Did I do the FIM wrong?

It's been five days since fimming, but I can't see if there are any new branches there or if I've pruned too little

The sprout I clipped off was too small, which is why the leaves are so sparsely trimmed. The growth stopped for a while, but it's back to normal now

Can't tell what your snip is like from the pics. Here's a diagram to help you make sure if it was done right and make it easier to do the next one right. I've always just pinched them off with my thumbnail and they come out fine almost every time.

Could use some more time to know for sure whether it worked or not too so don't give up yet.
