it's actually already a bit late to do the topping for an auto, usually you want to clip it a bit early like in week 2, i would suggest simple pinching or a FIM if you want to promote latteral growth. Hope this helps ! 🚀

End of leaves turning yellow after fimming (not so bad)
Hello guys, see the last picture, after my fimming, do you know if it's normal if the end of the leaves are turning yellow ? Or it is some stress ? (It's an auto) Thanks in advance ! 😀

FIM went wrong, what to do?
I tried FIM training week ago. Something went wrong :/ Maybe I cut too little? What is the best I can do now? Try again or leave it to grow? First image is taken after FIM, second one week after.

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?

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.

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?

Top and then FIM auto?
I topped this ILGM skunk auto on Day 12 and she’s tolerated it well. Today is Day 14. I want to go all-in and now Fim the new growth. risky, but I’m going for it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!

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
