Repot then perform lst. once the branches are bent you dont want to disturb them. Also a bigger pot means bigger roots enhancing your overall yeild.

I agree with rasta.. Your biggest downfall for the output per plant is your ladies ability to gain root mass.. What happens up top happens down below, and you got lots light output so use it. Can't grow a tree in a solo cup :).

Darkness pre harvest
Has anyone had success giving their plant darkness before harvest? If so, what percentage of amber do you like to see before shutting out the light?

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?
When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?

LST
Is it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp? I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall. When is it advisable to stop bending?

When is the proper time to discontinue LST? I am still spreading and tieing down the tallest shoots, when should I stop, or release the tie down, or should I just keep them tied down the duration? Thanks in advance!

LST clips
Am I using these clips right? The branches are aiming downwards and literally laying on the clay balls. I did try to bend the clips out a bit so they're not bending at such a sharp angle but they've gone back to shape. Is this going to damage or stress her too much?

Low-Stress Training, Pre-flower Concerns
When low-stress training, is it better to make sure the pistils of preflowering stage are covered by leaves or are they ok to be exposed to light? I thought they may be to vulnerable for full light exposure (150w FLS led, Royal Dwarf Auto, pre-flower stage)

I snapped the main stem during LST by accident
Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?
