I FIMmed my monster after it was in preflower. She's growing fine. As a matter of fact, too fine. She's even bigger now. I finally gave up on keeping her small

What do people have against FIM? It worked great for me. Now, some strains just don't take to FIM or to topping. But if your strain takes to it, you're still early enough in the cycle to do it. If not, then tying her down is a good option. I did both...first I FIMmed, then I tied her down. She's still farggin huge.
