Topping/Flowering

Ok so i know you veg for however big you want your plant to be by the end of flowering. I know the plant will double, possibly triple by the end of flowering. My question is, do you go by the bottom of the main stem to the top of the plant to get the height? Or do you go by the base of the new colas to the top of the rest of the plant? I topped early the plant has 4 colas and its only 5" tall from dirt to top of new colas. I topped before it even had the first set of 3 leaves. Wonder how this one will turn out.

Leave her alone for now. Get rid of the pot it's in soon. You don't want those roots getting any sun. Add some perlite to your mix when you transplant.
 
Ok you topped exatly how i top, i like this it lets me mainline y plant, my plants are also in veg, heres some pictures to show you what to expect.

these were all topped the same as your's i even got a shot of the stem to show you, but i also LST my plants to make them bush out more, if you leave your's untrained they will simply grow normal with 2 main colas with side branching, i LST my plants to make them bush out more and give me an even canopy with more tops that stretch up to the same height as the 2 main tops i made.

crap grammar, this is a weed forum just read slowley and you will understand my typing one way or another.

Also i would advise, getting some nice weed freindly soil, with some perlite, and some fluffyness to it, as weed likes a nice fluffy soil sor some good root growth, dont go cheap, go out and get some standard thick black pots, they dont cost too much, that and some good soil like Playgron, biobizz, Foxfarms happyfrog, will do wonders for you'r plant, and in return it will thank you in many oz's

if you Lst the plants, the side branching will grow up and you will end up with bush's, if you dont you should expect a normal plant with 2 mains like i said before with short side branching just like a normal untopped plant.
 
I just read more of your post. Don't even think about flowering now. Not all strains double or triple their size in flower. I run kush only strains and average 4-8 in growth during the stretch period. If you flower that now you may get a qtr oz. Put it in a good medium let it veg for a month and you'll have something worth bragging about. Good luck.

Yea i gotta make sure its healthy and all first but how would i decide? Dirt to top height or new colas to top? =/ thanks for the advice
 
You need some growth on that plant first. Don't even worry about height right now. You have no colas on that plant. Let it grow a bit then worry about budding it unless a qtr zip is a score for you.
