Just a quick note to thank you and inform you that this small "how to" worked for me at my very first fim. I got 4 shoots (possibly more??? some shoots look like branch but may as well be leaves, not sure yet). Either way, I am a happy grower :D

Hi everyone, hows the FIMming going? I been away from the internet forums for a while so I do apologize to all those whos questions and pm's have gone unanswered. I will try to reply to you all even though it may be a bit late.

I dont like not being able to edit my original post to add more info and detail to keep it up to date. It would make things a lot easier for everyone if the original post contained as much up to date info as possible rather than people having to search through all the pages in the thread.

hey M blaze welcome back, great thread learned heaps, ive fim my last batch abd about to stich to flowering there looking great, just 1 quesiton ive cut clones and i usually grow the clones to about 15cm to 20cm before translanting under MH, when transplanting it takes about a week for them to start growing agina, so my question is can i Fim and transplant in the same time, so all the shock happens in 1 step or is that too much stress?

If the clone has rooted and has 4 true sets of leaves then it will be safe to FIM. Basically the smaller they are when you start the better results you will get. If you want to see the differences for yourself you could try FIMming a few of them at different times. It makes the grow more interesting as well to compare plants of the same strain that were FIMmed at different times.

Well, just tried this for the first time today on pair of 18" dj shorts blueberry's. I think I did it right, but I'll have to wait and see how it comes out. :)

This technique is awesome. Thanks M Blaze. I have been practicing on some bag seeds that I am only using for experimentation. I fim'd when my plant was 6-8" or less and ended up getting 4 new potential bud sites. I just fim'd a bigger plant that is about 1 foot tall, but I believe I did it incorrectly. I only cut the middle part of the new growth and basically left the two branches of new growth alone.
