As plants were small we didn't do the LST technique. Is it possible to bend them now? Is it worth?

What would you be trying to achieve? If height is an issue (not likely given the picture) then yes. If you are trying to get more tops, no it won't give you heavier yields at this point. Just let them be.

Yes bend them or lean them as much as you can trim foliage on light side up. That is if they are not woody yet. They appear to just be stretching. 🌱

You could, but in reality, no, it is not worth it now, just let them flower in peace.

If you use LST on autoflowers, is there any chance for them to finish later? I had an experience where I did LST on auto and it took more than 15 weeks to finish her cycle. She stressed out a bit, though. And how is it possible that some people achieve 8 weeks veg with autos?

Does my autoflowering plant look okay after topping
I did topping on week #3 and have been doing LST during the last 4 days. I feel I over-stressed the plant. Seems like it's to small for it's age. Please take a look at the photos I have attached and say: Does my plant look okay as for a middle of the 4th week of vegetation?😐
