hey so fimming off the top stem will give you up to 4 or what not main colas right?
now what if you fimmed not only the top stem but also all the internode growths too?
would this work??
heres a poorly made diagram (please excuse my MSpaint skills. im on my laptop))

Depends on the side growth so yes it is possible. But if you do not fim properly then 4 shoots will not happen. Took me a few tries to get right and finally I said fuck it and stuck with LST.

yes ofcourse, by fimming you mean bending branches right? or do u mean topping? i dont know if those slashes on your diagram are cuts or bends, i only seen topping of main stem, i dont think the side branches have the strength to either recover or hold up 2 coles, you can top the main stem and supercrop the side branches/bending to make bushier and get more light down there

if you could get the side growth into direct light and have adequate support for four colas it will work, but thats some hard shit you will have to stake all branches

I can confirm that when done properly, this will work on any of the growth tips, not just the top.

Click to expand...

yes but the question that arises from that is the side growth strong enough to support 4 colas?

the only way it would work is if it had direct light

There are not very many high yielding strains that can support the bud weight when any training is done. If you're using the right lighting for the size of the plant, the 4 buds should yield as much or more than the 1 that it would have been.
