Fimming
Cannabis fimming is a cultivation technique that involves removing the topmost section of a cannabis plant in order to stimulate growth in the lower branches. This is typically done when the plant is young in order to encourage lateral growth. By doing so, you will produce a cannabis plant with more bud sites and a higher yield.
