Hey man, you can start with lst as soon as it has a stem, but most people usually start training it between weeks 2-4.. Happy growing!!

Topping for scrog
I'm putting 3 plants into scrog net. Would it be best to keep these topped to produce 4 mains so I can spread them evenly sideways as opposed to the way I normally top for 8 mains? In a 4×4 tent.

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

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.

Should I be starting LST. Been bending to get it used to it but not tied yet
I feel like the topic is very controversial about when to start LST. Some say 3 nodes some say 6. Attached is a picture of my biggest girl so far. Lots of new growth this week so far but not the tallest yet. Open to hearing from the grow community thanks

Does this LST look fine? Have them inside under the LEDs now that the sun is down. Primarily spend their time outside.

ScroG Autoflower
Would the ScroG method even be worth it for fast Autoflowers like Dark Devil Auto from sweet seeds for example? Or would LST be enough without it making much of a difference?

LST/Defoliation Advice
I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?
