Hello, I'm considering doing LST and topping at the same time. Is it okay for the ladies or is it too much stress at once?

It's fine, top the plant first and then bend her over for a nice even canopy, keep tying the tallest ones down

Should i do LST or not ? Or maybe LST one Plant, let one grow natural ?
this is my third ever grow, and i was wondering if its worthy letting a plant grow natural, So far my two first plants i have done LST on, will the yield be impacted a lot when its being grown natural ? What do you think, should i give letting it grow natural a chance or do LST ?

Best way to train?
Am I best to bend the main and train horizontally or is it better to pull the leaves down and let branches grow up that way?

Have I LST'd right?
I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right? I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

LST - How to Scrog help
Looking for advice on how to use a SCROG auto. Bought one to try LST but confused how it works. Looking at videos people just seem to squash on top during veg. Am I too late/early with it? Does it just grow into it or do I need to use the tie down method TOO? Doesnt look right :/

leaf !?... no real problem.. is it a stress due to excessive handling of fertilizers or the breaking of the field in stops and leaves for training?
good morning guys I noticed some burnt leaves I don't understand if it was a slight lowering of the level of the dwc ..because I noticed some slightly dry upper roots then I increased the level and after the roots improved ... I don't understand if that machine is due to stress o

!! OUTDOOR !! || LST on AUTOs
Never had a satisfying LST when growing Autos outdoor, my idea is that suboptimal conditions of outdoor enviroment lead to slowed veg (compared to indoor) and low stretch. Maybe letting them grow without training in the end leads to bigger yield. What's your idea/experience?
