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.

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

First time FIM, does it look normal a few days later?Hi Growmies,
Just wondering if this FIM attempt is looking any good a few days on? It's just that I am struggling to visualise how it will end up? To me, she looks like she is carrying on growing in the "Christmas tree" format. Did I miss a FIM lmao? Is that possible? lol.. TY5y ago

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?1y ago

Regarding Fimming?First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?Techniques. LST
