I FIMmed my best lady but it doesnā€™t look like I did anything but just trimmed it back to just halfing my two leaves.


@Nicky @dbrn32 @Graysin @HMGRWN. What did I do wrong?

Give it time to grow and letā€™s see.

What post # is the fim did you take a pic of it and did I reply to it?

Maybe you missed. I agree with seeing how it grows out.

The FIMmed Pic is 442. Can you see the place where I pinched it off. @dbrn32 @Nicky

Thatā€™s the growth Iā€™d have pinched back - Iā€™m guessing thatā€™s where you did? Tbh itā€™s probably fine - thatā€™s sort of the very nature of the ā€œf*^< I missedā€ strategy. Iā€™m in concurrence, let it grow out. If it doesnā€™t split into a couple distinct sections, you can always just FIM the new growth again.

For a fimm. It is hard to know if it came out right till it grows out a little. Topping you can see right away :grin: Either way. You should be good. You can always re do it if it didnā€™t come out :+1:

Not really, but thatā€™s just FIMs. Lol. If it was a top thereā€™d be a clear cut in the stem but since itā€™s a fim itā€™s just leaves so hard to tell. Haha. Iā€™ve never seen a ā€œwrongā€ FIM yet tho. Iā€™m sure theyā€™re out there but I havenā€™t run into it yet.

I pinched off about 70 to 80 percent of the growth.

My question was did you take a picture right after the fim I seen the one at 442 right above my reply.

Like all have said at this point you just let it grow out and see how it grows letā€™s see what it looks like in a week.

Did you follow my fim guide?

Thank you so much. Any suggestions on my FIMming? @JaneQP

Looks fine for a FIM. What that will do is ā€œretardā€ that pinched growth and the plant compensates for it by more energy going to all undamaged tops.
Topping stops the growth forcing a distinct split which the plant compensates for by splitting the energy to make 2 true tops.
Both methods work comparably well. The difference is like pie or cobbler, same thing different presentation.
The difference in the 2 methods shows up more in photos because you can veg longer and really shape the plant.
