Indica (Mataro Blue) & Sativa (Amnesi-K Lemon)

Fimming is just topping.. you damage the node but leave enough ramining it can recover and grow out -- the healing can result in extra branches from that node plus the 2 axillary buds that normally form just below - auxins re-distribute growth temporarily to things that wouldn't normally have apical dominance after damging the plant just like topping. The difference is that the damage doesn't fully destroy or remove the top most growth node It's inconsistent. You cannot predict the outcome, so it's a useless technique. More is not always better, anyway. It's better to have an end goal as far as number of colas per sq ft of space and work backward from that goal formulating a plan to reach it in a systematic and efficient way. A whimsical mass of branches is not ideal. It's click bait or an epeen. It may make an individual feel like they accomplished something, but provides no real benefit and sometimes is a negative.

Don't fim..........it is a terrible technique that hardly ever goes properly. Just do normal topping...........the plant is less mutilated, recovers faster and the results are much more predictable. Fimming is over rated and a useless procedure in my opinion.

I aim to Top, never to FIM Don't beat yourself up about it. beat your plant for fucking it up. It should know better. light a cig and burn the bitch on her stems so she knows to do better. It takes time but that's how you train them the right way. Jokes aside, top, not fim
