I started with a Mars blurple because that's all there was at the time..the good ol ufo days lol..I added some timber cobs a few years later then a few years ago got a china samsung 281qb and I love it. Led have exponentially gotten better. Autoflower is great and convenient for personal use I've had some 4ft tall,it's all about the genetics.

They are starting to bounce back now after the massacre!! Thank goodness. But they are still short and bushy.

Looking better. For future reference, you may wanna hold off on the LST until they get a bit taller. When I was newer and more impatient, I'd bend them over as soon as they were just tall enough to do so, and I'd usually end up with very short bushes. Now, I like to let them get a little more height before LST, that way there's a bit more space between branches and you allow for more light/air penetration deeper into the plant. Also, when there's a bunch of big leaves very close to the soil like that, they tend to get in the way of watering.

Me personally I would invest in recharge or great white or mycos it will help you recover from these mishaps and I only defoliate the single and three finger leaves initially and let everything else stay until plant is developing buds , the other posts that folks made are great tips as well
