Fimming while preflower? What could go wrong?

I mean generally when you top or FIM you slow growth. Less so with FIM though.
So worst case your plant tries to recover from FIM, takes a week or 2, your plant barely stretched because it was recovering, flower production is behind or lacking.
Best case it barely affects it and causes all growth tips to start growing more before stretch.
2nd option has higher odd when done in veg, or early flower. As time goes on your gonna get closer to option 1 in my opinion.
Without pics though, no idea which way your grow is leaning towards.

Hello Royalgorillaxx,
You can FIM a preflowering plant, as long as it is not an autoflower.
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

You'll be fine first few days of preflower. If you wait too long you're going to stop the stretch and end up with some super stubby plants- not necessarily a bad thing if you're short on space, but your yield will be affected if they have the room to grow normally.

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?

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
