TOP or FIM

[kneegrow]

hi guys,

I have around 9 days left on my big buddha blue cheese, Now obviously i have taken cuttings and they are in a new tent waiting till the others are done my question is. With the cuttings is it best to TOP or FIM for a greater yield, As i did nothing to my others and i still am waiting on the yield amount. This time i do plan on either FIM or TOP but i am wondering if theres much difference in either of them?

Preference. A perfect FIM will result in the main splitting into 4 new mains, and topping will result in 2 new mains. You can always top those again to keep spreading out the growth.

i think i may try FIM then thank you, just with the size of the space i may aswell try get buds as big as possible.

Topping is a lot easier, as a FIM needs to be very precise in where you cut it.

Here's a diagram showing where to cut for both a Top, and a FIM:

When fim'n your new growth may look odd. A bit curly and distorted this is normal... Fim'n when done correctly works well, not always as easy as topping... Don't let that discourage you! Only way to get good is to keep trying! Good luck and enjoy the grow...
