It is an auto. I personally would not. I’ve tried it, and stunted the plants.

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 !

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

Did I FIM it right? Strawberry Gorilla strain.
Is this FIMed correctly? It's my first time topping or FIMing. I chose to FIM as I've read it can be less stressful on plants. So I'm wondering if I did it correctly. Just after the 4th node. The little pieces sticking out aren't part of the top. Thanks much.

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.

FIM Advice
I fimmed the side branch growth in the first photo on 2/4/21. Doesn't look like it worked. When i fimmed, the growth looked like the second photo. Did I FIM too soon? Does the growth in the third photo look good to FIM at the point where my thumb is? Am i not supposed to FIM this

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.

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?

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!

Defoliating autoflower
What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.
