FIM'd autoflower - recovering ok or should I top it fully?

GreenHillZonestarted grow question 3 years ago

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.

I would just leave it. No sense stressing the plant more for what arguably is a successful FIM job. Yeah just keep trucking along friend 🤙

Defoliating autoflower What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.

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?
