Don't worry about them dude. Lots of us use them or poke other things in our medium to train plants.

I do what you’re doing and I don’t stress with it. Poking a few roots as you push into the soil isn’t really detrimental. Exactly like Mickey said. It looks good. Cheers 🤙

Is this yellowing normal? Probably because of LST?
I am growing my plant with LST and some of the lower fan leaves have been moved down in the shadow. Is this the reason why those leaves are getting yellow and dry? All the rest of the leaves look very green and healthy by the way.

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?

LST - How far down should I pull the stems? If the leaves touch the media, too far? Try and go down as far as possible without breaking? Or just as long as the upper leaves aren't casting shade below?

LST - am I doing it right?
I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?
