Hey quick question: I took a leap of faith and did my first FIM.
5th node… but the NEXT leaves were coming out more than others I’ve seen FIMming theirs.
Did I screw up and sort of FUp (fim) the FIM???
Picture before vs after.
Tell me if I did. I can take the truth.

Ok, one more check. Does this look okay 24 hours later??
A FIM is supposed to make 4 cola stems instead of 2 with just topping, right? Do you see 4? At least the flat top is not flat anymore.
Is this what it is supposed to look like?

Time will tell but personally I don’t see the split. Could be a little early.

VirginiaGrowBoy:
4 cola stems
‘Up to’ 4 colas. It’s not always 4 that come up. Looks good. You can FIM again after the plant puts up 3 or 4 new nodes.

Takes more than a few days to see the true results of a fim. Sometimes even when you miss a fim it slows the main stem down and the others catch up. I fim’d 4 plants missed on 2 them but they still ended up like bushes anyway. This fim was done correctly, I lucked out and she gave me 5 mains with 2 smaller branches growing out of it also

Good information people! Looks like not being perfect is okay too.

It looks like I more or less just went All In. That is, I just supercropped my 24-hr old fimmed auto.
Probably too much to do all at once… but what’s done is done. Impatience is my biggest character defect. Does at least the super-cropping look okay?
I plan to do almost nothing over the next 2 weeks other than gradually move the tie downs outward.
I hope I didn’t way overdo it.

My supercrop made the stem separate a little on both sides. It sort of has a split on each side.
Is that okay or do I need to tape that like it had broken in half?
