If it's an auto, you should fim above the 4th node, pinching the 5th. If it's not an auto, you can do it whenever you want

With your plant in its current condition, I would not FIM. You want it to be healthy before considering stressing the plant. A weak plant is prone to more diseases and problems.

I would say they are ready for their first fim. If they recover quickly enough you may even get to do it one more time before they start to flower

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.
