LST - How far down should I pull the stems? If the leaves touch the media, too far? Try and go down as far as possible without breaking? Or just as long as the upper leaves aren't casting shade below?

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anything
Heading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far. First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project. Never had such a low lush profile. Looking forward to Flower

Acabo de volver del fin de semana que estuve fuera✈️, la dejé en su caja encendida 24/7🔌 tras darle una ligera agua ,aproximadamente 30-40ml💦, me la encontré así, creció notablemente, le hago LST? Es buen momento?... ¿un alambre doblandole el cuello para que crezca horizontal?

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?

More lst?
On lemon 2 should I perform more lst? I looked at bending down what branches I'd be able to and it didn't make too much of a difference in regarding to how bushy she is and also the branches are starting to get quite rigid now. Thanks.

How to make the top cola not block all the other budsites? I tried LST to pull her to the side a bit as you can see in my second picture of this week, but she's very determined to grow towards the middle.

Is it time for LST?
Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.
