FIM technique, someway it all went wrong.

Hi.
I want to show my try using FIM technique on one of my plants. I read on a lot of pages on how to do it, and think I got the picture. I chopped of 90 % of the growing bud/leaf set. Left a small part for allowing it to recover and split up into multiple stems. Though, as you can see in the picture, this did not happen. Instead it was shocked, and halted growing for a few days, then grew up as one shot, as one main stem, not multiple with damaged leaves.

I can´t see what I did wrong, and how I should have made it to properly split.

yes, this picture was what I was going on. I did exactly like that, but the thing is, when u cut where indicated in the picture, it just halted for a few days, then slowly recovered, and that is what you see in the picture, the two side stems on top was where I did the cut. ANd now it´s just growing like normal, but the procedure just made hell of a chock to it.

If you look at the animated picture, where the cut should be done, this just made the plant stop growing, then it just slowly recovered.

I'm an amateur, but maybe this is normal to slow way down a little bit after doing this procedure?

happened to me on one plant too. it never fully recovered...the others just outgrew it so fast i had to get rid of it. the leaves look like they are growing mis-shaped? Mine sure did. Crazy amount of growth came out of it but it was just a bunch of deformed leaves. i'm thinkin it's the strain...some respond well to this and others dont
