Don't Know Where To Top Plant?

What's your goal here? Do you need to keep the height restricted? Are you after more tops?

I want more tops

Ok, if that's all you want without sacrificing height, then you can simply start FIMMING or pinching the very tops of the growth. That will give you more tops.

Hmm... let me see if we have a FIM thread. Ayup! In the Grow FAQs.

Where do fimm though at the red blue or yellow circle

FIMMING is at the growth tips, not where it's already grown from. It'll still work though. From what I can make out those are two spots on the same main stalk, right? If so, just pick where you want the plant to start branching out from. In other words it doesn't matter red or blue with regards to topping. If you wish to FIM, then it's got to be the very top growing tip, the meristem. Make sense?

Yes so if I would want to fim it would be at the red line right but if I wanted top I can do it anywhere basically?

FIMming means that you're hitting the meristem only, and no further down. Topping means that you're hitting where it's already grown, where you've circled. And yes, you can top it just about anywhere, basically, but I do like to top where there's already some apical (sideways/branching) growth occurring, because it helps push the plant to grow out in that direction. FIMming is basically splitting that meristem in such a manner that it naturally creates more growing tops right at that point.

As for topping would cut very top shoot down where you see 2 new shoots forming ,, but what i would do personally is get a coat hanger open it up cut it in half bend both sides 180 degrees so you got like a 1 - 2 " bends then carefully attach it to top of plant and bend plant over every day a little more once new shoots start to form under all the shoots super crop all tops keep doing this and in know time you will have lots of tops growing

This is how i do it can not get any simpler then this here are some pics with plants topped and all new shoots cropped bending plants outwards hope this helps starts at a early age topped plant as 2 new shoots form under i will crop them eventually looking like 3rd pic and keep training plant until it becomes a massive bush :)

or like this again start early training getting as many tops as i can plant it in final resting spot do couple more croppings with in next 2 months and wa la a 10 - 11 foot tall tree and same round :)
