It looks like your plants were just topped. Fimming(if done correctly) sprouts 3 or more tops.

Bending is a really low stress way to keep your plants short. Its also a great way to create more tops without actually cutting anything off your plant. Topping and Fimming stresses the plant tremendously and it can take weeks for growth to pick back up again.
No not weeks as the fim will slow just a few days as the rest of the plant grows and iv fimed enough to know this. Topping maybe longer as you are taking the top off and the side branching needs to start, but in the end you will have multiple tops which is more yield and keeps them not as tall.

Bending works too, but if your starting a plant less then a foot you have the time for any stress your plant would go through. I just transplanted mine in its hole sideways so in stead of putting it up right then tying it, i just put the plant in sideways which basically is the same. I am hoping for lots of tops with this method.

I hope you will come along with me as I track their progress. I am SO STOKED to be growing legally!!! Especially after the last time I grew the good herb: in October of 1998, I was charged with a fourth degree felony for having a bush in my garden. Now, with a very minimum of planning, I find myself with a card IDing me as a mmj patient, and a permit to grow. :D I've been Rating: 5
