I would think whenever you LST or scrog you're gonna stress the plant, just the earlier you do it the better the plant adapts and the more beneficial it it. Also the stress caused in flowering will probably slow bud growth just at the time it should be kicking in, resulting in reduced yields. JMO

e2a but a little lst started in flower isn't the same as doing it early on, the plant won't grow the same way (your not gonna get the horizontal main stem and colas from the bottom node going on, just even up the canopy a bit) and if you do as stinky suggested (leaving the main grow shoot at the top after the training) stress will be reduced
