I already topped.Should I be trying to tie down branches? or cutting off the huge fan leaves. The nodes are super close together. I am looking for quality over quantity.

Please help with LST on Seedsman Auto Lemon
She grows very squat and bushy. 3 weeks and only 13cm high. Big fan leaves cover many branches and grow nodes completely. Not sure what to do with her. Is it a good idea to bend the main stem 90 degrees? Or just tie the side branches to the edges of the pot + make defoliation?

Auto training techniques lst/hst/topping
Just about to start a few auto flowers, will be my second auto grow. Any tips for best training methods? I know lst is most popular but any recommendations on which one works best? Also any advice on topping? Lots of people say don’t but lots of growers seem to do this. Thanks!

Today is day 20 from seed, and i decided to lst my seedlings, even if some friends suggested to wait until the 4th week. What do you guys think? Since autos are so fast at vegging i thought it was better to lst them now.

This is my sour ripper and the truth is that I see it as robust and it is about to bloom, I think. I don't know if I would like to list it since I'm a novice as you can see in my peyote diary. does the lst make the buds denser?

LST wire damage
I have damaged a little my ladies with this really bad and sharp wire. Should i worry a lot or everything will heal naturally? It's not that the wire is that bad, it's just that i started lst early on and the plant is very soft.
