6 nodes and they're mature. That was around 8" for me, then when it hit 4 feet I tied it over and the side branches came up. Tie it over and then it grows a but more and you tie that over.
The other thing you can do to LST. I'm doing that in my current grow and they are much shorter and bushier so far. i just took pics (in my sig below) of the lil one in flower, they are widening and getting bushier. You can also see the big one tied over which has 4 weeks to go.
Hope thats helpful
