Looks like shes off to a pretty good start, i would prune as little as possible, leaves store nutrients.

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!

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?
For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

LST on rigid main stem
I think I should have started with LST sooner. The main stem is rather rigid now. Unfortunately, I was away during Week 3. Would you recommend gradually pulling it sideways or better to leave it alone at this stage?

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

Too broken to save?
Aaaand I’ve completely disregarded my own plan of letting these girls grow naturally, and accidentally snapped the main stalk. Pretty much entirely across. I immediately taped it. But being that it’s an auto, is it even worth doing this?

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.

LST, is it good?
I have a question about my LST, my first, so if you have any advice. I want to do basically SCROG, with 6 branches and the two from topping. Do you think her first two branches will be able to get to the top? They are not growing much,thinking about lollipoping them before flower

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?
I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

How can I make this better?
How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.

Late LST - Week 5.5 - Done correctly?
I have decided to begin LST, despite the risks of stressing the plant at this stage. I figured with it being a hardy strain, it may tolerate the stress and the benefits may outweigh the risks. Have I done it right?
