Alternating Nodes Straight From Seed - Glueberry

This Glueberry O.G. had a rough start, growing at a very slow rate compared to everyone else. She seems to have finally found her happy place and is growing well now. At 3 weeks, she's about half the size of the others. I plan on manifolding / mainlining these girls, and started cutting them back today.

When I got to the GBOG, I found she had alternating nodes out of the gate, with a third, misplaced node after every set of alternating nodes. Nodes come from the stem like this... East, west, north, east, west, south and repeat. Not a single instance of there being opposing nodes. This foiled my plans for creating a manifold. Do i just work with what I have and keep an equal number of nodes on each side of her stem, as close to manifolding / mainlining as possible? Or will it not work properly since she is alternating? I can otherwise just top and train her like i used to do.

Suggestions?

Are the nodes close enough you could shape it to get 3 manifold style tops instead of just 2? I had a clone I did that with the other day because the nodes where just right.

Her nodes are currently at about 1/2" to 3/4" spacing. If I had more room in the tent, I would consider a three-way, but I don't want her to require too large a footprint. As it is, it's going to get crowded in the there!

It sounds maybe whorlled as in whorlled phylotaxy (cant spell that word due to lazyness and dyslexia).
