Patience.... FIM does mean:
Fuck I Missed....
So, can you miss on something that is called "Fuck I Missed" {FIM} ?
No, if you missed the exact mark posted by Danny... then it wouldn't be called a FIM....
It would be called a "FIDI" as in "Fuck I Did It"
So missing a FIM is OK....
Getting a FIM wrong? That's supposed to happen...
So, understand?

perfect!thank you!so i gues my fim worked and i should have 8 new tops!
And you understand, that these 8 new tops, will give you your exact same total yield in BUD, that your 'non fimmed' plant had prior to being FIMed?
It just moves the bud to a better location, more eye appealing...
Good Luck...

See Danny's pix for how-to info. The reasons for FIMing and topping are twofold - first to manage height (keep the plant shorter) and secondly to grow more than one top cola. Done right a FIM will produce 4 colas where there was one. Topping will usually result in 2 main colas. You can judge your success by counting the number of colas that result. Good luck, BigSteve.
 
Hi I know this thread is dead but I wanted to know if I fimmed this plant correctly, how many colas does it look like it will grow? Or is it just growing normal leaves
