I topped first and looked two days later and and so no growth so being impatient I cut half the plant off and think I killed them.. Here is pics of the two girls. I am going on vaca saterday and want to plant them before I leave.. Please tell me if I should throw them out or plant them... I will never not read a guide again before I do something like this... Thank you for the fast reply in advance... Here are the pics

When ever I've topped plants (versus FIM) they stall out for up to a week, then grow like hell again. Topping can cause a little stress, you need to give them time...it's not like the next day or 2 you're gonna see things change dramatically

yes justin evryone here is right...those plants were too small to top, topping a plant stresses out the hormones and it takes ATLEAST 3 or 4 days for it JUST to look any different than the day you topped it, it literally freezes the plant in my experience every time...lol, it looks like you topped off everything except 2 big fan leaves, haha...whats supposed to grow?...its ok buddy, live n learn ive made huge mistakes as well, like whatshisface said, just throw let them get light and see what they do....

On the bright side, you got yourself two hearty clones. :)

Take them inside and extend the veg cycle for a few months, then bring them back outside when they're ready.

Have you tried the FIM technique? It seems to me like they do not get stunted quite so bad when i just pinch the hell out of them.
