yes with fiming I have to cut off the top and cut off all the shoots at the bottom but not the leaves so I want to top higher to let more leaves which means a faster recovery in the end

Hello handze don't take number of pales on the leaves. The only way is to count the number of nodes. Cut after your plant got 5 nodes it is better Otherwise you plant will be too much stressed. Good luck. Bye

General rule for topping/fimming is to cut above the third node when the plant has at least 5 nodes🤷‍♂️. Thats high enough that the plant is mature enough to recover quickly yet you don’t waste anything you’re just going to cut off anyway. I don’t believe the number of points per fan leaf is relevant as all different strains will produce different characteristics.

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.

FIMing feedback & Q: recovery week Nitrogen dose?Any feedback and / or suggestions on improving my FIMing technique 🎋 are welcome! Beginning of week 3. For the next week (FIM recovery) should I keep adding Micro (2-0-0)? I’ve seen suggestions to ease off on Nitrogen for a week, but the bottles say always use all three parts

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?

Fimming gone wrong?Did my Fimming attempt go wrong? I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results? Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.
