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!

Week 3
Day 15: ...growing...
Day 16: ...growing...
Day 17: ...growing...
Day 18: ...growing
Day 19: This plant was put into a 2 gallon bubble bucket.
Day 20: FIMed this plant for the 2nd time.
Day 21: ...growing...
Weekly Summary: Nothing of major note during the first 4 days of the week, but then I showed my Blueberry favoritism and converted this plant to my first bubble bucket. I really love the way the bottom side branches are coming up, so I FIMed this plant again to try to help the side branches maybe grow closer to top. After I broke the stem of the Cream Caramel, I'm a little hesitant to train too hard to really make equal colas...I really like the outlooks for how this plant will grow.
Short Term Plans: Prepare for flowering...

@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."
