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

When to begin LST
Any hard and fast rules for deciding when to start LST? I plan on doing SCROG later on but would like to tie down branches before then. On Day 19 with 4 nodes so far.

Does LST ever stop?
Tie downs for LST. Does it ever stop? When do you stop pulling her flat and let her shoot up? Do you ever remove the ties downs? When?

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

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?

Continue tie-down or start using a scrog net
Since it seems like I can do LST for quite a while longer, and I do technically have a scrog net lying around;Would you guys continue with the tie-down method, or position a scrog net 5-10 cm over the current canopy and guide the plant through the net? Just don't wanna over do it

LST attempt revamped
So I took the advice and added another tie at her base just so it's not pulling against her roots. I think I did it right. Top leaves are now pointing upward only after 1 hour after first tie...
