Early FIM
Mammophstarted grow question 4 years ago
I read that some growers practice fim pruning right out of the seed phase to have the most bushy plant possible.
as I am a very impatient person, I jumped on my plant which had barely formed its triple leaves and made a fim pruning. What are your opinions ?

Best practice is to wait until around fourth week of veg to give her time to develop stronger roots. Your seedling is very young and might slow its growth. If you got good genetics it will probably survive but most likely you just slowed her growth.

Too late to do anything about it, but topping autos is not a suggested technique.
Your plant with its barely formed growth was nowhere near ready for "fimming" and all you have achieved is to stunt your plant by topping it at such an undeveloped size/age. Impatience and cannabis cultivation do not belong in the same sentence.
Unfortunately it will probably take 2-3 weeks for it to recover from this extreme and traumatic event and to start growing normally again, meaning very little real time for it to grow before flowering commences.

That is very young, the reason they suggest waiting until the 3rd abd 5th node is more about the plants root development and its ability to bounce back quickly 🌱👍

What is wrong with my plants? Buds look a bit off - nute burned 1 (2 others were not that affected) - can i defoliate since they are packed? (Autoflowers)First grow. Had many troubles along the way. Stretched seedling stage on 2 of them and discarded the third (planted a new strain after that, so 1 is 1-2 weeks behind the others). Now in flowering, the buds look weird? Any tips or advice is appreciated. Semi flushed them yesterday
