I got to agree with the below answers.
Topping is more my style vs Fiming. Fiming to me is "a mistake" and I don't want 4 branches out of one node. harder to manage space wise.
If you want to keep it short, increase a lot more blue light into the tent in veg and use LST to help keep it down.
Could also mainline it to keep it really low. I find I am liking it more and more in my grow style.
What you plant on doing with this plant will be where you'll decide to take this.
If you do top it. wait a few more nodes before topping it again, gives you more room to stretch them branches away from each out.
Best Of Luck!

Here is what I have learned, with my plants at least. I FIMmed hoping to slow 2 girls down and they just rocketed right thru the FIM. In hindsight I should have topped first and then FIMmed meristem and branches to manage canopy height. I cut right at where you show on one and lower on the other just to experiment. I couldn't tell a change. I will be posting some new pics today start of wk. 6 veg. They might illustrate what FIMming did for me. Best of luck brother!

Solid advice below. I would say topping is the way to go. Fimming is going to cause a lot more branching in a small area. It's really cool looking but does tend to grow tight together not as good airflow. Good luck with your girl. Also from the plants I filmed in the past,it's took twice as long to start growing again.

Just do a normal topping, "Fimming" in my experience seems rather traumatic with recovery taking much, much longer than normal topping and is not always successful.
If you do insist on trying Fimming, you need to cut lower than the line you drew, almost parallel with the node.

@WeedDude No I would take the top off rather than fim it
when the new nodes grow you will end up with two main branches that can then be tied down and topped once more
and as it develops you keep using lst to create a flat even canopy to minimise the height .

Pistils? Steps from now on?Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy.
Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small.

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

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?

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 day4 years ago
