that info is pure bs. don't follow please. removing lst ties won't reset stress history of the plant and you'll lose the shape you put it in.There is simply no need to remove lst as plant already got over the stress.many people I've seen here don't know what is the signs of bending-low stress training stress. Plant looks droopy and stays behind other plants for a couple of days which is mistaken for overwatering.Then all the stress goes away as branches keep growing to the light,vegetation continues. Your plant seems to be happy with the training and have found its shape. lst doesn't cause a continuous stress. it's all temporary and usually goes away in a few days after bending.Now if you remove because it is in flowering, all effort will be gone and lower bud sites won't get the light because all of the bent branches will straighten up overnight.I've done it before, not because my plants were in flowering, but because ties were too crowded and thought about removing some. Shit happened and I had to start over.I didn't though. Autos are not pieces of glass, they can handle lst as well as photoperiods. Just put the ties on. this is a photoperiod plant's reaction to lst : https://media.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/2308/3434418_golden-tiger-killer-a5-haze-congo-grow-journal-by-highroller909.jpg week after that : https://media.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/2308/3465767_golden-tiger-killer-a5-haze-congo-grow-journal-by-highroller909.jpg while other enjoyed lst,this one was unsure about it and had a droopy sad look when I applied on it. You see the recovery in the second photo this one was an auto with lst on : https://media.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/2308/1551893_blue-dream-039-matic-zkittlez-auto-lsd-25-cbd-1-1-aka-cbd-crack-girl-scout-cookies-grow-journal-by-highroller909-growdiaries.jpg and I loosened the rope a litle bit and look at the main stem. plant got much closer to the light,I've lost space because of that mistake : https://media.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/2308/1563984_blue-dream-039-matic-zkittlez-auto-lsd-25-cbd-1-1-aka-cbd-crack-girl-scout-cookies-grow-journal-by-highroller909-growdiaries.jpg

Hi mate, as your plant is an auto I would say that was a great idea. Autos hate stress and any will affect yield. I would advise light SCROG though. As you let them loose, she will stretch a little and you may get a couple of overlapping branches. A scrog net will help keep them separated. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing
