I use a net and I did try to distribute the branches around but I did not foresee them growing this much since they were supposed to be short lived (63 days seed to harvest, lol). Thats why I did not top. But I would not be surprised if you are correct about topping and it not having much difference in yield. 

I have been trying to guesstimate how much the total dry weight will end up being but I am at a loss really, I would not be surprised if it end up being around 200g, maybe even more. 

I did not anticipate any of this. I estimated a quick half assed grow and ending up with perhaps 50g in total.
