you could encourage multiple top cola's just by LST'ing and not lose the down time. I don't FIM because of recovery time. I'm not an expert but I have damaged many plants and any time I have cut anything, the plant took about 2-3 days to resume its previous vigor.
Hence my recommendation for LST'ing, simply tip the plant and let the hormones do the rest. No matter which technique you use, your manipulating the growth hormones.
Zcomp Reviewed by Zcomp on . to FIM or not to FIM well i was wondering whether, if i didnt FIM and managed to produce a single kola bud that weighed 1oz (hypothetically) would i have produced more bud if i would have FIMed and 6-8 new branches were to grow would those branches produce more than the single kola ?
