FIMming

[qdavid]

I have read where some strains react better to topping. I used LST on some BB successfully. I know they wouldn't like any topping/stress cause they didn't like any stress, but well worth the hassle. Right now I have a couple Skunk seedlings popping up and I wrote the seed company asking if they knew if their Skunk reacted well to FIMming. He responded back saying he wasn't sure what fimming was, but he liked to top his Skunk right after switching to flower. This really surprised me as this seems awful late in the growing cycle. I'm thinking maybe I won't top or FIM and just LST, but the size of the sativa dominant Skunk concerns me. My cabinet is only like 30"high so maybe I'll l have to. I still think waiting till to top till flowering is too late in the cycle for that and it's best to pretty much leave the plant alone then.

Just a suggestion, but why don't you write back to the seed guy and ask him why he tops when he does.

Maybe he's a dumbshit and just doesn't know any better.

On the other hand, maybe he's grown this particular strain a kazillion times, a kazillion different ways, and he's found that this is the optimal time to top for this particular strain.

...never hurts to ask. :thumbsup:

whoever told you to top them once theyve flowered is a complete douche bag
