FIM stands for F#ck I Missed, so looks like it worked to me. :P
You didn't top the 1st time, so not sure how you'll top again.
Topping and Fimming aren't the same. One removed the main growth point and the other does not.
For autos I find LST and FIM better than topping or HST and usually just do a little LST if anything.

You can see the side branches take off at the same node as your FIM-attempts, not a perfect fim, but the suckers are being exposed to the light and expanding, normally they would grow in the shade of the leaves above so it's a partial win 😎👍.

High fragmentsoftime,
Just LST for now buddy! The plant does not have time to recover anymore from any HST.
Just bend the plant in the right shape. Ideal is to bend the higher branches to the same level as the lower ones so that all the buds are the same distance from the lamp and will get the same light intensity.
Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

Personally i'd let it be and wouldn't disturb it any further, she will still get a nice stretch during flower and if she is just entering pre-flower she'll have time to figure it out by herself.
From the looks of it, to me, it just looks "stunted" but healthy.
Autos are nice but a lot more sensible than photos, i just LST my autos.

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 again?About the Frosty Friday, I'm still learning to HST / Topping / Fimming. I picked it up from a local Growshop last week and it was topped and all the branches were fimmed. I did some LST and it seems to recover pretty fast, should I keep fimming the branches? 4 Branches/ 14 Shoot

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!

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.

To LST or not to LST?I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?
