I'm a newbie, but I got plenty experience outdoors tho, there's really nothing to it imo, I like FIM also

This is 7 days later

With this prune I ended up with a small bush monster by day 4 of the prune. Then I trimmed it some more and ended up with like nine tops. I'm going to leave it alone and let the others catch up.

It does look like you didn't trim enough off to rop, but looks good

Here's mine I did.
First two is when I cut
Last two are only four days later.
You top at the third node I did 4. Just want to know reason, I thought three would be to small.

topping / training seems to be all personal preferences in terms of how you want to shape your plant to your available space

do you plan to LST her at all? I find tying the top down to the side of the pot 2 days after gives me the best results for shaping

I do a combination of super-cropping and FIM to get them in the shape I want before flowering and produce several tops. Super-cropping early on to shape them and generate new shoots. FIM all tops ~2 weeks before flipping. The one closest to the camera is 7 days into 12/12 and still stretching, probably another 4"-6" all around before it settles into flowering, vegged for 8 weeks, 10gal fabric pot.

Yeah I did tie it down it's tied right now I'm going to leave it tied until it bends back like 30%
