am I being too aggressive in my LST? (see pics)

what do you guys think? I got a little carried away I think but why not?? not 100% sure what im doing or how im going to manage it as the plant is older but well see how it goes I guess.

is there certain leaves that I should NOT pin down?

the only ones that matter are the colas. The fan leaves dont matter.

You’re going more supercrop-ish. It’ll work fine imo, but you’ll want to trim a lot of the foliage down along the ground to ensure airflow around the soil surface.

Oh, and as long as you aren’t breaking any stems, it’ll work fine.

Is it an auto?

Other than leaves contacting your great looking medium it's a fine LST.

awesome. good to know. thanks guys.

as you can see, I also topped this one.... so how what do I do with those 2 off shoots? not too sure what to do next besides keep pinning it down in circles forever haha.

I blew all the dirt away from the stems and branches so there is actually a gap between the dirt and the plant now.

this is NOT an autoflower. which made me wonder today... we had 1 auto flower last grow and 2 plain ones.

the auto flower was MUCH nicer to trim and produced a few large buds whereas the others produced a ton of small stuff. with training, am I able to get a photo period plant to look like an auto flower?? (pretty sure this is a yes)
