I know you guys have covered mainlining from clone etc.... but I recently noticed something on spacedawg clone I took. But let me explain how I take my first clone from a seeded plant which obviously isnt too complicated but more about when. Anyhow these few pics show what I went after for this run which is really just want to get some keeper phenos and some buds for myself as quick as possible while still geting some kind of yield..... I do a topped plant, but using 2 nodes/4 branches to get 4 main cola's and some smaller branches that put out some ok buds, rather than what you guys are doing with your mainlining technique.

Anyhow.... when I run a plant from seed, I usually wait until I get 6-7-8 nodes (maybe more, I dont really count I just wait until I can get a decent sized clone and leave myself some branch sets below the 2 sets I need for taking clones later) and chop off the top 3 or 4 or so to use as my first clone, after the chop this leaves me my 2 upper sets of branches that I will work with (as you can see in the pics above this paragraph) and it will usually leave me 2 more sets of branches below that so once the plant grows a little after removing the top, I can grab anything decent below my needed 4 branches for however many more clones I can get out of it.
Now I know you guys dont do this because it may interfere with your techniqu.... On top of that, if you were to wait until you got that many nodes and chopped all the way down to the first node, you'd be taking a whole lot of plant possibly causing a herm??? Maybe? I dont know but the thing I wanted to share with you guys that I figured out the other day when looking at one of my "top clones" is that the top of the plant still has several sets of parallel nodes on it, so now I have a f2 clone of one of my space dawg clones which I can now chop the top again making it an F3, root that top/clone again that still has parallel nodes on her, root it, chop the top again, root it making it an f4....and so on until they no longer have parallel sets of nodes left on her.... There was way to many pages for me to sift through to see if you guys already tried this or there was some reason you hadnt been doing it but I am gonna use the one in the pic below as my first shot at mainlining nugbuckets style rather than the way I have been doing it.....
And this plant is looking a tad bit droopy because I watered her before taking these pics....

Hey nugs, this is one of my AOS' girls I was lucky enough to get out of 3 beans I popped (3f's out of 3 aos beans) but the other 2 are not pictured here, those 2 pics below are of the same plant but I was wondering if this looks like a BCS dom pheno? I know its kinda tough to say when they are in veg but the other 2 look much, much different than this one.... I have had JTR dom chernobyls which is what the other 2 kinda remind me of a little but again, I know its tough to tell anything before a couple weeks into 12/12 but I was just curious if this one looked anything like the ones you ran.....
