Need Advice to max yield of Blueberry

I'm waiting on 30 seeds. 10 each of 3 strains of Blueberry. Blueberry, Bluberry x Northern Lights, and Blueberry x AK-47. I need advice on how to maximize my yield. I hope to maximize the yield of the first crop and clone the tops and the best looking plants. I am only using a 3x3 Ebb and Flow system. I am also thinking I will add a couple of homemade 5 gal setups. I will be using a 1000W Switchable lamp. My goal is to get as much yield as possible and set myself up to have a perpetual harvest every couple of months.

I'm looking for people who've grown the Blueberry strains. Although my space is somewhat limited I know with the 1000W light I can get the most out of them. I had great results when I grew several years back. I'm just waiting on my beans and I'm headed to the shop for all my equipment.

My Question

Would you simply top these plant and go for two big main colas or would you FIM them and go for more tops? Also would you use the pinching supercropping technique? My plan is to top and/or FIM them ASAP in Veg and perhaps try the pinch to some of them.

I have plenty of vertical space so I can grow them as big as they'll get. Althought it's a 3x3 there is room around the edge of the setup. I expect out of 30 seeds I can get at least 12 - 16 ladies. My hope is to get around 2 - 3 oz per plant. What do you think?

FIM - Top or Supercrop or some combo of these techniques. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Well what lights are you using power wise, at least a 600w I hope. 12 plants in a 3x3 is pushing it if you ask me, unless you are running 1000w, or smaller plants.
Now If it were me with the info you give I would, and assuming you are using at least a 600w light system. I think I would grow out 9 plants at the most, and FIM top them. This will give you a large amount of thick tops, at least 4 per plant. So you would get at least 30 fat colas plus the smaller side nugs. Even with 9 plants in a 3x3 area during flowering you are gonna have a very tight crop.Each plant will only have 1 sq ft of growth side to side.

I'm using a 1000W switchable and I don't know yet how many females. I'll end up with. I will be starting with 30 seeds so if I have good luck with a lot of ladies I'll be willing to add a couple of stand alone 5 gallon hydro buckets too. I hope to have at least half of the seeds as females.
