There’s plenty of air flow and light penetration. I wouldn’t stress her out. I think they could use those leaves for energy

With that amount of foliage I personally wouldn't. Doesn't seem like much light is being blocked, seems like you could get sufficient air flow, and if you take too much off you won't have anything left to catch light and create energy. My :text.02

Topping
I want o top my plant I hear pinching works best. This is my first plant so I want to be certain. I have six nodes right now. I would like to know where to pinch and which node. I’ve seen a lot of different ways of doing it.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

Top now or wait? Growing 4th node.
I'm about a week into veg, plants look to be about 4-6 inches tall. Most are going into their 4th node. Should I wait longer or is now a good time? Also, should I wait for all plants to be at around the same stage or should I top the ones that are ready first?

Can someone recommend the best tutorial for main lining? This is my second grow and first high stress attempt so the more extensive and in depth the better.

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?

Topping
Sorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule? In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?

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.

Broken Branch
I broke a branch while tying down my mains. The branch almost broke completely off. I splinted the branch in place and used some tape to secure it to the branch. Will my branch recover from this?

This is my first grow in a 2x4x6. I got carried away and packed it out. im on day 47 for everything. 3 autos, 6 photos. I defoliated autos right before flowering. The question I have is should I let the photos grow a little more before defoliating and or topping?

EXTREME topping :P
How many nodes have you cut off of a photo before? I plan to grow my Gorilla Glue and Gelato together till harvest, yoink the Gorilla Glue, flip the Gelato to flower. I'd like an idea just how extreme I can go with my next "topping" to keep this plant as small as possible.
