Re: What is the FIM pruning technique?

this tech has been around a long time. people here use it to encourage bushing in mother plants so they produce hundreds of cuttings. for budding though, having eight tips per branch isn't nessicarily good as they tend to crowd each other out and produce a number of smaller buds. i prefer advancing one stem with five to seven leaders per square foot of growing area. i find this ratio gives top results .
