@Princess_Earthtonesia, that's a very detailed response, thank you so much! FIMing is working for you, It definitely is looking super good.

@lenzmidler, This is my first ever grow with Autos, and I've only ran two photo cycles many years ago (no training on any of the plants). The FIMing isn't really quite what I expected: maybe I misunderstood, but I thought there would be "new" growth/colas that wouldn't normally emerge or grow if the plant hadn't been cut. But what I think I'm learning is that those "new" growths/colas are just the node growths from the nodes below catching up to the top of the plant that's been cut. I don't think I've really noticed any stunting from the FIM, and I've also been defoliating like crazy to open up the middle of the plant to expose the nodes/growths to light. At some point I'm sure I'll top a plant, but as of now, I'm really liking the way the FIMing is working...I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm excited at how this Blueberry and the Glueberry are growing; they seem to have the potential to have a very nice "Bud Skyline."

Hey Buddy, Thank you very much for sharing our first diarie with our complete product range. We will follow and help you during this complete grow as godd as we can. First this if we see: Treat your plants only good: This begins with small plants already with a proper "sowing and pricking out soil" which is only very slightly fertilized, but only contains high-quality soft fluffy soil material. Good soil does not feel heavy, hard or compressed in the sack, always keep your hands off such soil. For 10 litres of good sowing and pricking out soil you should be prepared to spend 4-5 € and not 2-3 €, for good pre-fertilized organic potting soil at least 15 € per 50 l bag. On your photos you can immediately see the development of the soil. It was tried to stretch it with cheap recycled material (here wood) to get a low price to be able to bring the inferior soil to the normal household. But we do not have a normal household, we cultivate plants with extremely high nutrient requirements, for which we have to take care with our selective interventions. This soil originates (as long as it is not a matter of inferior, too small coconut snippets), which are also a waste product in the extraction of the high-quality and for us interesting coarse coconut fibres, which are still preserved in their basic structure. If you mix 15 % high quality coconut material under the ground (high quality for us means exclusively in Europe in our industry The Canna COGR mats (not the normal Canna Coco Slabs, but only the COGR mats contain high quality coconut fibre material in their basic structure. If you place 15% of this material under the ground, the substrate water holding and oxygen saturation ratio of the soil is increased significantly and you can rely on the addition of inorganic materials such as perlite, or the even more harmful vermiculite variant. For vegetatively growing plants, a good earth mixture includes 15% wormwood (we recommend e.g. the worm humus from Bio Bizz, which always contains living worms even under good storage conditions. Our products are 100% organic and not dangerous for pets, bees and earthworms. After the grow you can move fat worms under your pot directly into the new medium in the new grow passage. Always in the harmony and cycle of nature. With the right earth setup and the use of Green Buzz Liquids this is no problem ;) Next time you re-pot the plants, treat them well and be prepared to invest 4 - 7,50 € per plant before you re-pot and send them into flower. We are regularly visiting this site and will be happy to help you with any problems, questions or anything else at any time.

This grow is insane, thanks for this!

Loving your grows. Have you tried FIMing autos before? It's the first time I see it. Then again, my grow is on the second week and I'm planning to top them and still am worried I might damage them (never done it before). Thanks for the diary!
