How To Fim Cannabis Plants
Fimming cannabis is considered a HST or high stress training technique and is similar to topping cannabis as you need to cut or damage the plant to promote growth to the lower nodes. Fim is short for “Fuck I Missed” and was said to be a training method developed from a grower topping his plant and making the cut to high and after noticed 4 new tops forming. Fimming is often used by growers to increase yields and make the plants more manageable in a small grow area. Depending on your plant after fimming you can end up with 2, 3, 4 or more tops
Difference between topping and fimming
Fimming is very similar to topping but not as stressful to the plant. The difference is instead of cutting the stem between the internodes, you cut or pinch right through the vegetative material at the growing tip of your plant. Topping will create 2 new tops where fimming will create 3 or 4 new tops if done properly. Topping requires you to cut the stock of the plant where fimming requires you to pinch or cut the new growth of the plant.

Yeah I always fim. I always thought why would someone want to top vs fim. Why would someone want to top, vs fim, assuming they know the differences, and want a different result? Because I know lot of people just think topping is the way to do it.
I always top myself more accurate. Fimming can be random you can end up with 2 tops, 3 tops 4 tops or possibly more depending on the plant. I like to grow my plants in a way they are easy to train I find fimming makes the plants grow wild where topping keeps things symmetric.
Makes sense.
