Need help with my girls

Hello again guys, I'm back again with yet another question :D

So I decided to try out doing LST on my plants for the first time, I'm trying to be careful, but not too careful either.

Would appreciate any feedback from you :)

Should I pull more ? or should I pull more and more day by day ? The one I did LST on is my LSD auto, should I start doing it on zkittlez as well ? it looks puny next to the other strain. They are both roughly 21 days old now.

They are both pretty short, lower leaves are touching the ground, I got to water them today as well and was wondering if it's safe right after doing LST.

I'm sorry for all these questions, but I thought I'd keep this thread updated for as long as I can, I will learn a lot and so might others who are beginners like me. I might come back with many more questions and my experience might be of use to others as well.

P.S I also took a video but file was too large to upload, if you need clearer pictures I can take them.

Yea I’d pull down so that the top is level with the other potential tops.
Trim the lower leaves that touch the soil.

I pull the main stalk down to the side. I continually adjust the tie so that the stalk grows at an angle. If you don't adjust the ties, the top will continue to grow vertically where the tie down is as it stretches for the light.

I like to use pipe cleaners to tie branches down, it doesn't pinch the stalks like wire does. Top and FIM over and over again and tie them all down.

I start training in the quart size pot, working up to either 3 or 5 gallon fabric.

It was a total of 51 days vegging from the first picture above to this picture below.

Hello I'd like to post an update, it's day 29, both flowers are growing nicely but zkittlez is still having some issues, I encountered more bronze spots on fan leaves.

What do you think I should do? some say rusty leaves like that are sign of bad air circulation, I've got 2 smaller intake fans and 1 big fan that pumps air out which is connected to carbon filter.

Or do you think it's nute burn and I should flush it ? was thinking about using florakleen when I water it next time. I would also like to mention that I have normal pot for zkittlez and airpot for lsd auto, I have lots of holes for the normal pot as well but I noticed that drainage is not nearly as good, but it shouldn't be an issue, i got shitloads of holes in the bottom and sides... I still get hardly any runoff when I water zkitzzlez.

Zkittzles is in 10L pot, LSD auto is in 20L pot, I pour 1L on zkittzles and 1.5L on the other girl, LSD usually gets nice runoff and zkitzzles doesn't, could that be the root of the issue ?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, I worry that it might greatly damage my plant.
