@Stephen thanks for link I’ll read it now 
.
I’ll be honest I really wasn’t super clear on what the difference was between topping and fimming so far 
.

You could potentially have 4 new tops from Fim’ing instead of two from topping. Takes a little longer for the plant to recover. Some folks actually do this on purpose 
. I did on my current manifold grow.
This plant (a few weeks ahead of the others) is doing quite well a soon to be cropped and topped once more.
Check out this Topping and Fim’ing for those whom prefer learning by watching
@Osage I know you’ll see this pic and suggest I need to raise my RH 
. No worries, my rH always goes down from the 70’s when I open the tent and cool air rushes in and the humidity escapes into the room.
also have left the humidifier on constant so when lights are off it hits 90’s, not ideal and will be fixed for the next grow. Just requires me to reroute some cabling and rather than fix now, I’ll wait until this grow completes to do so

Bela’s continuing to flesh herself out and top Leafs are about midway up the first fan now.
definitely getting lots of branches forming.
Ordered a wire shelf that Im hoping to use for bottom SCROG net , should be here in a few days.

Looks like u could lollipop a bit, couple of fan leaves not getting light under there. And if u got the drying lines from grobo they work well to train like a scrog

I ended up using some craft wiring for tieing up garland to try and open up the middle abit so the branch i FIM’d gets more light and get catch up in growth. as well as spreading the rest of the branches out a more

home for lunch and wire shelf came in.
Heres pic, it fits inside the grobo perfectly , i’m hoping cutting out every other small wires will leave a 5x5 grid thats large enough for use.
Heres link to item on amazon…not sure if i’ll be able to repurpose the sides and back.

I would cut all the lower fan leaves off at this point, at least all the speckled ones.

k, I was wondering how much to trim and figured I’d start modest and see how she responds.
I’ll try and give her a bit more of a shave in the morning

trimmed off 4 of the lower large fan leafs still a few lower ones left to trim up.
cut out extra wires from shelf to make larger holes…I still need to file down the edges of the cuts to remove sharp edge…do you guys use plastic spray can to seal or is that not really needed?(mostly worried about corrosion of the wires)
gonna have to read more today on proper use of a scrog screen couple things aren’t super clear to me yet.

Ive never used the spray but it can’t hurt to prolong, I think most use it to keep the wires from scratching the grobo.
You did a great job with your scrog! 
I think you could have also used it without cutting bigger holes.
