Wait for a healthy plant. 6+ nodes is generally safe and tends to work better if the axillary growth is begun at least initially, as oppose to little immature nubs. The beginnings of leaves at those nodes will help greatly.

FIM is just like topping so I'd say soon as see the true leaves start. Not sure how often but topping it's every 3rd.

Fimming gone wrong?Did my Fimming attempt go wrong? I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results? Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.

Topping and LST autoflower I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

FIMing feedback & Q: recovery week Nitrogen dose?Any feedback and / or suggestions on improving my FIMing technique 🎋 are welcome! Beginning of week 3. For the next week (FIM recovery) should I keep adding Micro (2-0-0)? I’ve seen suggestions to ease off on Nitrogen for a week, but the bottles say always use all three parts

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Topping If I topped at the 5th node can I fim at the 6th or 7th node? Or should I stick with topping and not confuse the plant with different techniques?

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Did I FIM it right? Strawberry Gorilla strain.Is this FIMed correctly? It's my first time topping or FIMing. I chose to FIM as I've read it can be less stressful on plants. So I'm wondering if I did it correctly. Just after the 4th node. The little pieces sticking out aren't part of the top. Thanks much.

Fimming again?About the Frosty Friday, I'm still learning to HST / Topping / Fimming. I picked it up from a local Growshop last week and it was topped and all the branches were fimmed. I did some LST and it seems to recover pretty fast, should I keep fimming the branches? 4 Branches/ 14 Shoot
