When to stop LST
My question is when do I stop tying my girls down and just let them grow? You can see from my photos that I've got quite a good spread now, should I just let them do their thing or carry on tying? Thanks in advance

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1
Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds. Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out. Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed? Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over. Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer? THX!

LST Gorilla Glue Auto
LST Gorilla Glue Auto Fastbuds, sieht das so gut aus? Und sollte ich den Hauptrieb weiterhin runterbinden weil sich die blätter immer über die seitentriebe stellen, oder soll ich den Hauptrieb erstmal hochwachsen lassen?

Thoughts?
Should I be concerned or do something differently? The plants all seem to be very small height wise, but otherwise doing well.

When should I defoliate photos in indoor 2x4x6 on day 47
This is my first grow in a 2x4x6. I got carried away and packed it out. im on day 47 for everything. 3 autos, 6 photos. I defoliated autos right before flowering. The question I have is should I let the photos grow a little more before defoliating and or topping?

Was this LST the correct move?
I felt like this girl was getting a bit too bushy and dense so i spread her out a little bit, I was wondering if maybe i was going a little too hard considering she probably wont stretch much more and is mostly focused on flowering.

Growing a plant across a tent using LST rather than into a bush
I’m growing two auto flowers in a 2x2 tent. Because of the small size of the grow space my idea was to put a pot in each corner of the tent and then try and train them to grow across the tent rather then just into a bush if you follow me. Is this even possible with regular LST?

Accidently topped my autoflower, we it survive/rebound?
Day 24 in my first ever grow. Mephisto northern cheese haze auto. Did a round of LST/Tucking last night, woke up to a fully broken off top growth of the main stem, effectively topping it(?). Is there anything I can/should do? Will it bounce back or should I start another grow?
