Fimming and sluggish behavior

so does fimming cause the plants too go sluggish for a day ?

Yeh it does, but more like a week imo...

This has been my experience as well.

I always walk away for a week at least after fiming , the girls look sad at first , but once they get over the stress they catch up on growth and then some

im even wondering if this one was over watered.. i have great drainage. but a few days ago they were going on a week with out water and the soil still felt good not wet but good. but i waterd any way the others are looking great ... but this little bad girl

Hey brother you have something else serious going on. Fimming can slow some progress but it will never distort and contort the leaves like that. I would not want to venture a guess as to whats going on but I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with nipping your tips.

Let her dry out to the point of starting to wilt, won't hurt a bit.

Best of luck, you have good green color so the outcome is rosy if you can determine the exact problem.

Peace - Aim

Well not sure what advice I might have offered. Anyway good luck on the grow. I'm just pretty sure the weird growth characteristics you are seeing are nothing to do with your fimming / trimming job.

But I HAVE been wrong before, back in 2010. Joke if you get it. Actually I am wrong a lot as my wife tells me.

Your good green color is a real positive sign.

View attachment 2543290The something else is...... you are useing enriched composted soil then adding nutes to it this little plant could have fed on the composted fuels in the soil for weeks before needing to add anything. This is called multiple macro overdose. The F.I.M. allways slows your plant up by 1 to 2 weeks. I use this very usfull TOOL to slow my plants down for others to catch up and AND to produce multiple tops if done right you could get multiple F.I.M. ing from your plants to facilitate the begining of perrpetual grow. see Photos attached, These clone mothers have been F.I.M. ed twice for producing clones,.By utilizing this topping tool you can cut clones "and" prepare your mothers for bloom. I.E create full tops see attached for this, This is how to get those big thick "I'm envyouse of that bud" colas.
Opps, gave up one of my secretsView attachment 2543288.View attachment 2543279View attachment 2543275View attachment 2543289

See journal on stress free clone mothers, These are f.i.m.'d on the plant and cloned on the doner mother, new colas and roots grow at the same time. When roots appear on bottom of rockwool cube the branch is cut away. Oraganic honey is dabbed on the wound (mother) and you have a new stress free, pre-F.I.M'ed, vigorousely growing clone mother. Just another one of my secrets to sucessfull cloning. And More on the topic of F.I.M. (fuck I missed tech).
