Did i fool my plant?

Main stem - fimmed at 2weeks (recovered), lsted, then topped at ~28 days. Somehow it looks like its not my main stem anymore... random branch is climbing like crazy... its also thick... And my "used to be main stem" looks like its a branch... is this possible?

No you did not fool it you cut it's top off.... it knows whats up. Its responding exactly the way that should be expected for topping. The plant no longer has a top so its sending aux branches up to become the new top.

Thanks, so that 1 highest branch is the new top ? its like all of the branches are higher than original top stem :roll:

Once one "tops" a plant, it will stunt its growth for a short period. Then new growth will start, and the bst way to describe it to you is it will look like the shape of a Y. So where you had 1 top growing you will now have 2. You can do this/top those 2 tops after they grow for awhile, it will do the same thing, except you will branch off 4 times from the previous 2 tops & so on & on.. it will also nake your plant/plants bushy as shit!

There's also another technique you can do on your plants to make bigger buds, & make your plant/
plants go nuts, its called supercroping, here is a link for you to read up on it, incase you hadn't never herd of the technique before. http://bigbudsmag.com/grow/how/article/grow-stronger-stems-your-marijuana-plants-super-cropping-july-2011

I hope this helped. Take care bro, & happy growing. Later.

ok so you fimmed which should have given you a couple different tops usually four. then you LST'd which means your lower nodes should create even more tops. Then you topped something? so at this point you should really have several heads..... I think that a pic is necessary to better understand what you mean

If you have multiple branches at an even canopy they will all look the same near the top (besides the bottom of the plant) because they're all receiving equal amounts of light and energy
