FIM technique: past experiences?

Make sure you press the branch where you cut together.

I learned this the hard way, had one plant die.

I use those black clips for papers now and after I cut use that to seal the wound as much as possible.

good luck

Here are some new pictures from, hopefully fim'ed plants

Hopes this helps!

It does slow down the growing.

Hopefully some real experts will step in here and offer their advice. I am just so much an amateur. Better than being an armature I suppose!

I recently played with the F.I.M (Fuck, I missed!) method. Unfortunately, my test subjects were two males and one hermie, but I did infact convince 6 shoots to fight for the top.
I highly recommend this method but only for early-mid veg, and I believe the biggest difference(from topping) may lie in the shape of the cut, ie. the V as opposed to a straight or angled.
Good luck cussin' n' missin'!:thumbsup:

FIMing is very difficult to do correctly. Most people who say they are FIMing are only topping. Not only is the placement of the cut critical, but also the shape. It is supposed to be a "U" shape, done with a bent razor blade or something. I have tried it several times, and haven't noticed anything other than topping results. Some people swear by it, but hell, how do you do it correctly?

[Dr. Bloor]

Maybe fim!

I am still working on it. Here are some pics. These are flowering clones that I tried it on.
