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.

To LST or not to LST?
I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?

First time FIM, does it look normal a few days later?
Hi Growmies, Just wondering if this FIM attempt is looking any good a few days on? It's just that I am struggling to visualise how it will end up? To me, she looks like she is carrying on growing in the "Christmas tree" format. Did I miss a FIM lmao? Is that possible? lol.. TY

Any thoughts on how to get FIMing right and how this one turned out?
Any thoughts on how this FIM is turning out? I've been trying to learn how to properly FIM a plant and I've tried a couple of times. Here's my latest attempt but I don't think I'm gonna get the results I I'm looking for. Any thoughts/advice about how to do this better?

Did I FIM correctly?
Tried to FIM 2 days ago and now I'm wanting to know if it looks like I did it correctly. Couldn't get my camera to focus after many attempts, so the quality of the photo is bad.

Defoliating autoflower
What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.

Suitable growing techniques
What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

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
