How did I do on my first FIM try?

[joejusttyped]

Hello, I'm looking to get input on my first attempt at a FIM job to make sure I did it right or not.

I tried to follow this diagram as closely as possible when I did this. The pictures are from days after I fimmed her.

Hopefully you can tell by the pictures I took:

The strain is purportedly an OG s1. It is around 25 days from seed(the pictures are a few days old now) in a blend of FFOF and FFLW. It's fed a capfull of Neptune's Fish&Seaweed every third watering. Will be changed to every watering when I flip to 12/12 and put in a 3gal pot.




If the pictures are unclear I will take/post more. Thanks for all the support IC!

I have just tried this technique in the last couple of weeks and it didn't work I was not brave enough I think. From what I can see you did the same as me? did you leave the base of the tip leaves just the stem and a bit more?

Nice graphic, thanks for posting it! Good luck with the grow and keep us posted on the fimms!

Yeah I think I made that mistake by not scaling it down further from when I was looking at that diagram, lol. I could clearly see the base parts of the leaves (they happened to be purple from being in my cold closet lol).

Here are some new pictures from that I just took: (best I could do with an iPod camera). Looks like she'll have a bunch of tops, though judging by the branching coming in.

On deck to be fimmed (ChemD x Herijuana):

@gloryoskie No problem, it was found somewhere here on IC and saved immediately



Thanks for the input

wow, how did you get it so small yet flowering already??

You fellas know that "FIM" stands for "Fuck, I missed!" right? You really can't mess it up, just make sure you leave a bit of vegetation at the point where you FIM it and use your nails to make a concave sort of shape when you clip it. Worst thing that can happen is you wait a few days for new growth and try again. Some strains don't take well to FIMing/topping, hell, some phenos of the same strain don't take well to topping while others do. You'll be just fine

Cause it's not flowering, it's been on a steady diet of 20/4 for two weeks now. (Before that were random veg light regimes under an Aerogarden)
I also sunk the plant some when I transplanted into a larger container.
