LST always depends on the length of the main trunk. If this is too short, there is a risk that you will snap it off. In this case, topping is more appropriate. Your plants have grown tall, so you can now bend them with a large radius.
You can usually see this from the 3rd node, at the latest by the 5th you should have done it. Otherwise the truunk will be too thick to bend.

Those are plenty large enough to start lst. Use plant wire with the rubber coating, string etc can cut through the stems, it’s pretty cheap and works great

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

To LST or No LST?Does practicing LST on autoflowers actually increase your yield? I ask this because I look at people who grow without any training at all and they seem to have way more bud sites. I prefer an answer from someone who has experience growing both ways. Thanks
