Topping Versus FIM Cuts - justicebzwiegandjlz832 - 09-21-2026
Topping a sativa produces two dominant tops, while a FIM cut done slightly higher can give four or more but with less predictable results. On lines that stretch hard, multiple tops at similar height are what keep the canopy even, so I lean toward two rounds of topping during veg. There is a clear comparison of both methods with photos on https://hazesativaseeds.com, including how long each one sets the plant back. Recovery is fast on healthy sativa genetics, usually under a week.
