I tried the u shape cut on these girls. Hell I just used some cuticle scissors. They have a u shape to them. I suppose I will just keep cloning away until it works out!
Dr. Bloor Reviewed by Dr. Bloor 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
