I'm a newbie, but I got plenty experience outdoors tho, there's really nothing to it imo, I like FIM also
 
It does look like you didn't trim enough off to rop, but looks good

Here's mine I did.
First two is when I cut
Last two are only four days later.

This is 7 days later

With this prune I ended up with a small bush monster by day 4 of the prune. Then I trimmed it some more and ended up with like nine tops. I'm going to leave it alone and let the others catch up.

First: Day 28 day of fim. Last: Day 45.

Yes, there is 3 main tops instead of 2. My white Widow decided to produce 3 fan leaves per node thus leaving me with 3 shoots per node as well! Weird that all branches are normal with 2 per node other than the main stem.

You top at the third node I did 4. Just want to know reason, I thought three would be to small.

topping / training seems to be all personal preferences in terms of how you want to shape your plant to your available space

do you plan to LST her at all? I find tying the top down to the side of the pot 2 days after gives me the best results for shaping

I do a combination of super-cropping and FIM to get them in the shape I want before flowering and produce several tops. Super-cropping early on to shape them and generate new shoots. FIM all tops ~2 weeks before flipping. The one closest to the camera is 7 days into 12/12 and still stretching, probably another 4"-6" all around before it settles into flowering, vegged for 8 weeks, 10gal fabric pot.
