Mainline flower question

Greetings all! So everyone knows that plants can double or triple in height in the first few weeks of flower. My question is, if you are mainlining does the plant double(or triple) in height from the soil level, from the manifold, or neither? I'm mainlining a RQS northern lights fem, what how much would yall expect for the stretch? The pic is from day thirty-five

Thank you all, in advance!!!

what more do u want from the answer ?? it all depends on the grower u aint gunna throw a seed in and grow a pound off the bat bro

Yes, hard to say, but I don't think RQS NL will stretch that much.. All depends on your node spacing, lights, nutes etc.. In general, I might guess it doubles in total volume from flip to the end of flower.. Since it's mainline stretch really shouldn't be a problem.. If you have 8+ shoots they'll all stretch a bit, but it's not like it will outgrow your tent.

Looking at your pic the mainlining part looks good.. I'd let it veg a lot longer though. Let it grow to two feet then flip the lights.

Maybe this will help.. 3 gal pot

Generally everything will stretch and get bigger. In my experience the main stalk gets longer and especially fatter (really fat when mainlining) and expect the branches to do so as well. Sunny was right about the vegging thing. It's best to wait around 2 weeks after recovery from your last topping to flip. Or 5-6 nodes per top to insure some fatty colas. How long has it been since your last topping? Oh and what lights are you using?

It's been 9 days since the last cut. I'm using the advanced led ds100 and 4x23 watt cfls. Nice grow sunny!!
