Loving your grows. Have you tried FIMing autos before? It's the first time I see it. Then again, my grow is on the second week and I'm planning to top them and still am worried I might damage them (never done it before).
Thanks for the diary!

@Princess_Earthtonesia, that's a very detailed response, thank you so much! FIMing is working for you, It definitely is looking super good.

@lenzmidler,
This is my first ever grow with Autos, and I've only ran two photo cycles many years ago (no training on any of the plants). The FIMing isn't really quite what I expected: maybe I misunderstood, but I thought there would be "new" growth/colas that wouldn't normally emerge or grow if the plant hadn't been cut. But what I think I'm learning is that those "new" growths/colas are just the node growths from the nodes below catching up to the top of the plant that's been cut. I don't think I've really noticed any stunting from the FIM, and I've also been defoliating like crazy to open up the middle of the plant to expose the nodes/growths to light. At some point I'm sure I'll top a plant, but as of now, I'm really liking the way the FIMing is working...I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm excited at how this Blueberry and the Glueberry are growing; they seem to have the potential to have a very nice "Bud Skyline."
