, Awesome man, good lucky with your grow :) LST is pretty straightforward, but you do want to be a little careful to not snap off a branch. You want to use the clips when the branches are pretty young because they are far easier to shape. I like to do it when there's about 2-3 inches of length between the freshest node and the previous one. Once you have it in the direction/shape you want you can just leave it alone and the plant will take care of the rest. I do take mine off after about 4 weeks because the stem has hardened to the shape and if you keep them on too long the stem can burst from being restricted.
Since the top node will immediately start growing upward toward the light when it's able, I also use the green plant ties as a secondary with the goal of giving some more spacing between the stems so the fan leaves don't block out the light from bud sites.
Overall I like the clips for stretching out the stems from the main branch, but I do feel like I get better results in later growth from the plant ties. Links to both -
