When You recommend to start LST?So, it is the question: when? I wanted to train them few times already, but scarring to broke yong trunks always stops me. Maybe I should wait more time to them produce heavy crone? What do You think about it?

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!
