If u top it. Thats high stress. I would wait to f again at a few more nodes.
Or think about topping it then.

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 partsWeek 3

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?1y ago
