I got to agree with the below answers.
Topping is more my style vs Fiming. Fiming to me is "a mistake" and I don't want 4 branches out of one node. harder to manage space wise.
If you want to keep it short, increase a lot more blue light into the tent in veg and use LST to help keep it down.
Could also mainline it to keep it really low. I find I am liking it more and more in my grow style.
What you plant on doing with this plant will be where you'll decide to take this.
If you do top it. wait a few more nodes before topping it again, gives you more room to stretch them branches away from each out.
Best Of Luck!

Here is what I have learned, with my plants at least. I FIMmed hoping to slow 2 girls down and they just rocketed right thru the FIM. In hindsight I should have topped first and then FIMmed meristem and branches to manage canopy height. I cut right at where you show on one and lower on the other just to experiment. I couldn't tell a change. I will be posting some new pics today start of wk. 6 veg. They might illustrate what FIMming did for me. Best of luck brother!

Solid advice below. I would say topping is the way to go. Fimming is going to cause a lot more branching in a small area. It's really cool looking but does tend to grow tight together not as good airflow. Good luck with your girl. Also from the plants I filmed in the past,it's took twice as long to start growing again.

Just do a normal topping, "Fimming" in my experience seems rather traumatic with recovery taking much, much longer than normal topping and is not always successful.
If you do insist on trying Fimming, you need to cut lower than the line you drew, almost parallel with the node.

@WeedDude No I would take the top off rather than fim it
when the new nodes grow you will end up with two main branches that can then be tied down and topped once more
and as it develops you keep using lst to create a flat even canopy to minimise the height .

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

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?
