How's she doing? (yellow color is just caused by my yellow leds, no yellowing on the plant)

Looks good. I see some stretching, so you might want to think about moving your lights closer. Otherwise you can end up with lanky plants, and over spaced node sites

No, kinda scared of Fiming or infecting the plant

I understand. I promise, mid grow, that you will have already decided to do it next grow. It kind of goes hand in hand with indoor growing. Plenty of info out there. Know this, these plants are very resilient...as long as you love 'em

So if I do a little homework would you reccomend just taking the initiative and topping it off? I heard FIMing can also work, what would you do? I'm eventually gonna move these guys outside but this is my first successful grow and naturally I'm worried I'm going to fuck it up lmaoI understand.

Wait until you have 6 sets of nodes (pairs of branches off the main stalk). Snip between the 4th and 5th sets of nodes. Don't worry, she'll be just fine. Then, trim off the lowest two nodes (1 and 2). At this point you'll have four main branches. You can also top those as well, which will give you eight main branches. You'll want to wait until she recovers and starts growing again before you top the second time. This is a very common technique when growing inside.So if I do a little homework would you reccomend just taking the initiative and topping it off? I heard FIMing can also work, what would you do?

And this is my thread on Bonsai Mum's (small mother plants). I posted lots of pics and info on topping...
Bonsai Mums Help Needed
This is my first time growing plants to mum up. I've been following the old-timer's guide, but the pics are confusing me a little. In the three pics that show the initial topping, the plant has around 9 shoots, and looks to be in a 4" pot. But in the pic that follows, the left-most plant...

I wanted to follow up with you so you can see me top a plant. You may cringe a bit, but trust me, they can take it. It'll take a couple days to recover and start growing again, but then I'll have four top colas growing, instead of one.
I'm topping all four of my White Widows, but the one I'll be showing pics of is the lower-right
It's hard to show the number of nodes (pairs of branches), because White Widow grows really squat, with huge fans. She's starting to produce the 7th pair.
Again, it's hard to tell what nodes I was working with, but I made my cut above the fourth pair of nodes, and I trimmed away the little stuff below the third node. If you look at where I cut, you'll notice that I left a nub, instead of trying to cut as low as possible. This retains some structure for the top nodes.
And this is what I cut off
You can cut clones from the trimmed tops
I'll post some pics in a few days of what it looks like once it starts going again.
