Did I top my plant correctly?

Here's a couple pics, just did my first Top. Feedback appreciated, not totally sure if I did it right...

Really hoping to hear about this tonight... Will help me sleep better.

you should take off that lil top part,so its just the two node up top....other than that she will be ok,she will grow some funky looking leafs,if left like that.

Do you mean cut a bit lower so whats between the nodes I cut is gone and just the nub of each node is left, or completely cut the rest of the node I already cut off at the stalk?

that more of a fim style, your good.

I was advised to Top then Fim later

Ha, got one guy on both sides...

just cut off the red in this pic,and the plant will grow much better for you.

Yes i agree with genuity. cut at the red line. And when the tops get about 2 or 3 nodes high then fim. Then i would wait 2 weeks then flower

My gut tells me you've got a good idea what you're talking about... So cut her right under the nodes I "topped"

Thanks for making that pic for me too man, that's pretty awesome of you

he is right. cut at the red line, that is topping, and what you did at cutting 3/4 of the new growth was fimming

Can you fill me in what the outcome difference between the two is and why its been suggested to top then FIM later?

Quick question if you don't mind. How many nodes from the bottom did you top it from? Looking to do the same thing soon. Thanks

I just topped my 6th set of true nodes. From what I've read 5th-6th you can do your first top.

You want to wait till you get 5 nodes. Top above the 2nd one. If you're trying to get four mains that is.

very cool thank you very much.

Topping creates two new tops, fimming usually results in four tops. I don't bother with fimming, I just top and top, until I get the desired result (plenty of tops) There is a point where it becomes overkill, I believe. I gave mine a recovery period whether topping or supercropping, usually a few days, but when they are growing rapidly in veg they usually seem to recover and start new growth within a few hours

Thats fimming. Topping is the red line. Easy to fix with a snip.

how soon should I see results? I topped last night and nothing seems to be growing out yet...
