More pics. Check out the way that one bushy top is shaped. That's what happens when you FIM right before flowering, like 1 week before and don't let it recover. Instead of 1 cola you get a cluster fuck of small ones that make a really big one. Couple different FIM'd tops and a regular one for comparison
Damn. I knew I'd be so impressed the next time I was to see those plants! They are coming along really well man! I actually believe I'm just as eager as you are for these things to be ready to chop down!
Nice!
Let me know if you get any herms on the white rhinos.. I've been having problems with mine.. seeds were Nirvana Standard.
nice work splifted.just gone through your whole process an i gotta say it fuckin impressive fa first grow man. i was just wonderin, what does fim mean
im confused.WEEDOS
Thanks for the kind words man, I'm proud of my girls :D
FIM'ing is a method of topping where you leave behind some of the growth instead of making it a clean cut. This can cause you to get 3-8 new growth tips instead of just 2 like a standard top. Its pretty cool.

YEAH splifted nice one man but the diagram has confused me, doyou cut the top and the shoots from the leaf joints aswell?
Nah, all you cut is the 2 sets of leaves that are poking out of the top. Like you know how at a top you have immature leaves that haven't opened yet and kinda point slightly up? Just cut off all but the very bottom of those. From the bottom, the leaves kinda look like a tear drop, fat where they are connected and skinny toward where the tips are forming. Cut down into the fat part leaving just a little bit of green still attached to the stem. Basically its just like a sloppy top.
FIM stands for "Fuck, I Missed!" according to the grow bible. Like someone was trying to do a normal top but didn't cut it all off by accident. Then I guess they left it and shat once they got 3-7 new tops instead of 2. There is no exact way to FIM, its more of a hit and miss type thing. Just leave some of the green around the edges when you cut the growth tip off. If you cut too much, you'll get your 2 normal tops. If get it right, you'll get your 2 new tops and then some more will start to form in the center where you left that junk. We tried to FIM like 7 tops on that one plant, but only managed to correctly do like 3 lol.
cheers for the briefing mate ill try that along with lst hopefully ill get it right with mine gotta go man i need a spliff LATAZ
