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

I already topped.Should I be trying to tie down branches? or cutting off the huge fan leaves. The nodes are super close together. I am looking for quality over quantity.

Does the LST seem to be alright?
I need your opinion on the LST process I have implemented. Do you think I was too aggressive or did I do it the way it should be?

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

She's too tall! Advice???
One of my girls is much taller than the others. I missed a branch during LST, if that isn't obvious lol. Any advice on how to handle this? She's getting way too close to the light.

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??
Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more? (She is in her third flowering week)

LST and ScrOG
Hi, I'm a beginner grower, I only used LST once in my past diary and didn't master it all the way. I'm growing in hydro and the container I'm growing in makes LST a little difficult for me. My plant is auto .Can I start with LST and then switch to ScrOG for easier manipulation?

Regarding Fimming?
First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?
