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 .

second topping @third weekI would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
Thx

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

ToppingHi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!3 years ago

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference
