Good...so with the LST you are ensuring that all of your budsites get direct full throttle light
without LST you can only lower the light as far as the top node which means the lower branches will get lkess and less "high quality" light this making smaller "popcorn" buds
with the LST method you will get a whole canopy of "main colas" and you can veg untill you are happy with the amount of tops you have opposed to not LSTing your restricted to vegging untill the plant reaches a maximum height of your ceiling
About the soil and nutrients...
What are your advice?
