New Growth? F.I.M RESULTS (2 days)

[ZaK_420]

Fimmed my plant on the 11th it's now the 13th is my F.I.M right? I usually top and have only used F.I.M once and I got 4or5 tops which was awesome to me so I tried it again and am hoping for the best.

Looks good to me bro!

 

[Greenthumblady]

Look good. I wish you many tops!
I tend to wait until they're on the 5th or 6th set of leaves to fim or top so it's well into its explosive growth spurt and a bit less of a shock but I'm sure they'll come thru fine

I usually fim or top for anything that may be taller than I wanna handle. I usually let one grow natural and manipulate the other. Although the many heads on a fim/topped babe are impressive the naturally grown one is usually more weight. A combo of types of LST seems to benefit with more weight.

Hey guys thanks for all the feedback I appreciate it. Ok so last grow I topped and fimmed at the 4or5th node to and I got 4or5 tops so I figured the earliest that the plant is able to handle it and recover I'm gonna fim so that's why I did it this early on also I'm gonna be LST for sure but here is a update on my plant 4 days after fim.

@ZaK_420
You seem like the kinda guy that might be into mainlining. Have you tried or researched it?

 

[ZaK_420]

I was actually gonna do that originally but whenever I see people mainline they always start with topping then mainline can I still mainline?

Yes I top back to the 4th. Just make sure to leave about 1/2-1” of the stem to help prevent splitting.

This is also a autoflowers so do you know how many times I could fim and top compared to photos?

 

[Wattzzup]

Well that’s a different game. I have topped 3 separate times before but I would recommend 1 time. Then LST and spread it out.

I wouldn't do too much more training on an auto. You should be able to get away with some LST as the mains develop but typically you use one HST, if any, then let it grow. They typically start to flower by week 4 and you will want to be mostly done by then.

 

[ZaK_420]

So is mainlining ok or should I do a different lst method so I could fim or top 1 other time besides now and then just let?

 

[ZaK_420]

My plant is 15 days old btw does it look ok for 15 days?

I do not think mainlining an auto is a good idea. It requires quite a bit of manipulation and you're likely already halfway through veg

That’s why I said top one time if he’s going to.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was answering where he asked specifically if he should mainline that one. It's already been FIM and IMO it doesn't look like it will be big enough to top before flower begins in a few weeks without ending up with a very small plant

It looks healthy. It's a bit small, but I'd expect that since you did the FIM already. It should really take off over the next two weeks.

Thanks for the replies I appreciate any feedback good or bad I just want to learn and get better so I heard they hit a growth spurt is that what your talking about? also if there is any other tips or anything about autoflowers or growing that would be great?

They typically stretch during transition yes.

That's great then and then in flower it stop growing in height and just gets bushier so lst will be great also if you have any recommendations on the best way of growing for weight this auto is Bum Wine by Ronin Gardens got it from DC seed exchange it's a cross between hubbabubbasmellascope and tryone special limited both from mephisto genetics so hope to have some good quality hence the genetics I also have sour 60 I started the 10th and it's growing way faster then my bum wine it's supposed to be a 60 day strain so faster then the bum wine finish.

Stop taking/worrying about how many days. Those guys lie. Plan on 10 weeks min.
