Did this become a FIM properly done?

Not sure the proper terminology for the method other than topping. I am only curious because I have 3 shoots coming out of one of my plants. I have several of the same strain its not doing that just the one.

P.s dont mind the mag deficiency on bottom of plant we made little too light of a soil mix for them in dixie cups at 25 percent theyre now on 75 and happier than ever. (Some actually got slight nitrogen claw from it also).

Ok so when topping/FIMing i would follow this guide:

http://www.growweedeasy.com/topping-fiming

But without seeing what those stems are producing? like another node? or a Sun Leaf?

I can't quite tell, but i think you did it.
Sorry there is normal growth nothing crazy I didnt even notice it had three till yesterday 1 ak didnt even split when topped just formed a thicker main branch. Yea I knew the acronym I figured was the term because it happens so often lol. Not worried just trying to get a better understanding so maybe I can replicate it next time

dude, dont sweat it. FIM means "Fuck I Missed.
pay real close attention instead to environmental controls, light quality, nutrients

happy growing!
Chemplegm its reaching well into triple diguts next week for me my ac is awful will probably be solid 90 in there for next few days. Would it be wirth it ti move them into the house. I know they will be light deorived but at least they wint be cooking.. Not sure what to do their final destination is outdoors so maybe I can use this as chance see who will make the cut? Another fear is i onow im close to watering day and I dont like to open and close the door all day let out the nice cool air from night.

I dunno what you got going on there but I'd install an air conditioner for best results.
choose between poor light or high heat? that's on you man, It a big deal here I cant
risk counting on what the out door weather is doing so I spent the cash on controls

We have an ac its just not big enough have 2 lights in there and its 100 outside currently. Reached up into 90 at the end of the day.... We just decided to turn off one light for a few hours then turn it on towards end of the day. Wanting to purchase a 2400 btu mini split but trying to figure out the whole needing to get it charged thing. The quotes are usually the same as the mini split itself I just cant see myself spending that much money again on something, plus they will only be in there for like 5 more days(the hottest days) until they go outside. Then we will have to start our clone run so hoping we can figure out a solution as they will probably be indoors for 2 weeks to a month to get rooted enough for outside.:bigjoint:

lots of fresh air is needed, they really dont care about that 90f temp as long as they have enough resources to use, like water and c02 during their elevated metabolism/high heat periods. fresh air fits the bill for the c02 if you can swing it

What if i just let the door open a bit? it will be in the shade but then it would put added stress on the ac...we had an intake thats under the shed so its a little cooler but that even brings the temps up in there. I have 2 5 gallon buckets of fish fertilizer fermenting i know its probably not alot of c02 and its probably at the end of its process its been a month in 2 days. Im kinda upset I wanted to keep hardening them off before bringing them otuside but the temps are super high everytime i go in it draws more hot air into the room...so ive been avoiding going in during the day atm. We are still going to put the plants under a 90 shade cloth for a week before we let them sit out in it fully. Im just trying to baby them into the great outdoors. Purchased 4 clones set 2 outside a week ago in the shade and sun back forth and havent brought back in. Had 2 of them sit inside just recently 3 days been doing an hour or so a day in sun. Anyways yesterday the first heat wave hit and you could definitely tell the 2 that havent been hardened yet, 2 fingers on seperate leafs just wilted rest of the leaf looked healthy, not sure if thats a common thing or u had an explanation for that as well.

Outdoors they should be fine at 90 but not to sure above that, it never gets quite that hot here thank god lol. I also don't plant in direct sun and their in the shade mid afternoon. They'll need lots of water though, last year I was dumping 5 gallons every 4-5 days per plant. I'm at 80 outside and I'm struggling inside with air temps going crazy.
