Idk how to manage this. First grow, tried some LST but obviously had no idea what I was going.

It's already flowering, probably just leave it. It's a bit chaotic but it's also a success. You managed to get a ton of even "tops", which is the goal. Next time you'll have a better idea of how your tie downs, etc will affect the end shape. Cheers and nice work.

honestly I don’t think you need to do much else to “manage” this plant. It looks happy, there’s enough breaks in the canopy from defoliation that it looks like you’re getting good light penetration. I’d just leave her be and let her flower. If you’re notice any big fan leaves growing over a bud site and blocking flowers from getting light you can pull those but I’d leave what’s left. She looks vigorous and will probably impress you!

Looks good to me. Just try not to stress too much when flowering cause it can cause hermies.

I’ve defoliated at least twice now. I’m planning to do more but I feel like idk which to remove. I think I do but.
