Fimming is a method similar to topping. We basically interrupt the natural flow of growth hormones. When we "top", the hormones (called auxins) are distributed into the lower portions of the plants growth tips forcing a more bushy structure.
To "fim", you neatly slice only the very top growth of your growing tip. This creates a cluster of growth tips to form, which then essentially become a cluster of branches. In my experience, "Fimming" typically does not develop an incredibly organized looking plant but allows for multiple tops.
This might help visually........
