Fimming autos help

So I fimmed these three autos a couple weeks ago, and I’m noticing on two of my plants it seems as if it did nothing, and on one it seems to have worked. If anyone could look at these pictures of my fims and tell me what I did wrong I’d appreciate it



The two that seemed to do nothing


The one that seemed to work



The two that I don’t think worked


The one that did I think worked


All three plants and you can see the top right one is shorter…

Yep looks like F I Missed (Fim) it happens. I have a sour diesel auto I missed on and just went with LST and she is my biggest.

So why do you think it didn’t work on the other two?

Didn’t pinch quite enough off. I prefer topping over fimming. For autos that usually around week 3 and topping has worked better when I grow it to the 5th-6th node and top back to 4. LST after that seems easier and more space for the side branches to grow.I’ll tag you on my run of autos :love_you_gesture:

That’s what I was thinking, it was my first time doing it so wasn’t really sure how much to leave or take lol

Fimming is tricky, too much and you end up with a topping, too little and you end up growing naturally. With the growth I see and age of the autos, I would LST the 2 as just bend and manipulate the main and Sadie branches. :love_you_gesture:

Do not quite get that 80% snip. @OGIncognito Has got you covered.

Could I super crop them to level off the canopy or is it too late for that

Super cropping autos is super risky and should only be used if you’re growing into your light and need the height plus super cropping is usually done late in growth and that would put you in flower time. Check out my page, the Sour D #1 I have in late flower was a missed fimm and just LST. You can get an even canopy with LST training and long thick main colas growing from the sides :love_you_gesture: early training pic below

I’ve fimmed some not sure if it worked or not. The ones I did find seem like the lowest node on the tree grew up so tall that the 4 lowest nodes are at the top of the plants canopy

Looks fine this is a bean you know. She may have gotten a little more sock when she got topped.Your nodes are coming out.
Happy growing.
