Definitely too early for any topping or bending wait until the plant has atleast 5 sets of leaves check this out for details on LST techniques https://www.growweedeasy.com/low-stress-training-lst

In my opinion- yes. You should wait til you have 4-5 nodes at least

LST timing
I just topped my plant today, repotted and fertilized. How do I know when It’s time to start LST? Obviously I wanna give her like 5 days to recover and get used to her new pot, but I really want to maximize this yield. Thanks!!’

LST during flower?
LST during flower? I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now. I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

When to stop LST with autos? I have no experience... they are in week 4 now and it seems like they have started to pre-flower. Should I continue LST throughout week 4 or rather stop and let the plants do their thing?

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

ScroG Autoflower
Would the ScroG method even be worth it for fast Autoflowers like Dark Devil Auto from sweet seeds for example? Or would LST be enough without it making much of a difference?

Best way to train?
Am I best to bend the main and train horizontally or is it better to pull the leaves down and let branches grow up that way?
