Hello! Your plant looks fine and it seems you did it alright, they do need to heal after being topped though as it is a bit traumatic for them. Usually adds an extra week to a month onto your grow cycle, depending on the strain, but it's worth it!

There really isn't much of a secret to "topping" or "FIMing" other than clipping the main stem that stimulates top-growth. Topping makes the plant produce multiple colas because it focuses its energy on multiple "hidden" growth tips instead of just one.

Hopefully this helps with any concerns you have about your plants.

Perfect. .. you have completely halted the vertical growth of that stem that you topped.
Now, what is left, will become two new tops that think they are the main top.

Nothing will grow out of the stem that you cut.
