Man, I gotta stop posting when I'm too buzzed, I ALWAYS forget stuff!...Sorry Kim if I misled you...yes, you can top or FIM, and it will give you more dominant top buds, however, they will not be quite as large as if you had left them alone, there will just be more of them...I'm starting to think just tying them or bending them down to fool them into making more dominant "top" buds may be the way to go for me, it just HAS to be less stressful to the plant imo...There is a debate on whether any of this stuff actually increases yield or not. Last batch I LST'd, trained and staked and removed almost all undergrowth...I got 6-7 very large buds off each plant, but since I did no comparison, I don't know if it really made the buds bigger or not. They were bigger than the previous batch, (and I use clones, so the plants were exactly the same) but I also added molasses to the grow this time and it could have been the difference, so who really knows for sure? Do one and not the other and see, maybe?
