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

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 and train correctly enough?
hoping my plant looks like she's supposed to. She is an autoflower, and I did a lot of stressful training. FIM, LST, and defoliation. I wont be training her from here on, I don't want to add more stress. last grow with same seed started showing bananas 2 weeks before harvest.

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.

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!

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 !

Maybe Fimmed?
I've seen a little sprout coming out from one of the two main branches, maybe I've fimmed it?

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?
What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

I FIMed in week 3, and everything seemed to go swimmingly. I don't know that there was any real slowing of growth. I was worried I had taken too much off. Week 4 comes around, and there is top growth like nothing ever happened. Any ideas?

Apical cut in autoflowering, Yes or Not ? Not, they do not have time to recover. Yes, much has been in, with good results. What ? 😜
