would this work with an auto flowering strain? i know there are a lot of differences between auto's an non-auto's. for example, you cant clone an auto.
thanks
FIM'ing won't work on an auto. The veg period is just too short and yield will suffer greatly.

BTW, you can actually clone an auto plant. There's just no advantage to it as it is not capable of reveging. You just lose lots of yield by attempting to clone rather than leave the mother in tact.

Just read this whole thread!!!! SOoo much good info. I have tried topping but never fimming. Thanks a lot M Blaze for all the Info and EVERYONE for sharing there experinces.

I think shroomyshroom wanted an update on the afghan you gave away to someone who had more room or w/e.

Once I fim ill let everyone know how it goes.

One question: when i Got my clone it was basically topped. SO now i have two main branches already(its about 8 inches tall). iF I FIM both of these two branches, will that be too much weight for each branch or will it just be very bushy then.

Thanks!

Also Does Fiming work well if someone wants to do a SOG method? Does it take up to much space or time or does it work good.

Thanks a lot

I will get some update pics of the Afgahn asap.

It shouldnt be too much weight but it should be supported some way so the stem doesnt split down the middle like in the pic below.

I guess that depends on the type of sog setup but im not the best person to ask about sog.

This trick is about redirecting vegitative growth.. At this point you don't want the plant thinking vegitative growth at all..

Isnt Veg growth what you would want for something like fimming? SO you can get the extra branches and extra tops?? Sorry if i missed this comment. Dont really understand though.

Yes you are right. B2K was reffering to the question about FIMing during flower.

Once flowering has begun a DEADLINE is set.. You want the plant task oriented for flowering, not piddling around growing more branches than it naturally would, that it won't even have time to make the most out of..

ahhhh gotcha!!!

I just fimmed my one plant. It was topped already at like 3 inches and now i Fimmed the two main branches..... So ill see how that goes( will def need to be tied up). I assume Fimming takes a little extra time to make new branches and shoot as opposed to topping right???

Thanks again
