Thinking about fimming one plant

[martymcfly]

Can I fim in flower phase, or would it stress the plant?

 

[martymcfly]

Anyone????

 

[MacEFL]

If i'm not mistaken it would be counter productive to FIM now. You would be taking the top, which will be a bud and ripping it off. As it's in flower it won't have time to re-veg. IMO. That is usually done in veg to make the plant short and bushy!

 

[martymcfly]

Thanks, there will be no fimming ...

yea don't before it flower yes in flower you don't want to take away any energy from what it needs to do
I do however still super crop in flower sometime not by choise but just having to try to keep it from touching the light

At the beginning of flowering I also had to supercrop, by accident while trying to bend the top, it seemed to not cause any harm to it so far. Buds are growing sideways lol

 

[CronicHempHog]

yea it doesn't do anything really noticeable
except grow a different way lol

 

[martymcfly]

Even during flowering? I think I'll err on the side of caution and try that on my next grow, as I'm not really expecting a big yield for my first grow, at least it hasn't turned into a disaster yet.

 

[CronicHempHog]

yea the last super crop I did on my current nycd was about a week ago maybe week and a half?
going into week 7 as of tomorrow
im still abusing the hgk with super cropping cause its touching the light

You should not FIM or Top in flowering as the plant will not have sufficient amount of time for re growth and flowering.

 

[martymcfly]

Thanks again to you all ... my saviors .... I'm going to post in the faq about something, I'd appreciate some feedback from y'all.

 

[martymcfly]

Well. I have another problem now ... My tent is 10x10 but only 3 weeks into flower. I guess I'll have to tie them down because 3 are already 4 feet tall.
.

 

[daTenshi]

Just be careful not to break the stem like I did, not that there's an issue but try not to force it, do it a little every day. Because I kinda overdid it and broke the main stem, did no obvious damage, but it couldn't sustain its own weight anymore so I had to support it with a vertical tie from the ceiling.

 

[martymcfly]

Thanks, I'm going to start tying down slowly, like an inch or 2 per day, is that ok?

 

[KingJohnC]

Yes you can tie down your plants.

 

[martymcfly]

Thanks KJC, I will start tomorrow

 

[daTenshi]

Just as far as she goes without forcing it, and then do same once every couple of days.

 

[martymcfly]

Yeah, thanks guys ... I tied them down enough that they are getting a great more amount of light, and will continue every 2 or 3 days.

Hi miss mouse!!
Theres a thread on low stress training - lst...
Im sure it will help.

If one breaks I guess you will see what supercropping is about

Slow and gentle is good, you adore your ladies so err on the side of caution.
I enjoy your posts
