If no stems are breaking, you're fine. If they're kinking but not breaking, you're still fine - you're just super-cropping (high stress training) instead of LST'ing. I can't see any problems doing your LST with that circle wire. I use wire twist ties, too, but I tie down individual branches using binder clips on the containers:

ok if i made sure not to kink any steams and just band it with the weight of the circle it should not induce HST right?

Correct!
