Means you didn't fim far enough down and just took a chunk out of the leaves on the node you attempted to fim, it seems.
I'd personally just top it. Easier that way.

I would just cut it back a little further at the stem and just top it.

Top and then FIM auto?I topped this ILGM skunk auto on Day 12 and she’s tolerated it well. Today is Day 14. I want to go all-in and now Fim the new growth. risky, but I’m going for it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Fimming gone wrong?Did my Fimming attempt go wrong?
I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results?
Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.Techniques. FIMing

Hola amigos, quiero probar a hacer corte apical y una poda de bajos. La idea es hacer el corte apical 7 días antes de pasar a floración y la poda de bajos después de 3 días de haber pasado a floración. Es justo hacerlo así o debo usar otra táctica? Gracias anticipadamente.Week 3
