First ever grow! Testing out my setup.

07/02/2018: Very likely going to be topping tomorrow. I have 6 full nodes and a 7th coming in. Excited to start training her and experimenting with manifolding. 07/03/2018: Topped, stripped, and trained her this morning. She looks so sad now! It's wild that when you chop em up it still pulls water through where those branches were and it kinda just drips out for a bit. I wasn't expecting that having not grown anything prior to this experience. She wound up quite short after cutting her down to the 3rd node because the spacing was so tight. She was 5" before the topping and 1.5" after topping and training her down. 07/04/2018: Checked in the morning and she had perked right back up after being topped and tied down. 24 hours after the topping she has already started growing pretty quickly again. This little plant has gone above and beyond my expectations as far as rebounding after some trauma. I was expecting at least a full day of no growth but that wasn't her plan at all. 07/07/2018: Shes cruising right along with her growth. She's working on her 4th node currently which means her 2nd and final topping is right around the corner. After that She'll have 8 tops and 2-4 more weeks of veg before flipping to flower depending on how much she fills out. Trying to keep things as flat as possible currently to let her have the most verticle grow space she can have. 07/08/2018: Completed the final topping for the manifold shaping. I got rid of the 2nd set of nodes on each branch leaving nodes 1 and 3 resulting in 8 total tops. I have trained down the tops that I can so far and as she gets bigger will begin training down the tops of the 3rd nodes. Despite having a 6.5ft tall tent I'm still trying to keep her as short and flat as possible just to experiment and see how she comes out compared to a buddy who isn't training his as flat.
