Is this a successful topping?

Hope the picture is okay. I haven't topped cannabis in almost a decade so I just want to be sure I didn't rush things before the stem had time to extend.

You'll know it's successful when the wound heals up and the side branches start to dominate.

Gotcha, I think it's a success then! The two branches have grown bigger and seems like there are budsites/branches growing next to the topped area, so we're gucci? :weed:

Yeah! I think the rule of thumb is after 2-3 days she should heal up. It definitely looks successful!

Now I'm starting to doubt if it was. It seems like the stem is still growing.

I guess I fucked it up? :dunce: Or did I fim it by accident?

You say it like fimming is a bad thing lol

I'm just finishing a grow where i did cuts for first time. I did mine closer to the node.

its a strange angle but as i see you topped all the leafs soo no chance for a fim.

Fuck. You never know what causes hermies these days. He got me.

So, I should top it again in the near future I guess? I'll give it a week to recover, I also just transplanted it and put it outdoors a few days ago.
 
a fim(fuck i missed) is basicly just cutting the top half way soo the sun(lamp) can reach the side branches.they grow in the meantime the top recovers and continues growing.

i would do it a few more times 4max

I prefer topping its not always even but tends to be a bit more so than fimming at least ime suppose it's just preference in the end they both do a similiar job

Your better leaving a bit longer so the plant can seal itself easier vs cut tight all the way down it takes longer to heal
