I absolutely refuse to LST these plants. Like I said before, my first plants in 29 years will be au naturel, or in a natural state. Well, as natural as one can get indoors. I even considered topping them, but decided against it. That's when I decided to let them grow with no interference, outside of changing light cycles.

I put some seeds in the ground a couple days ago. They are indeed candidate for topping and LST.
Your plants are growing tall and straight.
If you want only one large central cola,it's fine.
If you want more buds and a more bushy plant,LST is required.
