i was following the SCROG tut from a website and went to top my plant and cut the one leaf off on right side.

Ya your plant should be fine. Did you top right above the node?

When you cut off fan leaves it stresses it out a little but shouldn't kill it. How many weeks old is your plant?

Howzit, 1 leaf isn't anything to worry about you'd be surprised just how much they can handle they're definitely extremely resilient I've had plants tht were

As long as you didnt cut off the new growth it should be ok meaning the place where new branches sprout from on the node.

You cut the leaf on the right side, no no you're supposed to cut the top two leaves.

I would take the other leave off, as the growth going to be uneven and make it difficult for you to do a 4 way lst

sorry not sure about the other too looks like you may have taken too much off,
you need to remove the leaf and see how they turn out
thinking about doing a 4 way lst my self, topped 6 girls the other day

Put down the scissors before you cut your finger off....fim with a pinch maybe the easiest thing for any stress training imo...new growth...80% down...pinch...holy shit now I have 4 colas instead of 2 with topping..
