Fimming problem, didn't work... Still only one apical stem

[wdverdes]

Hello again, some updates
I fimmed the 2 older plants (lemon) followed by a 90 degree bend fixed by lines to avoid tall grow...
Also have 2 new 50w full spectrum and will add more blue and UV light for flowering some bluedream that I want with a lot of therpenes and anthocyanins...

My problem is, I fimmed the plants but they still growth one apical stem after that (3 weeks after fimming now), not even 2 like topping. Should I do it again and mainline it? Should I line them now?
I'm thinking in topping and doing a clone instead of trying to fim again...

Vipraspectre has good cheap lights, it's hard to see your plants under the blurple light to diagnose anything

Fimming is a PITA, it's never guaranteed it will work.

One better technique for multiple branches i would say is Monster Crop,
taking clones from plants that are already flowering and "revegin" them.
Or the good old topping/training works pretty well too.

It's not a guarantee to work and easy to mess up. Just top it

Genetics determine what the plant responds to best, I don't like one size fits all for growing answers. But that's just my opinion.

for sure.. plants tend to respond much faster and have less chance of poor results with super cropping from my experience

it can also produce far more tops than topping or fimming when done properly and at less stress than topping or fimming but to each their own
