FIM, when done right, can produce four or more new shoots at the site of the cut...where traditional "topping" will produce only two. It's a great way to create a literal canopy of bud sites up top, and in my opinion, works best when you train each branch so that they receive equal amounts of light. Just don't go overboard with it, or you'll end up with an unmanageable bush! :jointsmile:
