Hi. It does look like a success but if its not then you will have fimmed it which will still give you roughly what you want.

GDP2 "Retopping"?
So... is it normal for the plants to "retop" themselves? I topped GDP2 like 3 days ago and now it looks as though what I cut off is growing back again. Should I top it again in the same spot?

When to top
Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?
