Hey she doesn’t look to bad. Why would check your light to plant distance. Try and be between the 12inch and 18inch mark. Happy growing

Is FIMing done right?
2 days ago I tried to make FINing. I'm not sure, but I feel it looks made wrong. Should I wait, or try FIM it again?

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?

When to 12/12?
Hello, I fimmed the main cola of my plants a week ago. They got bushier during the week. I am thinking to top their every branch and switch lights to 12/12 schedule is this a good idea and how long should i wait after topping to go to 12/12?

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

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?

11-15 cm, too small for fimming ?
So I overfed them last week and now they are quite small (chlorosis). Most of them have 4 to 5 nodes. Should I wait for them to be taller (25-30cm ?) and greener for fimming ? I'm aiming to lollypop them later, I don't have much width. Thx !

Top and then FIM auto?
I topped this ILGM skunk auto on Day 12 and she’s tolerated it well. Today is Day 14. I want to go all-in and now Fim the new growth. risky, but I’m going for it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!

Branch/leaf trimming.
When and should I be trimming branched and leaves? I'm on the 3rd week of veg and I have been using the LST method. Is it too early to be cutting leaves, branches?

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?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)
I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

Should I start topping now ? seems that GCP and Critical (and even the Random has , just looks thinner) has 3+ nodes , I guess on the Purple Queen has to grow a bit more , for pictures check latest ones from my diary. and after the topping to tie them down ?

End of leaves turning yellow after fimming (not so bad)
Hello guys, see the last picture, after my fimming, do you know if it's normal if the end of the leaves are turning yellow ? Or it is some stress ? (It's an auto) Thanks in advance ! 😀
