  2. Looks like you didn't take enough off. If topped correctly, you wouldn't have that new leaf growth in between the cut fan leaves. You pull all that growth in the middle off, then what would have been the internodes, or side branches that come off in each node where the leaf stem meets the main stem, the internodes/side branches directly below the area of the top will grow up to become 2 main tops.
    Looks like you were going for a FIM. To do that you cut about 80% of the growth off, instead of all..but a little more than you seem to have done
     
  3. its not that sensitive I don't think man, most ppl jus pop it off with their fingers, yes he does have crinkled, cut leaves re growing, but he did the most important thing by cutting AT ALL and essentially telling the plant to start growing horizontal too.. it may be an ugly FIM job, and hell have some chewed leaves, he accomplished the goal for any sort of pruning to control height and/or yield more, due to increased branch production..
     
  4. I could be wrong, I'm far from a pro, just looks to me like he slightly missed and only got the leaves. I can't see any other shoots trying to become tops
     
  5. yes I noticed the plant jys does it thing any which way when u cut... remember that REALLY stresses an organism or plant.. imagine if someone did it to you! Lol jk. Mean to say I think its due to the plants auxons released when shes cut.. like our body try to flood endorphines to deal w pain..
