Have I LST'd right?
I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right? I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

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?

What leaves are ok to remove?
Hi! Is it fine to remove the upper fan leaves on this plant as well or should I wait thill the side branches get bigger leaves? I removed the lowers leaves after LST so nothing touches the soil, but some of them are blocking a bit light for the new growth. Thanks!

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here
Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol ๐

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. Iโm beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Make LST or not?
Is it better to continue with defoliation only and switch lights 20th of January, or make some lst now and let her evolve longer (until the end of January...)? She had topping already๐
