Hey Friend,
Just started reading today! After all five pages I must say I am impressed with your dedication and growth since post number one. You brought me back to my first grows and I too built many things myself before upgrading to today (10 years later).
You have received some awesome advice so far so I wont chime in too much on the past but for sure will be following along and giving my two cents where I can. I am a soil grower so possibly I can round that side of advice out for you, but also have done about three or four years of hydro growing as well.
For now however I can help you with the main lining theory. It looks like you got the initial topping correct. Should have been done at node three, but after node five or six is developed. But then it looks like you just let the plant grow, this defeats the purpose of the main line. The theory of the main line is to get all your colas to start at the exact same height and to remove most of the rest of the extra shoots on the plant. This way the plant evenly distributes energy to each branch instead of creating separate nutrient lines at separate heights. I included a link below that should help you with this next time. I highly advise to read the entire page as it is a very good tutorial on the process and users have also posted good questions on the bottom portion of the page. I also like that tutorial due to the fact it shows how to do it from clone, something other people will tell you is impossible due to offset growth patterns.
