FIM'ng vs topping?

[rocpilefsj]

Hey all. Wondering what everyone's thoughts on FIM and topping is? Which does everyone prefer? Any help is greatly appreciated on the matter. Thanks.

Topping produce 2 tops. FIM produce more.

I like to top my plants early if I decide to to get a "twin palm" kind of growth.
If I need to, I top again.
I don't have anything to do with 9-15 tops I would get for topping twice using the FIM method.

When I use a SCROG I rather top twice and supercrop as it gives me more place for adjustments.
When running a SOG kind of grow (with low amount of plants, never used more than 20 per square meter) I top twice to fill the room and LST when needed.


If I was to run a low number of plants (1-3) in a SCROG you might be better.

Thanks for the info! Anyone else?

Use both in conjunction with LST for largest (albeit labor-intensive) yields.

more tops DOESN'T MEAN more yield.

more tops DOESN'T MEAN more yield.

Is it more or less just luck of the draw or what? Just want to make sure I do my research before I go ahead.

its all a question of setup.
You can grow monster colas and run a few and you can grow tons of smaller colas.
Depends on your style and system.

Sweet thanks. Nice grow journal too by the way.
