Hello.👋
I would say to try doing a small bit of lst...even if it is your first grow. It's never to early to start practicing things that'll make your growing life easier. Even if you don't get it perfectly right, you'll still get a feel for how the plants bend, their breaking points, what lst patterns work best etc.
I think a lot of people get a good amount of info tips and tricks from the growweedeasy.com site and that's definitely a good one for showing positives and negatives. Or the royalqueenseeds blog has many practical articles, including a low stress training one.
The one main tip i can give is start slow and be gentle, you don't want to snap any branches from trying to tie them down too hard or to late in the plants life when it's branches get stiff and woody.
Sometimes the simplest 1st lst can be just one tie of the main stem over, it'll at least flatten your canopy some, and encourage the side branches to reach upwards and get better light and be more like main colas, versus the pine tree shape from zero training. If you wanted some idea of the natural growth pattern of the plant, you can always opt for not doing anything...either way it will be a good learning experience.
Happy growing. ✌️
