I have---and do do it on all my plants but I'm afraid I can't tell you the mechanics of it.....mine have always done well being topped and I feel it improves the yield significantly but have heard that some strains don't handle it well although I couldn't say which ones. The plants don't grow as tall either; more bush-like so it helps to have good side lighting.
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . FIM technique: past experiences? Thinking about doing the FIM technique on a smaller plant. I hope to 1. create more colas, instead of one main cola (on icmag they were saying you can get 8 colas there). The second thing i'm hoping is to slow down the main cola growth, and allowing the lower nodes (which are immature) to catch up. As I understand, the plant will take about 1-2 weeks to continue growth at the top, but in the meantime focuses on the lower nodes... is this correct? anybody do this technique before? Rating: 5
