Did I LST too early? She developed tiny shoots so wanted to give them more light, but now feel like I should have waited till she was a bit taller and stronger. Gonna leave her for a couple days and see

Are my plants too little for LST?
When should I start LST my plants? They are coming up on being there weeks old and I was thinking I'd start soon, but I think they might be too small and I'd hate to hurt them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? And thank you!

How high to place the scrognet over the auto flowers (pic below is 10 cm above the 15 cm tall plants), for them to stretch somewhat to still fill the net. The plants are in week 4 now.

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.

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.
When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Have just noticed that my slow lemon plant seems to have had a slight rupture, don't really know how it's still ok as it looks like it happened long enough ago for it to heal kinda... Guessing I got a bit heavy handed with the LST in a tired stoned state... Should I do something?
