So I see two types of LST that I’m considering on YouTube.
-
The main stem is pulled down and secured to the side of the pot by the wire. The main stem is held straight approximately 4 “ high by support line to side. Then pulled down to the other side.
-
The branches off the main stem are pulled down all around the circumference of the plant with wire.
Also should I trim some?
These Strawberry Pie Autoflowers are very leafy. They are at 5 inches high at the moment and growing. Day 23.

Your plants look great!
When they are that size I usually wait till taller before tying them down but some do it at that size really isn’t a best way just your way.
That small I would tend to use small garden stakes at first and then when bigger use safety pins and coated garden wire.
This one was up potted from a 1 gallon into a seven and hadn’t done any training at all nor defoliating until after transplant.
When they are in veg they will remain fairly pliable.
If it were me I wouldn’t remove anything from the plant yet.
Hope this helps
