maybe I will have to call it fallinghigh's pruning technique.
Once the plant reaches 18" to 24" remove top 2-4 fan leafs pending on number of nodes. never remove more than 25% of total fan leaves.
Dont do any trimming or pruning after that . Now grow for at least a couple weeks before inducing flowering,for best results.After WEEK 3 FLOWER you remove small underdevolping bud sites
you can also hyperveg at this time. When you remove the leaves flip lights from 24hr to 18 hr to stimulate growth spurt stage of flowering. If hypervegging wait 3 weeks after flipping to 18 hr light before moving to 12/12. This way regular veg resumes for at least 1 week before inducing a second growth spurt stage.BETTER HAVE BIG POTS THOUGH THEY WILL GROW FAST

Pinching is litteraly pinching a top. You are not slowing bud growth, you are inhibiting top height of that top. The others that were not pinched will play catch up now and you can create a nice even canopy.

The Top leaf trimming you are describing FallingHigh.... is called "canopy training" it is a method commonly used in Asia..... they don't use english words to describe it, its actually called something else, but thats what it translates into in English, So I would assume in American, the term is still open???

well the theory about stunted/stopping top main growth to push auxins to the side shoots and even out the canopy makes sense. thats basically wat im lookin for is the least stress method to train a canopy to be even and wide thru a scrog but dont want to veg forever. how many weeks of veg does this "fallinghigh" method take? lol cuz id like to only veg 3-4 weeks total. i want to do hydro to avoid long veg times but thats for a later time.
I like the FIM tech cuz its symetrical. I did LST and it requires more monitoring and playin with the branches to get them trained the way i want. its not as easy as a FIm obviously but it doesnt suffer nearly as much stress. im still readin up on supercropping/ pinching etc. but those methods dont seem to be in the same category im lookin for. i mite just let them grow natural no topping and train them thru the scrog with a weave. im considering doin an experiment and see wat works with the sour grape the best. jugfresh gave me a link to another sour grape grow and its kinda unpredicatble for everyone since the grow habits arent well known or documetned so im all for tryin too diff methods under two diff lights and see wat yields diff using the same nutes.

just like topping. topping removes the leaf, fimm cuts newgrowth in half. whatever you do god luck, i know it's hard when you get a lot of different advice. fimm does not shock the plant at all, in my opinion, mine showed new growth within 24hrs. topping does shock. good luck with ur decision, i'd fimm though.
