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

I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

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

FIMIN During Flower?Hey guys. I'm wk 3 in flower and I was just wondering how far into this stage yall will continue to FIM for tops? I have held off for the logic that they need energy for bud form but how far have yall pushed them? Do you have a specific time that you just refuse to touch the girlBuds. Other

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. ThanksWeek 3

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?4y ago
