PRUNING
Plants that are regenerated, cloned and even grown from seed will need to be pruned at some point to encourage the weed plant to produce as much as possible and remain healthy. Pruning the lower limbs creates more air-flow under the White Widow plants in an indoor situation and creates cuttings for cloning. It also forces the weed plant’s effort to the top limbs that get the most light, maximizing yields.
Plants that are regenerated need to have minor growth clipped so that the main regenerated growth will get all the weed plant’s energy. This means that once the weed plant has started to regenerate lots of growth, the lower limbs that will be shaded or are not robust should go. The growth must be thinned on top branches such that only the most robust growth is allowed to remain.
Once nice aspect of regenerating weed plants is that some small buds left on the weed plant in anticipation of regeneration will not sprout new growth and may be collected for smoke. The White Widow plant may provide much smokable material if it is caught before all the old flowers dry up and die with the new vegatative growth occuring.
Try to trim a regenerated weed plant twice. Once as it is starting to regenerate, collect any bud that is not sprouting with new growth and smoke it. Then later, prune again to take lower clippings to clone and thin the upper growth so that larger buds will be produced.
If a regenerated weed plant is not pruned at all, the resulting weed plant is very stemmy, does not create large buds and the total yield will be significantly reduced.

you can get as much as 8 colas from fimming. and u usually get around 2 from topping

hold up u fimmed it 11 times? thats too much. that would be like atleast 22 colas. that is above the max yield even for blueberry. fimming too much will give u more smaller muds if done too many times. even blueberry acant have 25+ top colas

if u did that much fimming your plant will not be bi in just two weeks. fimming causes stress to the plant and it must grow at all of those nodes. u might have lots of smaller buds in the end. also stress can cause plants to go hermie, so having fimmed/topped it 11 times u have caused LOTS of stress. so there is a chance it will hermie on u
