn't been able to find a good defination or picture process for it. Is it type of cropping? I would love to cut those big fat fan leaves that only one leaf per stem to allow the lower multi leave branch sites to get more light.

Okay I got it, its the (Fuck I missed) method, of cutting the developing node about 60% down.

I believe its more like %80 to %90. The technique of fiming was actually an idea sent into to High Times by someone who identified him or herself as FIM.

wow holy shit. I found this out on my own and have been doing this and trust me it works great. I didn't even know there was a term for it. I thought it was just all considered "topping" My lastest girl has 6 mail colas and a lot of extra branch growth. I must share. Here is a recent picture of her after a flushing ( i accidentally burned her a bit, but sh'e better) I have to tie her up to water because all 6 cloas and other braches are very very heavy and they will snap otherwise. Enjoy

There are small clones I did on August 2. I will see if I can get a picture of the cut. I had to use a magnifier to do it

Well now I have to figure out how the picture thing works! I have no idea how to do it.

Well I guess that did not work

More pictures of an Afghan clone at 23 days with a FIM trim! I hope!

This may be a better picture of the top of the afghan. If you look you can kind of see where I was snipping away, right between those new leaves. New pistals can be seen.

And for general information both of these plants I cloned August 2. They were very small cuts off of flowering plants. Cheers
