Fimming in flower

[Trickyticky]

Ok lads an lasses ,
Has any body fimmed there plants week 4-5 of flower ?
You's would be surprised of the outcome if you's havnt tried it ,

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

Ok I've not heard of that what is it as always any information would be greatly appreciated

 

[Trickyticky]

Ya know where the buds form into cone ? Yeh
Well , bout week 4-5 just snip of about 3-5 mm of the peak of the bud , you would be suprised , sends the bud sideways and fills out massively ,
Think It's called back building cannabis or brick building cannabis , look into it .

A havnt got none mate , will get some when plants are in there 4-5 week flower , if anyone has the plants at that stage , try it on a couple heads , you will like what ya see , if longer flowering strain then add extra couple weeks before fimming .

Do not fim in flower! Fim before the stretch only, or you will lose harvest weight.

[Trickyticky]

Ah well , we'll agree to disagree , not getting into a gunsling ova it

 

[smokinrav]

Not trying to fight lol. Fimming should be done according to the size of your flower light. Small lights, fim earlier.

Yeh mate , I've done it a few times with good results . It's one of those topics , some will say aye , some will say no . Instead of forming into a point they fill out to the size of the fattest part of the bud , ya get what I mean ?
Wouldn't recommend it if it didn't work mate .

Fim stands for Fuck I missed. It was a technique someone stumbled on when trying to top a plant. They did not cut far enough down and instead of one cola turning into two it created multiple colas.

I'll be doing it when the time comes mate . Only just starting to show pistols .

That sounds like what they call bud "backbuilding".

And no, haven't done it.

 

[Trickyticky]

Try it mate , ya dinnit have t do all plants , just try on 1 cola , ya cannot knock it till ya try it

backbuilding works. I thought you were talking about topping them right before flower, or on the switch. Yeah, trimming the top of your bud will stimulate it to, I suppose, repair itself, which gives it a fuller top.
