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

Did I FIM correctly?
Tried to FIM 2 days ago and now I'm wanting to know if it looks like I did it correctly. Couldn't get my camera to focus after many attempts, so the quality of the photo is bad.

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??
As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day

Top and then FIM auto?
I topped this ILGM skunk auto on Day 12 and she’s tolerated it well. Today is Day 14. I want to go all-in and now Fim the new growth. risky, but I’m going for it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

Does this look like a successful FIM?
Does this look like a successful FIM? I clipped it when it was pretty small and it's grown out over the past few days.

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 girl
