As per usual i wasnt watching what i was doing and i screwed up topping. Hard to do right? Not for me lol. I chopped it right down to the node, new growth and all. Anyone else screw up this way. Ive read some people missed one growth but i got em both. So the side branches will just grow to be the tops im assuming? Usually i just lst.

Patience...

I know it's tough to wait but it will probably be ok. Just let it grow

Im just curious to how it will grow? I know its ok but will the side brances just take pver the top or is there a chance new branches will emerge?

Shes a living creature wait and see... theres some rules of thumb i think on how it tends to work, but i dont have interest in that anymore, just wait n see what happens... shell be fine. Dont love her to death... let her do her thing, you just guide n help her along... most folks overcomplicate it... imho

After reviwing my pictures i thought i had cut off the new growth when it actuality the new growth is still there but just starting to come out. Only if you really zoom in can you see it

Breathe deep shell grow either way... we all were there, and some still do get overly focused on every single thing and treat em like tbey are mechanical devices, but if you arent going to be a large scale commercial grower just learn to relax and care for her intutively letting her tell you what to do not visa versa... first few times ya panic over it all then at some point u realize "weed" is not a slang term..

Fim is for fuck I missed lol we've all done it, the plant will adapt to the cut and some guys miss on purpose which is where the term fimming came from. Chill mon every little thing gonna be alright!

It will grow 2 branches above the cut. Don't worry. That is what topping is - remove node and all and end up with 2 stems instead of one.

Good luck, BigSteve.
