Just Topped, Need Advice.

After 2 weeks snip across the first top and after 4 weeks snip those 3 tops again the just put it straight into 12/12.
In the future though im just going to be growing lots of single stem plants as its less hasstle.

When i snip the tops and always leave a tiny bit of it left this gives me 2-3 tops instead of one on the first snip and i then a week later snip all 3 new tops in the same manner,you don't have to wait until they are big to snip them,in fact its better to snip them when they are fairly small with clean sharp nail scissors.

Im pretty stoned right now and its hard to wrap my head around wether i make sense or not lol:blsmoke:

I believe it is called FIMing when you leave part of the bud. I have a good example of what Natmoon is talking about. In my gallery I have a photo called FIMed Mango part 2, it's a birds eye view and you can see the diffierent growth tips. I did it by accident at first and wondered what was going on, then I read about FIMing and realized that is what I am doing. It takes longer for a plant to recover IMO but it is well worth it if you wanna try it out. You top but like nat said leave about 10% of the bud you are cutting.

I never knew they called it FIMing lol.
Learn something new every day.
I was taught to do it for more stems in a greenhouse grow about 20 years ago.
I was told that if you cut them in that way when they are young they split in a more radical manner and give more tops.
I am pretty sure it wasn't called fiming then.
It was probably called "cut the tops of and leave a bit on for more buds",lmfao:mrgreen:
 
Yeah FIMing was named by a high times reader and grower...it means Fuck I missed, meaning he messed up topping and then realized it was working out better.

Also depending on the strain this will increase your yeild immensely.
 
They did, not safe to use silica and flower when you want, you know how much yield you want and your lights...topping will slow the plant but you can still flower her. But no topping when she flowers it kills yield.
 
Hey weed guy, if you want to dry your weed or seeds using silica gel, just go buy a jar of moisture crystals at a garden store. I dried weed in an airtight container with it. (had no choice)
