Ok I just started my first grow a few weeks ago, and I normally dont ask advice i will research shit otua of it to figure it out. But i just trying to fim about 2-3 weeks into my first grow. Now i did 3 out of 5 plants, but not sure if i did it right.... SO it says online to pull back the fan leaves and cut about 3/4 of the enw growth. Now this is where im confused. The new growth top has its own set of small fan leaves forming. Are they the ones i pull back or do they mean the 2 that are already formed right underneath the new growth? i will post pictures wen i get home from work so you can see what i mean. If i didn't do it right I would like to at least get the last 2 plants done right! Any advice or pics would be very helpful!

Thanks guys i think if them closeup pics were done corectly it is done by cutting 3/4th of the entire growth top. I was confused when they said pull the fan leaves back cause the growth does have 2 new fan leaves forming. but I guess it meant the two large already formed fan leaves underneath the growth. I researched it alot and I take very good care of my babies and just didnt wanna mess them up. Thanks so much for all the quick responses!

About 36 hours after FIM cut u can see new growth on this plant, others don't have this much yet so I am hopin they are all done right not just this plant.

Ok so The top pic is my grow room, the 5 big plants are bagseed, the little ones u can see on right are my seeds from Nirvana .I ordered them about the same day I planted the ones that are bigger. So 2nd and 3rd pic is shortly after FIM, and bottom pic is Today and its starting to get growth out of the cuts. Do you think it looks like it was done right and the new growth looks good? Also any tips about my setup would be great!​
