I would say it looks like it will grow on with a bit of leaf damage.
The bulb on the mainline has not been damaged.

But would you say the fimming was done correctly or incorrectly?

Incorrect, slice is to take out the bulb .
But leaving the 2 nodes you can’t see.

On a larger scale , it doesn’t take out the nodes as there not developed.
You cut like this across your tip.
Look at the what’s left and leave 1/2 the bulb.
Preaty much were my first mark is. I just can’t see the bulb.

So I went of your first Pic and I think it might be cut to low now. Wish I would of waited. Tell me what you think of this cut.I would say it looks like it will grow on with a bit of leaf damage.

Fimming, just cut the very tips of the bloomy tip. Be sure you only actually just take off at the edge of the leaf where it meets the top of the 'bloombranches' right below the leaf but not the stock. Just like you're doing, maybe a milliseconds under what you've already shaved away. It'll nip the tips of all the growth in that bloomything making all the branches spark a single or double branching to grow

Well know here in a week or 2 how well you fimmed. If you didn't get it just right you're definitely almost on point. I use my thumbnail and just sorta scoop the bloomything. No worries. What you fuck up the 1st time makes you understand and gives you the knowledge and strength to carry on the proper way the next round.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my post. And your right, you gotta do it wrong to really know how to do it right. I'll post again once I know if it worked or not.
lots of growers find it's easier to pinch 'em off when fimming rather than cut.

Most of my banana jealousy are fimmed in multiple places

coco is for passive hydro and pebbles for active. though its not a carved in stone rule. i've used pebbles in passive, but coco is not a good active hydro media. drain to waste is another story.
It's easier to top, let the shoots grow for a week, then pinch them out again
