Looks like a FIM. Two new sites will grow on the sides of the removed growth. Sometimes new growth will grow out of where you cut as well and you get 3 heads lol.
Good luck with your grow

Hey mate,
Looks like you've fim'd her, it's hard to see fully, but looks perfectly fine. Nothing to worry about! With filming you're going to get some odd looking growth at the fim point, Nothing to worry about. Shes looking great!
Hope this helps 🙂

It looks like a branch off the main trunk? Regardless, it will act like you topped it basically. You’ll have two new growths start soon from where the fan leaves connect to then branch.
Don’t worry about it. It will give you a chance to observe what happens when you top a branch instead of the main stem

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

ToppingHi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!3 years ago

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

FIM'd autoflower - recovering ok or should I top it fully?Never topped or FIMd before. I topped this Jon Snow Autoflower by Cali Weed about 4 days ago. I was a bit too early to top and actually FIM'd it by mistake - is this growing back ok or should I complete the topping? It's growing weird, but I guess that's the point.

11-15 cm, too small for fimming ?So I overfed them last week and now they are quite small (chlorosis). Most of them have 4 to 5 nodes. Should I wait for them to be taller (25-30cm ?) and greener for fimming ? I'm aiming to lollypop them later, I don't have much width. Thx !

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Fimming, done right?Hello guys, I just want to ask If I had done fimming of my plant right? She looks like she is growing normally(chrismas tree shape), I don´t think she is going to split the top into two more colas. Dont know if I have to try one more time, or to top her. Thanks
