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

LST wire damage
I have damaged a little my ladies with this really bad and sharp wire. Should i worry a lot or everything will heal naturally? It's not that the wire is that bad, it's just that i started lst early on and the plant is very soft.

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?

Training Methods
So has anyone ever laid a plant down like this one has been done? I've looked up LST and mainlining but no luck yet. Always have just tied down branches. Any experience/advice with this would be great.

When to start with LST
Can anyone advise me on when should I start with LST? What’s the right size? My plants have 6cm and 7cm right now, and I want them on a bushier format since I don’t have a lot of room, can any more experienced grower help me?
