I have tried (many times) Supper Cropping, Topping, 4 top, Fim, pinching, etc. My best results every time come from FIM. I fim at 6-7 nodes high then much later when I go to transplant I take off the bottom branches and bury the plant deep so it looks like I have many branches coming out of soil. I prefer to fim twice mabe 3 but only if it's a sativa and a stretcher. Then I would fim 1 week before going 12/0
