I usually start when there are at least 3 nodes, those look to be the perfect size for training

LST : now or later ?
Hi guys ! I'd like to try LST on these sisters. Just wondering, looking at the latest photos do you think they're tall enough ? Or should I wait a bit more ? Also in which direction should I tie them down to maximize yield ? Thank you in advance ! 🍃☀️

LST/Defoliation Advice
I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

Early flower and plant too small?
Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx? Royal Critical Auto - RQS

How grow "mini" plants max 30-40cm high?
Hi! Because my tent is too small, I need grow my plants to be as small as possible. My ideal high is 30-40 cm max. What is the best way to achieve this? LST or TOPing? I think i prefer only LST so where is the best time for start? And the best floor for a "bend"? Thx!
