Will this do? I read the benefits of LST a little late in the game of my first indoor grow. However, I'd like to reap the benefits...is this lst ok? Pic 1, she's to the right, pic 2 she's leaning back. (pic 3 before) Neither touch each other or the walls.

Thank you! More light, and I will leave the girls to do their thing. I know you won't believe me, but I'm a patient woman. ✌

Newbie ignorance. Should they be horizontal for maximum reflection?

Done my fair share of vertical grows, I keep the top of the light a few inches above the tops of the plants, your pics make the light look above the canopy well(90%)
only a newbie would lst a plant, while using long vertical leds(I would use one in each corner, based on a 2ft(w) x 2ft(d) x 3ft(h) flower room )
 
Ah, sorry, those lights, what appear to be vert LED's, are in fact, red/blue spectrum lights that someone gifted me, I put them in before the plants thinking I may not have access later if I decided to use them. Although my lights may still be off....probably overkill (there's another 100W above the 3 in the picture)

I would top the plants, the side lights not an over kill, I would use them.
The lights don't look powerful, I would be keeping the lights 6-10" above the canopy.
Is the 100w the amount pulled from the wall?
 
They're 9W Full Spec. (Free to me) I was unsure about distance, I'll shift them to about 10" and turn on the red\blue, I'm running 24/0.
 
When I turned on the red/blues in the background I noticed silver spots on my leaves. Very small. I feel like a new Mom.
