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

Suitable growing techniques
What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

Early LST defoliation
Hi guys, is it ok to defoliate some leafs while doing LST at the early stage of growing to get more light for the buds? Clones, day 10 after transplanting.

When is the absolute latest I can top a plant? I'd say I'm a week to 2 weeks maximum away from flowering on an outdoor grow.
