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

Need tips/help with very very bushy plant
Potted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G
Plant. Too short

Enough LST for an autoflower?
I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Topping LSD and Acapulco Gold
Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!

When to start LST?
Hi GD family. I have a question regarding LST on Auto. When will be a good time to start and at what week in vegetative stage? Any techniques far as creating multiple holes 🕳️ in 10. 2 gal plastic pots to tie them down once big enough to? Or Trellis Net will be ⏰ saving?

Too early to top?
Is it too early to top the plant below the top nodes? Trying to not get ahead of myself or be too hasty since this is my first grow. Would it be worth it at this point or would it be better to get some more growth in?

Should I top fast buds green crack auto flower? Its vertical growth is incredible. Just curious if I could top it now with the benefit of increase yield along with less vertical growth.
