fim is when you just cut part of the leafy growth in the middle if you take the whole thing off then that would be topping. FIMing causes the lower branches to take off while topping does this too it also creates more top cola's.

You're supposed to cut off about 90% of the growing shoot and leave 10% intact.

As has been stated:

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]If you push the leaves apart at the very top of the plant you should see a small bud (not flowering bud but an actually leaf bud). Use a pair of nail clippers to pinch off about 3/4 of the bud. This should result in more than two top colas being developed. In a single FIM clipping you can produce up to eight new top colas.


It's up to you which one you want to do. The BEST thing to do is to have a few plants of the same strain that you top, a few that you FIM and a few that you leave alone and compare yields.[/FONT]
