Okay how do I search for a journal on here? I just joined today, and in ur picture what am I suppose to be paying attention to?
 
You can top at the third node however its been my experience and also preference to top at the fourth it gives the plant a little more time to strengthen plus it gives you an extra node .

Technically you can top as many times as you want you will just have to compensate with a longer veg time.

Lst......just like the videos start early and veg.. Be careful not to snap or bend to forcefully and just tie it or stake it in the position you want.

The key is to control it to try to keep an even canopy. I however used lst without thinking how I actually wanted/pictured my final plant structure so just keep that in mind because when you do switch to 12/12 she will normal double in size and maybe bigger..... Happy growing

That would be much appreciated, correct me if I'm wrong but in ur picture I can see the one part where it's tied down, I thought when I lst I was suppose to be tying down all of the braches?
 
it is And isn't well see you at first I the main stop down when you are about 6 note I after that the side and should be coming supposed to keep tying the top know down as well as some of the side branches I personally only tied down about half to three quarters of the side branches and let some grow out that are shorter so that way when it's time for stretch they are all at a even canopy
 
It helps alot, I was reading on a site earlier about lst, when I tie down the braches do i cut the other stuff on the braches? I read somewhere it doubles everything?.. please correct me if I'm wrong.
 
I know how to top but my question about toping is can i only top the main stem or can I top the smaller braches growing on the sides
