Yeah that's part of why I don't do a mainline any more. Instead I use the quadlining technique, just topping once. My next ones I left between 4-6 nodes to grow out. I may top them once more since they have about 5 weeks of veg left but I'm not sure yet. Going for about 10 weeks of veg time and then the flip. Still trying to figure out how many will fill my 8x8 too. My guess is around 24 ladies total but it also depends on how wide the manifolds get. Your girls look good though, nice and plump. I think you'll get your 220g. I got 103g off my single hydro plant with a lot of popcorn buds and chopping a week or 2 early. All my recent grows have been quadlined and if done right you can still get the 8 colas without wasting the extra time from topping more than once. It's a little harder to do with clones because of the uneven nodes, but it's still possible. Hell, some of my clones came out better than my quadlined girls with very little done other than topping. Still trying to see what works best for me but I think I'm almost there. I also started off with the mainlining technique, never grown one out naturally so I don't know what a normal plant would yield for me. I don't know if I will be trying a normal grow any time soon, probably only if I do an outdoor grow next summer. Can't wait to see your results.
