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?

Regarding Fimming?
First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?

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 !

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.

FIM went wrong, what to do?
I tried FIM training week ago. Something went wrong :/ Maybe I cut too little? What is the best I can do now? Try again or leave it to grow? First image is taken after FIM, second one week after.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

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?

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?

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.

Outdoor Auto Training
Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

Fimming, done right?
Hello guys, I just want to ask If I had done fimming of my plant right? She looks like she is growing normally(chrismas tree shape), I don´t think she is going to split the top into two more colas. Dont know if I have to try one more time, or to top her. Thanks

FIM'd autoflower - recovering ok or should I top it fully?
Never topped or FIMd before. I topped this Jon Snow Autoflower by Cali Weed about 4 days ago. I was a bit too early to top and actually FIM'd it by mistake - is this growing back ok or should I complete the topping? It's growing weird, but I guess that's the point.
