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

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)
During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

Stress training
Should I use a training technique on any of my autos or just get a successful grow to harvest for my first grow? If so when should I do this? Are there any stress techniques that should not be used on autos?

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)
My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

Should I start LST?
Any specific direction I should tie it? Also is my bottom leaf good? It seems to be shriveling a bit, but the plant has been growing despite it. I'm calling it day 18 from sprout. Thanks in advance for any advice. Blimburn blackberry auto.

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.

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1
Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds. Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out. Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed? Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over. Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer? THX!
