They will stop growth for two weeks, but others will grow like your laterals.

didnt happen to me... my center stem just stopped growing and the next set of leaves got stems but nothing died
well yea i mean none of the healthly leaves died but this one was already yellow and i was going to pull it out anyways but i found it all crinkled up!
i checked on my plant right now and its recovered from the droopiness, but is this normal how i topped my plant? i followed this from the faq:

I say that it isnt because the plant is so small. But It isnt going to kill it. (I would hope not anyways).
I usually dont top or fim anything under 5 nodes tall. I usually wait till the plant starts its first side branch @ any node on its own. Then Ill top it to make it bushy.

The only part of the plant that should grow slower or show signs of less growth is the top node where you topped at...other than that your plants should start getting bushier below the node your topped. 
ok i know this is a stupid question but what do you guys mean my a node? a set of leaves? or what the arrow is pointing to on the pic above?
is fiming also a good way to keep plants short because im hiding it in a bush?
what happens if i trim the leaves and just cut off the tip, will it slow down the the plant growing tall because it is getting HUGE!

define huge
like 3 feet is big, 4, yeaaah, 5, shhhhhh, anything else is huge to me, have you tried tying the plant down with some garden wire, or some fishing line? you can get the plant to grow in S shaped bends, i have stems from my last grow indoors and i tied the plant to the sides, the main stalk has an L and a S shape to it! you can train the plant to be low profile, if you dont want it to grow tall, chop the head off it and make it into a bush instead of a tree! cons?: it stunts growth for a period of time :\ and some say its killing your payload bud (main cola)
