LH you are quite right and I completely went off in the wrong direction! Thanks for clarifying.

Np. Glad to help.

I used the FIM, supercrop, and lst techniques to get mine to bush. I'm also going to try some humbolt county bushmaster if it tries to stretch to much. You are going to have to add another bending/training technique to maximize the new growing potential of the plant.

NICE PLANTS WEEDHOUND!
instead of cutting the whole tip... move up a little... it will look funny.. but in no time you will see the new growth... and maybe some chopped in half leafs.

I think the bottom line is the total effect
How much light you have , how much room you have, how much time
Now with the fim you want to maximize all the light.
Each time the main stalk is doubled so are the bud sites. Done at the right time you can maximize the total area expossed to the light.
I have used both ways, fim and hedge shears. But admit fim the first two times make sure you have max effect. One = Two,two =4 and if I have time 4= 8 stalks , after that fim its the hedge shears.
I use a stick and trim all tops to that heigth.
Pot is like a whore if it does no put out its gone.

I've.tried.FIMming.again.and.again..The.most.I've. seen.is...
1.the.next.branch.takes.over.as.lead
2.topping.which.I.do.now.with.lst'ing
3.chopped.leaves.that.grow.as.normal
I'm.happy.FIMming.doesn't.work..I.like.the.bushy.u ndergrowth.using.the.space.instead.or.just.a.bushy .top..

oh.I've.been.trying.to.Fim.Northerns.and.Afghanis. btw.....

I just fimed an afghan clone that is 22 days old. See what happens

Afghan hopefully fim!

Maybe a better picture of another plant
