I can't see the middle part. Fim will mutilate the leaves. If new growth splits in the center then it was successful.

Looks good to me, all your doing is slowing down the top growth to let the older stuff catch up and I think you did it fine.

FIMing feedback & Q: recovery week Nitrogen dose?
Any feedback and / or suggestions on improving my FIMing technique 🎋 are welcome! Beginning of week 3. For the next week (FIM recovery) should I keep adding Micro (2-0-0)? I’ve seen suggestions to ease off on Nitrogen for a week, but the bottles say always use all three parts

Does this look like a successful FIM?
Does this look like a successful FIM? I clipped it when it was pretty small and it's grown out over the past few days.

Topping now or another few days ?
Should I start topping now ? seems that GCP and Critical (and even the Random has , just looks thinner) has 3+ nodes , I guess on the Purple Queen has to grow a bit more , for pictures check latest ones from my diary. and after the topping to tie them down ?

Fimming again?
About the Frosty Friday, I'm still learning to HST / Topping / Fimming. I picked it up from a local Growshop last week and it was topped and all the branches were fimmed. I did some LST and it seems to recover pretty fast, should I keep fimming the branches? 4 Branches/ 14 Shoot

First grow question - About that FIM!
This was my first FIM - Can someone please confirm if this is a proper clean cut. Did I remove excess or should I take out more? The two photos are 6 hours apart
