h_t_y, sry to reply to another post on your thread but...
JB-you should not FIM your plants unless they have at least a week to recover in veg before transition. If you must, FIM will slow stretch, but hurt quality and yield at this point, and it will increase the likelihood of hermies. I would just super crop...
IMOO, I would break every branch about halfway down and bend them outward to even out the garden profile. Don't mess with tops during transition at all. Once all the budding sites have formed, the stretch will begin to slow. If you aren't familiar, there's lotsa stuff on youtube about supercropping.
Don't say 'Screw it!'! Give peace a chance!
