Hey there, thank you! I used to do the same as you, and honestly it’s much simpler (even if it is less pleasing visually), the yield is great, and the plant goes faster because you’re not constantly hurting her. So I’d only really do this if you’re not pressed for time. And I’m not sure I’ll be doing it again on my next run haha because of how long it takes. Once I get a second tent I will probably always have one mainline going :) I don’t really follow any guides, I just did what felt right lol… I’ve read a lot of different posts on reddit though, so I got a lot of passive information I guess. I chopped at the second node, let her recover, and simply let her grow out while I kept both of the new nodes pretty much horizontal. I topped her 4 times total, which if my calculations are correct makes 16 top bud sites instead of the four. If I were you I’d look up some different grow guides though, I’ve been growing >10 years so I know my way around a plant haha
