FIM - when one FIM's a plant, one trims off 75-90% of the new growth on the apical stem. Once the plant has recovered from the trim, more than one apical stem will result (usually two). After those two are established, one can again FIM the now two apical stems and expect to have four. And while your apical stems are recovering, the side branches gain length as well.

Topping - When one decides to top, the stem is cut in a fashion to prohibit further growth on the cut branch to promote growth elsewhere.


The process of FIM can be done on all branches, not just the main one, as well as with topping....

How many plants you going to be growing in that 6x6 space?
