Looks fine to me I have done a Jack herer this same way if you would like to look and my grow it is currently early flower stage. I would wait a week longer next time before starting the lean on mine next time to add some ability to flex without stunting.

Yes that looks right, the idea of LST is to bend and train so that other stems are equal to the center stems. Topping at 3-5 node is recommended for photos. I don’t personally recommend topping autos

Need tips/help with very very bushy plant Potted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G

LST method, topping and switching to flower!Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping?

Lst and pk I think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

Is it time for LST?Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?
