Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and this is my first grow in many many years. And now with all this unlimited info and bs we have now with the internet i found many techniques that interest me that my hightimes mag as a teenager just didn't have.
Anyway I became very interested in the "FIM" technique, don't know why just did, so I decided to try it. Only prob is with all the searching and reading I did, I seems nobody is quite sure what it does and there are next to none as far as results or outcomes. So I decide to try it a little different on each cut gathering info I found on the net and now I wanna share my results for the next guy.
From what I have witnessed since cutting, this will increase veg time, thicken stems, strengthen plant overall, and make every node possible branch. The vert growth seemed to stop and the plants just bushed. The bottom branches seem to take off with the most growth, almost catching up to the mains. On one plant and just one cut seemed to do what the fairy tale said it would and branched 9 times. Remember I cut every one a little different to see the different outcomes, the one that did branch more than a top was the one I cut the closest to topping without topping. There was only one plant that didn't have great results and it was stressed out before I cut, but still branched the same just without the overall thicker growth and stems.
So I guess my point is, FIM will slow down your overall veg time but tricks the plant into bushing and if you do it just right you might grow many branches off many nodes that bunch up around your cut and end up with many branches off one branch. Other cuts you wont even get the two that you would from topping but you will get them elsewhere. Either way I'm sticking with it.
Hopefully these pics upload and you all can see, please be nice. No negative new idea haters welcome!
Must add: after cutting your girls will be ugly and grow half leaves but the ones after that point will be fine. My pics are 3 weeks after cutting and you can see the retarded leaves if you look.
