I don't know why everyone calls it Uncle Bens technique... It is called topping a fucking plant people... By topping a plant you will naturally get (4) tops or more... Ok now everyone understands topping... Fimming is completely different from topping... Fimming is more of an experiment because you will could end up with many variables... Fimming is when you cut about 75% of the new growth on the top of the plant to acquire (4) top oppose to topping where you cut between branches at the stem... By fimming the plant will have (4) tops that will grow together from the beginning oppse to toppping where you will have to likely train your plant to keep (4) tops... What I have noticed with topping a plant is the (2) top branches grow alot faster than the other bottom branches thus you hav to train the top branches to slow down or train the lower branches to speed up... This is why I have decided to experiment with FIMMING... Its a new technique to me and I think anyone knows how to top a fucking plant so people get over it.....

1. Are you saying that if you top at the first node, you will get 4 tops or more?
2. Why would you have to train plant to keep your 4 tops? Can you tell me how you've done this in the past.
3. The top stems are higher because they are on the top!!! Not only that, but the auxin's (hormones) the plant produces go to the top of the plant and work there way down.

I don't normally do this but, he didn't ask for any of your advice so everyone should STFU and allow him to display his FIM experiment. I for one am interested to see how it turns out.

I FIMed my first grow after 4 weeks of veg and left it till I saw new growth (about 4 days) then flowered. I got 6 main colas on a 3ft plant that yielded me 5.5 ounces dry. I hope your FIM experiment works out. Please stop responding to other people on this thread and do what you planned to do. You look very uneducated along with everyone else fighting like little girls with sand all up their cooches. So chill and do your thing. Don't let anyone else bring you down. :)

shit man people need to sit back and read be4 they post trip on peoples threads man!
topping is totally diffrent to fimming.
1 topping a plant is more stressfull on a plant than fimming is.
2 you lose more growth topping than you would fimming.
3 it takes more time to recover after topping than it would fimming.
4 its impossible to fuck up either way but to be successfull fimming is extremely harder than topping.
5 in time consuming situations id fim always and have 4 main colas fuck the 16 its not like your gonna gain xxx amount of bud out of a bush inside, outside might be diffrent but thats for another thread. if i had a couple of weeks extra to play with id top the fuckers and get 2 strong branches but i like to get my shit on the street in less than 13 weeks from rooted clones to dry bud hence why i fim

First of all this post started out as a topping post, "4 Tops on 1 Plant... PICS..." Then after I made my first post phxfire added "FIMMING EXPERIMENT". So this post was confusing from the start. phxfire has asked for input, but if it doesn't align itself with his convoluted way of posting, he flames you!

Why, in your 6th post do you say this "4 shore... Dont really care to keep up with the forum lingo...I knew there was a name for what I was doing but could not find a website or anything with info... Thanks." if you were reading about fimming before making this post?

This thread never started as a TOPPING THREAD... Get your facts straight... I added fimming to the title because Some one said it was a little hard to understand my description of experiment in thread... AGAIN this thread NEVER said anything about this experiment being a topping experiment... A couple of people did not read the thread and started writting about UB topping...

SO GET OFF MY NUTS 1OLDGOAT...

1.... I never said that.. You speculated that..
2.... When you top a plant the are usually (2) tops below where you cut the stem.. Correct.. The other (2) tops are below the top (2) tops... Correct... Since you seem to know about the biology of plants.... I would assume you know that there are not (4) tops right when you top a plant.. Correct... (2) new branches grow from below the (2) tops and with training becomes (4) tops.. Is this not correct... With training I mean- You are applying light to the low branches to make them grow up to the (2) tops to create (4) tops...... right....

Topping is a plant training technique... Anything to change the natural growth of a plant is training... Lately I have been training my babies to talk.... If I have the fan going fast enough they talk to me... BAHAHA!!!! This is really turning into a joke....

Do we have to get all technical??

Bro with doing this you have to have 4 nodes OR what your trying to do works when you make your clones. I just did it and it came out exactly the way your trying to get it done.

Thats my clone and started to grow with 4 colas. hahaha
Just make your cuttings right below a node stump. Works Great!!

Phxire you should stop responding to anyone and just post your damn pictures.

Everyone else, it's quite obvious he didn't read about FIM before starting this thread. Although this thread was never about topping. It looks like he genuinely thought he was traveling the road less taken. I'm sure everyone has invented something that already exists.

People who fight over the Internet are a out right waste of space. I'm no longer interested in your thread. Good luck with your experiment.

I looked at the plant today and she is getting some new growth... Not growing as fast as I thought it would but it definitely growing... And I started this fimming experiment with a seedling... And to stop all the BS that is going on this thread...

1st of all I was REALLY HIGH when I did the fimming and when I posted this thread... So my bad if there are a few people that misunderstood me.... And yes I have read about fimming in the past and that is what made me decide to fim this plant and post it on RIU... I figured someone might have done this and give me a little advice but not tell me what to do...

I will be posting pics soon...

This will be my last responce to all this NON SENSE..... I have read about FIMMING in the past and yes I did not know the name of this technique but I did read about it... And YES I did add FIMMING to my title because I did not know the name of the technique.... But now we are all on the same page NOW...

I am doing an experiment with a plant from seedling... I fimmed the plant at the 2nd node... (Not A Clone) 01-02-11 will be the end of week 1 and I will post pics every week...

AND for those that want to debate over this for some weird reason.. Private Message me... And stop wasting space on this thread...

uygfytfuy.jpgi think i found out the reasoning why people dont really read or comprehend things anymore, because white trash dna is so far innertwined within most of today's folks, Fuckin A.D.D. disorder must be right behind aids nowadays cuz everyone acts like they have it, but anyway man, i recently tried fimming as well bout 2-4 days ago, too hazey to remember lol and didnt keep records, but i kept a photo, this one is from white domina at 21 days !!! i hope it works out but i cant really tell yet, too soon
