Sorry if this is a dumbass question. But I was curious how to measure your height when using LST or Mainlining method. I am told plants can double or triple in size when flowering.

So here is my question. How do you measure the height?

For example, my plant may be 5 inches off the ground. But if it wasn't bent over from LST, it would be 12 inches. Would you expect the plant to grow 12 more inches during flowering stretch? Or 5 more inches?
