I think you got the gist of the 'after math', thats just counting the new shoots.. Regarding the aftermath, usually mine did that too, but I was far from mastering this technique so I dunno how common it is..

First of all thanks to B2K for helping out and sharing his knowledge with us all.
I only FIM my plants once but I know of others that do it many times to a number of the new growths. Post up a pic to show us what your working with and so we can see your progress.
I havnt had any abnormal growth before but I have seen some that have and I dont think it is anything to really worry about. If you got new growths coming through then id say you done it right.
Sometimes my plants are not being fed nutes yet at the time of FIMming depending on its size but there is no need to change the PPM levels because of the FIM if your plant is happy with what its getting. As they grow you can bump up the nute levels.

One thing ppl who know alot know is how much they have yet to learn..
I often bring this up as an example: I know a hell of alot about wilderness survival, been roughing it alot of my life.. When I went to university I found myself surrounded by all these tree-hugger city kids who think books and internet have prepared them for anything, and always bragged their asses off.. Initially I just tried to ignore them, then one day I actually learned something from one of them, and from that point on my ears stayed open..
Moral is, regardless of who is talking you gotta listen because even though your experience may dwarf theirs, if you always want want to improve yourself you need to be open to new diamonds in the rough..

I only FIM once and use LST aswell which is what helps to create even more main colas. They work great together and in my opinion it is the best way to get bigger yields.

My appologies if the answer is already here, but could you tell me, does doing this reduce the potency of the plant at all? Also - can all the extra trimming at the bottom be done at the same time without undue stress on the plant?Just a couple updates on the previously FIMmed Afghan in its new home. I went over there and repotted it into a 15gal pot and you can see how wide the canopy has become. Now that its got a good home under good lighting its really going to start to take off.

im pretty sure its called fuck i missed because of topping(intention to top) and fimming instead you know? depending on the maturity of each plant this would be easy or hard to do(miss) its just old slang but great guide man really informative, im a supercropper myself but get dissapointed when strains dont react the way id like them too, fimming seems universally accepted by all strains of cannabis, anyways man good guide and those finishing plants were fucking gorgeous.

It wont effect potency at all. You can do some trimming at the same time but I wouldnt trim all the way up straight away.

Alot of folks on here sure do alot of trimming.. My rule of thumb is to trim only when there is an actual reason to do so, not just because you see no reason not to..

have you tried trimming it up a ways before though? makes sense to me if there's no branches below the top 1/3, the plant focuses on what's left up top
