Failed Fimming-What to do now?

Natronastarted grow question 2h ago

FIM attempted on Strawberry Cadillac. Didn't work as expected. It just looks like i trimmed the leaves for clones. It is because she only has one budsite per node? What should I do now? Top her at a lower node? Let her grow out? Suggestions?

FIM is a failed topping, aka Fuck I Missed is the acronym. There is no failed FIM-ing your just topped or did nothing at all but some leaf damage.. Re due it or leave it.

hey 👋 Don’t overthink it, either you let it grow like this and decide later which LST to use, or you top it at this node and train the secondary branches 👍

Forced supercrop due to lack of water Hello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Cosa posso fare??aiutoooo!!Durante il supercropping mi è capitato di aprire una ferita nel fusto principale dove ho subito riallacciato la parte penzolante con lo scotch. Ho paura che non si riprenda più o che il supercropping non funzioni. Qualche consiglio?? La pianta è molto floscia.

Bending branch I decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining: Is there any difference or what would be preferred between: Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍
