Is this what FIMming is supposed to do?

View attachment 925276
That is about 5 days after an attempt at "Fuck I Missed" (FIMming)

Is it supposed to regrow all the leaves? i thought it was supposed to promote new growth....

YOu deff missed bro. its just taking all the new growth from in between the top nodes. it just replaces the one central stalk with 2 and some times 4. Mine are in the dark right now or i would post new pics. you may be able to see in my grow album in my profile. i have some that i topped all the same way and some sprouted 2 and some 4. an i always take the top tippity top of the new growth. i do the 5 or 6th node and all branches below and every branch there after to get a bushy budsy plant. ill show you tomorrow when the sun comes up.

thats what mine did, they looked like that for a while now they did this...

K thanks

i do the 5 or 6th node and all branches below and every branch there after to get a bushy budsy plant.

I dont quite understand... you constantly top the plants? doesnt that stunt development?

it works well, i did it with a few this round....they are certainly bushy LOL

It depends mine recover almost immediately. I top every branch after it shows the first set of leaves so i get 4 branches at every node. Love it. been doing it for years. Ill post good pics in the morn for sure.

i fimmed and i got three new growths coming up a week later, but ya you probably didn't cut low enough, sucks..

Id love to see some pics so i can decide if i wanna do it or not

my pic above is what it did to all my branches that i fimmed.

you do see it right? there is 3 leaves instead of two like the branches i didnt fim.

im about to post my new pics guys give me 5 minutes and ill show yall how mine did.

im certainly sticking with topping. i can get great results by topping above second node or third up to the 5th node and then topping each branch that grows tall. it ends up with a shit ton of 'tops' and then i just strip all growth from the bottom.

Pic 2 is an un topped plant only the brances have been topped. its a bit leggy but it will be ok. In pick three i toped about two weeks ago and she split into 2 tops then aobut 4 days ago 2 more smaller shoots came out of the same node. making 4 tops. the other side did the same thing giving me 8 total tops. Picture 8 is of a toped branch that has recovered with 2 branches. pic 5 is of 3 completely toped plants in one pot. im about to seperate them now. All these were topped the same way. the very newist growth on the tops of the central stem or the branches and some grew 4 tops and some just 2. so if you ask me there is just one topping method and 2 results. hope this helps a little.

thank you, no one really has good pictures seeing those new shoots looks great. you should make a FIMming thread and post your pics im sure many people want to see the result, not just the how-to

look like you did it right to me
just give it time
there will be new growth
if you remimber you only had 1 top
now i atleast see 2 maybe even 4

heres a picture of my fim, a week later, it worked extremely well just click on the pic to get a better view
the one top branch became two top branches

okay heres a shot of where i fimmed.

under my pinky finger is where i topped that branch, then i fimmed the new growth above my thumb youll see where it split into two colas. its weird looking for sure.
