You look fine to me. You really wont know until it starts growing new branches. These damn things are tough, as long as its getting fed and watered, I wouldnt worry about it.

Uhhh. Hehe. Ok, the topping looks ok. What will happen now is 2 branches will grow there. I don't really see Any lst going on but it appears you supercropped your fan leaves which I don't think will do any good. Supercropping, lst'ing is when you pinch the "stem"(not leaf but actual branch),just enough so you feel lIke a pop and gently bend it over. Lst is bending branches down, around, all different ways to try to achieve an even canopy.
 
grumpy ur right sorry i confused lsting with supercropping lol and jus figured out why it wasnt a good idea the way the fan leaves are bent over means the other branches sprouting wont get as much light uh oh bad ideas always pop up when im high lol the topping on the other hand had turned brown where i snipped it is that something to worry about?

Nahh. It's plant scaring. The plants hormones (juice lol) rush to te topped area to heal it and it happens. Looks like a brown glossy resin ball right? As long as you used a clean tool or hands, it should heal nicely. If your concerned about it, monitor te brown. If it appears to spread, them it may be cause for concern. As it looks in the pic, it's healing fine.

I thought you were bending your leaves to get closer to your lights or its in a small cabinet. LOL Didnt think I saw any lst. The snip will brown as its healing and sealing off. Its normal.

BTW, if height is a concern, remember depending on if it's sativa or indica, the plant can double or triple in size after you switch to flowering cycle. Keep that in mind at all times.
 
ahh right kl kl yeh its like a resin only at the cut point tho no where else. height isnt a concern just wanted to make some more budding sites
