So you got more growing shoots with topping? That is interesting as my experience was different. Whenever I top I get two main trunks. When I FIM I get like 5-6. Topping does however seem to be a little more predictable however as I always get the same result. The FIM results are fairly strain dependent (and FIM dependent). I may just place my plants in a single row next time, top them, and then orient all the stems out towards the sides of the screen. I need to post pics in my journal, my plants are mobbing out of the screen and flowering like mad. Not even out of the second week of flower and they have already slowed and are flowering.
your grow sounds awesome. Love the sig by the way. I would say it al depends where you cut when topping. My fimmed only splits the top and 1 became two. I only fimmed the main as I did it only to encourage secondary growth. If you just top the main at he top you get two mains. There is actually a whole mathematical system of where to cut(which node) to determine how many branches. I'll look for it when I get time. I'll alo say for the people afraid of losing the potency of main stem "potency-smotency" lol. My secondary buds were just as good as the main cola. Now I have no ay to measure other than the high, and stone couch lock is stoned couch lock, no matter where it comes from on the plant. Here is one of my secondaries and it was bad-ass.
