First time grower ☘️ is it really necessary to do LST ?

I think what I really need is a big fat lolipop.

Because I'm limited in my width.

Not sure if I'll be able to make too many bud sites,I don't think I want to top, because that'll make my plants shorter.

How about a pic of the grow site? That would help for one.
I've posted that before, but here's what I have.

Note that the height I'm working with from top to bottom of window is about 5.5 feet
And my width is about 38 inches.

One moment I'll post some

Just enough space for three 3 gallon pots.

At least width and length...
But definitely more height.

The 5.5 feet vertical includes the measurements from the top of the pots.

So it's 5.5 total, not including the lights, which would take some of my height limits away , thinking about 4.5 feet tall max plant height.

What's the strain you are growing?
This one is gorilla glue#4.
I like this, but I'm thinking that'll be too wide for my window.

I'm going for tall/vs wide.
You asked what topping, lst together could do, so I was showing my version. Like I mentioned earlier you could just try one to get your feet wet. My plant I shared could just fit in the 38" and it's 4'+ tall from top of tote. The tote is 14", so 5ish ft tall total.
You remove excess branches?

Is that part of lst?
More of a part of lollipopping. You take the sites off as it grows b4 they turn into branches.
