Does LST with galvanised pegs (rounded edges) damage the root system? Is what I have done here OK? Comments appreciated

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 🤙

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!

When to stop LST? (Auto)
When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

What is a good method of training for increasing pistol site development and bud growth. I'm currently doing LST and just tucking fan leaves out if the way if developing sites. Is it okay to remove leaves at this point blocking sites? Should I wait till flowering and just tuck?

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?
I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

Hey, why is this happening? Is the tsw2000 Mars Hydro lamp really that powerful at 50-60 centimeters? With 60% brightness dimmer? Did I add too much water? (0.3ML WATER) per plant I applied LST.

height Hydro Mars TSW 2000 LED lamps during LST training
When starting LST training, should the TSW 2000 hydro mars lamp be hung higher so that the plant can stretch or hang the lamp lower?

So, I am on my last day of week 5 with these auto’s. They are still aggressively growing upwards. Was wondering if now would be too late to start some LST with them? Pros and cons? Thanks guys!

Was this LST the correct move?
I felt like this girl was getting a bit too bushy and dense so i spread her out a little bit, I was wondering if maybe i was going a little too hard considering she probably wont stretch much more and is mostly focused on flowering.

I'm stressing over LST. I believe it is time. Going to get some materials for it now. If you look at my latest video though you notice my first plan stem is super thick already at 19 days, did i wait too long for lst for that particular plant?

Am I doing LST training correctly?
I'm at the beginning of Week 2 (AUTO-FLOWER), I'm trying to do some LST, little bending and nothing more. Can anyone please say if I'm doing everything correctly? I don't want to stress my lady, and I also won't do it bad way. I will be grateful for every tip!
