What is the FIM technique?

[Baja Big Dog]

Can the part that is cut off be dipped in clonex and grown?

The technical answer is yes...because apparently any part of the plant will root!

Although, my personal answer would be no. The part(s) chopped during a FIMing are relatively small and have a limited chance of survival.

But I dare you to give it a shot and let us watch......

I think Im gonna try it in a separate grow room, and split some plants, for a good comparison...kinda scary though, but the levels introduced should be low enough.....

Experimenting is too much fun!!

Wait till you see the set up for being gone for 20 days, and the whole thing is hands off!!...HMMMMM can it be done???

Has anyone tried the FIM technique early in 12/12? I was reading on another board where a guy FIM'd after two weeks of 12/12 and is having great results.

It sounds like he only did one plant so that is not a real conclusive test, but he said much branching and 8" shorter than the rest of his grow at 5 weeks of flower. I would like to give it a go, I am about 4 days into 12/12 now, my only concern would be slowing down the maturing process as I am on a definite time crunch this run.
