As soon as they break their seedling stage which is indicated by its first five tipped leaf your free to bend away. 🤘😤

The easiest would be in the middle/end of 3rd week and 4th week, but it can be on the end of the 2nd or beginning of 3rd, or maybe even earlier if you´re bold enough, Peace

Royal Creamatic training
What kinda training would you recommend for this strain? RQS say it tends to 'grow one big main bud with just a few small branches,' so would it still make sense to do LST here?

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?

More training now? or leave her longer?
I've attached image from 7 days after defoliation and more LST and what she grew to today. Quite bushy, should I defoliate/tuck again so more light gets to lower branches? only do some more lst? more lst and defoliation? or leave her for now and let her grow? 35 days from seed

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.

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.

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!

General feedback
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)
