Which of the two do u prefer and why? If u you do both on the same plant explain?:icon_smile:
NorCalHal said:Simply put, Fimming does give you more tops as compared to topping, BUT the plant takes longer to recover from a fimmin as opposed to a topping. So, it would depend on the amount of time you want to Veg, at least that is my experience.
I don't know about a grower from SC discovering this, we were fimmin' before it was called fimmin back in the early 90's. Same gig, did a bad topping and saw we got more tops from it, but it took longer.
Yea that would be pretty cool to compare themThe Hemp Goddess said:LOL--I was doing LST way before it was called that. I had a greenhouse out back of my house in the early 80s. I tried to keep the cannabis surrounded by tomatoes to keep it hidden. But it kept poking up higher. I would just take the plants and bend them over and stake 'em down.
It has always seemed to me that fimming didn't take as long to recover as topping.....now I think I am going to have to do a side-by-side to see the difference.

DrFever said:It's usually genetic (a predisposition to hermie) or it can be grower error as in light during the dark period or any unusual prolonged stress (stress hermie) and sometimes it's a little of both (picky plant that takes perfect conditions not to hermie). You really never know for sure. and while supercropping in other terms is called HST - high stress training couldnt give you a definite answer on that
:holysheep: Wow, I wasn't aware that you could see into one of my heads. I have been thinking of starting a glossary for newbies of terms I hadn't encountered prior to seeing them here, ever since I asked what "wax" was.Newbietoo said:i wish someone would start a sticky or thread on all abbreviations and explanations for each. there are utubes for many or all of them and reference to a utube would be great also,(a pic. is worth a thousand words thing)..
these are probally the most common questions new growers have and many are afraid to ask. THANKS !! JMO
