How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?
What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.
Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

Top and then FIM auto?
I topped this ILGM skunk auto on Day 12 and she’s tolerated it well. Today is Day 14. I want to go all-in and now Fim the new growth. risky, but I’m going for it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.
