Fimming and Topping = mroe bud??

so is supercroping part of fimming???

fimming you just cut at the top where all the growth is right?

I need to know if I'm gonna be put on some ''list'' or something like that after I ordered seeds and sent them to my house?

so would you guys recomend supercropping after fiming? or even after fiming and lsting?

i would fim 1st like thumbs up dude says and go by the chart that is on this thread. Then wait till all the plant stress is gone from fimming and start supercropping. Super cropping is essentially forming a cola at evey node site. So if you fim you create more nodes in general. Then if you supercrop, every node that you didn't even know was there will turn into a nice big cola. They can work hand in hand with each other, but you must allow enough time between both techniques, as not to over stress the plant.

so what about lst then supercropping?

Well Lst is basically a more pain in the ass form of supercropping. I wouldn't recommend it because your already bending and constantly rearranging your stems to open your canopy up up. LST is productive, dont get me wrong, I just feel its easier and more effective to just supercrop after fimming.. Good luck

p.s. if u do LST u can supercrop spare limbs it will just be less effective

i'm playing with this now.Last 3 plants I lst'd one, left two untouched.2 strains the same so we'll compare the yeild on those.untouched got me 2.8 oz's dry,nice large top colas but lower buds where weak looklin and small.LST'd plant went 3.4 oz's with a bunch of tops colas and all buds looked nice and tight.Top colas where not as big as the untouched one but there where a bunch more of these then just 1.Made like 10 nice colas about 6 to 10 inches long instead of 1 at 18 inches.
This next round we supercropped which is looking the same now as the lst but a bunch easier and no rope needed.Didn't slow the plant down at all either.I too grow in all foxfarm soil and run there complete line of nutes.Plant flower start was at 18 inches on the first batch.lst's plant went 36 inches tall verses 47 on the untouched one.We'll not let them grow untouched again and will supoercrop from here on out.
lsting is a pain in the ass but does work.You'll need more plant space since they want to grow out instead of up but it does keep the light closer to the lower parts of the plant.I did'nt mean to try supercropping but when I was tye'in a plant over the stem just folded over. So we called it good and let her rip.2 hrs later the top was trying to point back at the light just like a lst job.no rope needed and never slowed the plant.this was done first 2 weeks of flower.plant now looks just like the roped over one but no rope,,,, we like,,, we like

i like that diagram, however where the cut line is.... you dont cut the new and growing in fan leafes there too do you? :S

in the diagram, the red line that goes across all parts of the plant ( the FIM Line) is what you cut. The whole red line. You push the fan leaves aside and cut exactly where the red line is. If you use scissors, sterilize 1st. I have cut to where it equalled 2/3 of the fim line and got a couple more colas, Move up the red line towards the top of the plant and cut just a little higher. But if its your first time go by the chart. FIM is so much better than a regular topping procedure. Than do yourself a favor and learn how to supercrop. U can combine both and you will shit with your yields!!! At least i shit my trousers because 2 plants can seem like 4 or 5 high yielders... No shit. Good luck and holla if you have questions or need some shit from my trousers. lol
