If your on about the biggest plant in your diary you should be able to to fimm the very top.
JaramnieJazzanswered grow question 3 years ago
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.

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?

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

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.

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

ToppingHi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!3 years ago

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.
