I got fat bottom bushy girls, canopy is like a 8" thick 3'x3' foam table top going into flower. That's after I defoliated what I thought was a fair amount. I just topped the central stalks on all of them. I'm thinking I will ease into the weedscaping this grow, starting to see some mild (i hope) nutrient issues so going to just focus on that. This is my first indoor soil grow and between watering and nutrients, hydro was easy mode IMO.

Hi GT, nice tutorial, just two things: 1. It's FIM (fimming) not FEM 2. When fimming (B) you do NOT take whole top-center, just upper 3/4 of it, if you'll take whole you just topped the plant as point C. I loved "sparta" approach :)

Love the channel but agreed. The 1st example is topping, not fimming. If it was fimming, you'd leave the 2 shoots to the side and cut most of the top one, not all of it though. You certainly wouldn't cut the whole thing though. Love ya GT.

Yeah he got me super confused with topping and the fimming part . If you were to top wouldn’t you just take that one specific node off so that way the 2 nodes bottom of the apical node would become 2 main branches now ? And another thing where I was confused is when he mentioned fimming , he said that you fim all 3 nodes isn’t that not correct ? I thought fimming is short for “ fuck I missed “ and it comes from trying to top a plant but you accidentally don’t take the whole apical node off so what actually ends up happening is the bottom growth of the plant actually try’s to become main branches and the apical node that you fimmed grows back again also , since you didn’t end up topping it . That’s what I always thought 🤷‍♂️ Either way I absolutely love that he’s doing these type of videos . He’s a great content creator , keep doing what your doing GT ! One love brotha

Love your videos, but your example of fimming seems incorrect from my experience. You don’t cut the entire new growth from the top. You should cut about 75% of that new growth and leave a little U shape at the top. You will get 4-6 tops from that cut instead of the 2

That true! I think it kinda depends on if you want more smaller buds, or fewer bigger ones. I'd imagine you could interchange techniques depending on the general bud size of the strain.

Thanks GT, this is the first I heard of Fem'ing a plant, until now I had assumed it was considering topping, no matter how much, or how little of the top of the plant you cut off. Using the whiteboard was a stroke of brilliance as it REALLY is far more helpful than just explaining it, at least for those of us new to growing, since as they say, I picture is worth a thousand words, but you gave us both words and pictures, all without falling afoul of the KZfaq Stormtroopers

Don't forget to root the cut off tops if you want clones. A clone can be pretty small and still strike roots. Great explanation GT. Plant training is really interesting. I bet you'd love bonsai trees if you got into them, you use a lot of similar techniques and concepts. A ficus from a box store is a great cheap way to try it out. They're tough trees. The bonsai nut forum is a great place to ask questions.

I am never in a rush so I almost always start at the 6/7 node and fim it. That usually allows the bottom branches to catch up. Sometimes I fim the top 2x to allow the bottoms to catch up. I then just defoliate enough to make sure everything gets light. Then about 3 weeks before flower I put in a scrog net in and let it branch out before flipping.
