Mainlining advice needed with this plant

Hi Everyone, I need some advice regarding mainlining this plant. It's my first ever grow and a number of people on this side have been extremely helpful. However, I'm struggling with where to top the plant. I've read heaps here about it but I think I made a mistake when I first topped it. I topped it at about the fifth node and removed all the lower growth so I couldn't correct it. Anyway, this is what I've got so far. Do I need the two lower dark green leaves? At what stage would I need to top the four
new mains? Thanks.

You’re good to go for a while. You have 4 tops. I assume you’re going for 8? Just wait and repeat your process one more time.

I leave my lower leaves until the tops are pointing back up and have some growth going

Thanks Wattzzup I appreciate your advice. I've had more ups and downs than a brides nightie with this plant. I've already cut quite a lot from this plant but that's ok. I've learned a lot on this forum and a bit of trial and error will hold me in good stead for my next grow. I might come back here when It's grown a bit more for further advice if that's ok. Thanks again.

No problem come back as often as you like. I’m also mainlining. I’m doing 8 (7 on some because I’m clumsy) and next grow I’m shooting for 16 and see how that does compared to 8.

So once those 4 grow out more just top them again like you did before. Then I waited for 5 nodes (they started alternating and the plant started showing it’s sex) then I flipped to 12/12

I'm having enough trouble with 8. I think I'll stick to that for a while plus I have limited grow space, 80x80x180. Although I might see if I can fit two plants in next time. Depends on how big this one grows. This plant could probably be a bit smaller than it is because of stuff ups along the way.
