FIM Tpping Question Rep+

Hey I just topped my plants but a week or so ago I tried FIM and now insead of new tops I have 2 nodes with chopped leaves. Why?

got the same when i FIM'd. but after a while it grew out bushy as hell

i have a kush plant that looks like my cats were eating the leaves (they're not) after i fim it. those leaves are ugly but the new growth is always fine

When you top, you actually cut the stem. When you FIM, you are really cutting 2/3 of a new set of leaves. This triggers the plant to grow 2 nodes as well as the leaves so youll end up with 3-4 nodes rather than just the 2 you would get from topping. The leaves will be deformed because well, you removed most of it when you FIMed.

Dont forget to FIM the FIM.
