FIM pruning technique

What is the FIM pruning technique?
什麼是FIM修剪技術##CONTINUE##

To increase yeilds and maximize space, many farmers "top" their plants-snip off the top bud. Tradionally, topping your plant causes two shoots to grow back in place on the one pruned off, thus increasing the number of top/main buds.
為了要增加收成量和最大化利用空間, 許多自耕農會修剪頂端的花
傳統上, 修剪頂端會造成在原來的地方生出兩個分枝造成雙頂端的主花

Well thanks to a loyal reader, we've topped that. This tip came to me by snail mail from South Carolina, With a diagram and a name for this technique. The letter says, "I discovered by accident a pruning technique that all growers should know about". As I read his letter, I remembered that the same thing had happened to me many times and I never took notice. I too occasionally got up to five or six new shoots growing from what I thought was a sloppy topping attempt.
一位忠實的讀者來信告知這個技術並且替它取名
信上說"我意外發現一個所有自耕農都應該知道的修剪技術"
當我讀到這裡我記起來同樣的情形也發生在我身上好幾次但我從沒特別注意
我也偶爾因為粗心的嚐試修剪而從修剪的地方長出5~6個新枝

Diagram A shows the tradional method of topping: cutting the whole node off cleanly, to induce the stalk to split into two. But diagram B indicates to make the cut below the center of the node, leaving about 10% intact. This is the key, because the vegetation left behind has cells that are rapidly dividing in many different directions. This can lead to as many as EIGHT tops from a single pruning.
傳統方法是把整個node乾乾淨淨地剪掉以誘使莖一分為二
新的方法是剪node的中間往下一點留下10%不去動它
這是關鍵
因為留下來的部分保有可以快速分裂成許多不同方向的細胞
單單一處修剪最多可以分裂成8個新的分枝
