Ok guys I fimmed these plants a week ago today. I think I messed up cause that's weird growth. Let me know what to do from here guys, do I just top them now or let them go?

Pictures 1 and 2 are the same plant the rest are all different plants and strains.

I can't see your pictures well, I think a combo of mobile view plus your LED, but when you film you are actual cutting off the leaf tips of the next set of fan leaves in the process, so you next two set usually will be missing anywhere between a little and a lot of the leaflet tips as they grow out. Totally normal, sometimes it looks weird, if I could see better I'm sure I could tell your you plants are fine.
 
That's after a week of growth. The leaves are all messed up and it looks like they are trying to regenerate. I did it after much research and I watched many videos and did it exactly the way they showed me. Also it seems like they stretched in height a little after I fimmed them. Is that normal and I also need to tie them down cause they are gonna get to tall should I wait for the new top shoots to fully finish growing first before I tie them down or does it matter?

Thank you
 
Here are some clearer pictures of the possibly fucked up fimming. Also how do they look other than that over all

That looks perfect. Fimming doesn't really slow stretching compared to topping since your not damaging the main stem at all. Fimming, slows the top down while the next lower branches catch up, giving the appearance of four or more new tops. A lot of folks say ththe same thing the first week after they fim, because there's not a lot of data showing plants post fim. Another benefit of filming though is the fact that those tips of the fan leaves are missing which gave a ton more light to the lower parts of your plant. Looks good and great new pics.
