Help making a topping decision

[Ruthy]

This is my first time growing and I have been reading the forums for a few months now.
I was looking for someone that had the same thing going on but didn't find one or just not searching the right term.
What I have is a bag seed from a OG Kush and when it sprouted instead of the 2 main branches there were 3 a defect from what I have read. I topped 2 of my plants a fimmed one. I just wasn't sure which method would be better or something different. I am probably making more out of this than need be but trying to grow as much meds as I can.

I have a 4x4 tent with a 300w LED in M3/Happy Frog 80/20 mix, plants are about 3 weeks old.
Thanks for any suggestions

Wow!! What a great defect!! Hopefully it ends up being female!

I'm not entirely sure what would happen if you topped or FIMmed, but I am very curious. Even if topped I wonder if bother mains would continue with the 3 node pattern. That would be a very dense plant

That's why I looked high and low to find a similar one and the results.
I just don't know if I would be better off just letting it go as is.
Would have been nice to have 2 like that to experiment with

I'd FIM before topping, just to see what would happen But really it would be cool to let it grow out as is to see what happens, up to you though and how much space you have to work with

The mad scientist in me wants you to go for the FIM!

Decided I am going to FIM but not sure which spot, I made two lines top and bottom.
The bottom one would include the leaves sprouting but I am not sure if I should just do the inner part.
I was using Light Addicts technique of spreading open the new growth so it is exposed to more light.
Suggestions?

Sorry about the poor quality, I can have a better one tomorrow if needed but I am out for the night.

I think you want to go above the shoulders of the leaves but under the top red line. I would say more like in the middle of the 2 lines. I just pinch with my thumb and finger. No real preciseness when I do it. It is called "fim" or "Fxck I missed"

I am definitely no expert so lets see what others say...

The bottom red line is too far down, the top one is close, I'd do it just under the top red line imo

Can't go wrong with that

Like others said, I'd cut them just a little bit lower than the first red line. I did that to my plants for the first time about 2 weeks ago and it worked in at least 2 out of 3 (by worked I mean they are growing at least 3 colas from the same spot).

If you wanted to top the plant you'd just have to make the cut a bit lower than the second red line IMO.

Who wants 2 main colas when you can get 4 though? FIM is the way to go (and it doesn't stress them as much either).

Also, consider making a clone out of that plant

Thanks everyone for confirming what I thought to be the best route.
I am new to growing and when I can't find an a answer on the forums or internet I think just better to ask.
Well here is a pic of it, I forgot my good camera again so this will have to do.
Guess will find out soon enough if I did it right.
