Should a plant with very small internodal distance get topped or is LST + scrog probably enough to open her up?

Lst and defoliation or scrog are the Gold standard. Less stress and same results in less time.

LST Defo = This?
It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions? Thanks

Enough LST for an autoflower?
I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Days between LST for mainline/manifold training
For mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?

Stress training
Should I use a training technique on any of my autos or just get a successful grow to harvest for my first grow? If so when should I do this? Are there any stress techniques that should not be used on autos?

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?
