New to growing and first time in flowering stage. How late into flowering do people train their plants by using tie downs? When should you leave your plant alone and let it grow? How late can you super crop? Thanks

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

Is now the time to top?
Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.

Any thoughts on the LST? Its day 22 for her. Am I overdoing it or can I do it better? The stem is in a very sweet spot where it bends very easily. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Too many branches?
Have tied down the 8 main branches so that all are horizontally on the same level "Circle of Buds". Now there are a mass of new branches, should I let them all grow or should I reduce them?? She has a space of 55 x 45 cm horizontally. How many buds make sense at 55cm x 45cm?

When to stop LST? (Auto)
When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

LST different directions
Since she is growing taller can i train her to go the opposite direction using LST? She is strong but is definitely angled to the one side due to LST training(see pics ). Can I also do it yo other branches if so which ones?

Topping or no topping? Or any training?
High! Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉 What do you think? Thank you very much✊

Should I defoliate the lower nodes of the branches?
Wondering if I should defoliate the lower nodes of all the branches (as shown in the picture, white arrows pointing to what I am considering cutting) to maximize growth of each top. Thoughts?

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)
