In this post we will talk about FIM technique. FIM takes its capital letters from "Fuck I Messed up" and it is one of those non-aggressive techniques, more effective for plant's height control. In addition this technique may result so useful to multiply the number of tops, and by derivation to improve crop's yield.
The FIM technique is one of those methods discovered by error, by a grower that, without wanting, find out what later on has been one of the best techniques to control plant's height and multiplication of tops in growth.
The theory applied to this technique is based in sectioning the superior shoot of each branch so later on plants show a multiplication of its tops, improving its wide and covering a better horizontal surface - instead of a huge main cola grower will get multiple tops that will become in better yields-.
Main benefits of FIM technique
Less plants needed to cover a certain area.
Less growing height needed.
Less probability of botrytis - due to a more quantity of lower sized buds-.
Improve of total yields.
When should I apply this technique?
The FIM technique is very interesting for all kind of plants and cycles, plants that are growing and then will be switched to flowering, as well as for plants that will be kept in continuous vegetative stage - mother plants- for cloning production.
Also it can be very useful in outdoor growing when grower is interested in increasing horizontal covering area, instead of letting plant grow free - normally to avoid plant to overstand surrounding plants by its height-. Anyway, this easy technique should be applied during vegetative stage of plants, to get a bushy plant with multiple branches.
If our intention is to retain plant's height, we should start applying FIM technique once plants reach its 3-4 shoot, since germination. This way we will start multiplying its tops since early stages. This practice can be done until infinite, because while plant will still be in vegetative stage wee could do top after top without limits.
How to apply FIM to cannabis?
Said this, we will explain how to proceed with FIM in marijuana plants, without risks, and with maximum effectivity, so every grower see with their own eyes and experience the benefits of this technique.
1st: Choose the concrete point where to place this technique: Focus our vision in the top of the plant - or any of side-branches-.
2nd: With the help of a cutter, or scisors, make a section of the 80% of the superior shoot.
3rd: Wait some days until plants re-shoot, and then apply again to new shoots.
