Noob fimming & plant training :pics inside

So its my first time growing...on my 2nd set of 4 plants now. 3 of these are blueberry kush by kush seeds and one is paradise seeds delehaze...

So what i did was first learn how to top plants then i learned how to fimm. With combonation of fimming, lollipopping and low stress super cropping (i think thats what its called) i was able to do what i think should open up middle buds to more light and also cause side branch buds to aim for light possibly making them larger.

Note i did not spread these out until recently so week 1 budding on red bucket and rest 4-5weeks flower. Had i done this during veg before flower or right before flowering the side nugs on the main branches would have turned into multi nug bearing branches themselves all pointing up at light.

Any check out my pictures please and tell me if you think Im doing anything productive at this point or wasting my time

Also curious about what you guys think about early fimming versus late fimming. As far as main center stalk. I did them super early then fimmed each of main branches on the red one. Red bucket plant also vegged 2wks longer to grow out those fimms everywhere before budding

Ok, little confused...what all did you doing during flowering? ...but here is a tip, I'd do it now! You see where you drilled the holes? All that loose plastic? Go threw and clean all that up! I've had this happen to me , my oscillating fan that's blowing on the plants ended up blowing the plastic into my buds...and it's hard as shit to clean out...well I know it was for me because how shaky I am...just trying to pass ya something that won't be a headache later on

Heres sum more pics of other 3 in black pots i took pics of .

If anything atleast i learned how to fim with about 90% success from this experience. Once in while i get a weak 3rd branch but like the 4th will be thick.. The delahaze did that so i let the thik branch grow straight up the middle so it like has main center cola still with 3 other main cola around it. I may start diing this in veg way early and do less plants and cover more area. Go under my plant limit by couple

You didn't FIM during flower did you? I FIM as early as possible and as often as I can before I flip them. It looks like you are doing it all right except for the possibility of FIMMING in flower. FIMMING, Lollipopping, and LST are all great things to do and all in conjunction can create impressive yields. Essentially a SCROG without the screen.

Thanks for tip but obviously everything has been cleaned up now. Thanks...

I pulled the branches down with tape to low stress super crop is what i did in flower but in veg i did bunch of Fimming

Did u look at my pics? Do those fim jobs look like they were done during flower? Im so confused why you guys type before you look at what the op is saying. If u look at my plants and think you see a 5week flower being fimmed u just tell me then ok.
Sorry just lil annoyed didnt expect such anti common sense responses right off the bat after posting so many pics to be clear what i did. And in the text i clearly stated twice i fimmed early and bent branches down late. Whats confusion u guys have here

Ah yes a scrog screen... Need build those before next grow. Im building drain to waste table tray system. Hopefuly automatic watering system on timers too. Lots work ahead of me. I bought way more lights than i need to, only running 2 of the 7 600w kits i bought i need install 2 more i suppose get more yield?

I think you did a decent FIM job & done at the right time too (early on) but personally I would've let them veg out for a bit longer before the flip & tied down the higher branches to allow some of the lowers to become the same size as the rest of the colas. I train mine in a similar way: FIM, then supercrop & LST her to a short squatty bush with lots of fat nodey tops. Then I flip em...

Although a full SCROG screen will ensure max yields I find you can get a similar result if you tie down and/or supercrop the tallest colas to make them even. A plant with an even canopy doesn't know which cola is the highest and will favor them all the same making all the colas about the same size. Any cola that is higher than the others will trigger the plant to favor it as the main which typically grows a bit larger than the others. You want an even canopy that either stays nice & flat or curves slightly in a concave manner around your light source- this can be done with screens or simply by tying down the tall branches so they spread out & grow evenly. Plus the spread allows more light to the lower nugs. Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck & happy growing!

Thanks man, lots to think about before i do my next round.

Yes I read your ENTIRE post TWICE before replying. You weren't very clear. Please forgive me. I don't know how I'll manage to live with myself now. Please show me where you stated you fimmed them veg? Fimming early could mean you fimmed in early flower. You did say it was your first grow after all. Sorry I replied to your post. I'll refrain in the future.

Lol no problem im sure u still be able sleep

Anyway i did my scrog research and its time to buy the material to build them for each or maybe one big one for 4 plants. Now that i learned how fim like 90% success turning 1 into 4 i think ill be able pull it off. I cant believe how insane some scrogs look too just massive main colas. Boyoying
