Looks like it, but fimming is difficult to tell if you did it right until you get either a few tops, two tops (you just topped it) or no tops (you did it wrong). Looks fine tho

No problem. depending on when you did that and how much it has already grown since then, you might want to clip the top a little more if you didnt take off the very tip. It's hard to tell with the pictures but generally the leaves end up looking like that (in half)

I'm having a really difficult time seeing what happened. Can someone come in with a big red marker and help direct my eyes to what I'm supposed to see. When I look at your before pictures what I'm seeing is a main stem which you clipped and two offshoot branches. When I look at your after picture I see a main stem which seems to have split into two branches and two slightly larger than before offshoots.
I thought you were supposed to lose the main stem and get 4 new branches?

Usually it's cut the main get 2, cut those 2 turns into 4 so on, so on. It looks like you just cut the top leaves in half? I might be wrong cant really tell from your picture, more like a FICM (fuck I completely missed). I could be wrong though. You can top it all day long just give it time to recover a little to grow out before you flower, and obviously don't top during flower.

Can confirm, looks like the top leaves were cut but nothing else, but pictures can be deceiving. Maybe op has a better angle?
Lol

I'm thinking the same thing you guys are. I'm guessing your supposed to cut all the leaves off down to the very tips of the stem. I had left a little bit of leaf but barely any. Guess it wasn't enough. It's been 8 days since I cut it. Do you guys think it will be okay to cut again tonight? (Heard it was less stress cutting at night)

Did you do it? I don't want to tell you to cut your plant until I know more about what i'm doing.
Can i see more pictures of the plant? Hows she doing? You have a camera with some really nice resolution. I would like to see you use it more.
