Title says it all, how'd I do? Did I cut to far down and basically top it? Also I lollipoped one of my plants. How does that look? Thanks for the help!

So I tried to FIM myself and all it did was grow back and continue to grow up. Now isn't the point of FIMing the same as topping? To slow upward growth and increase side shoots? Maybe I have a stubborn strain?

Yes, fiming is different from topping because you are suppose to only cut about 80% of new growth off. Where as topping you cut off all the new growth. Fiming increases your chances of getting multiple tops (up to 8 shoots) where as toping only gives you two new tops. Sometimes it isnt very apparent at first, do you have pictures?

Anyone got any comments on my FIM? Never done this before so trying to see if I did it right. Thanks
