I'm still pretty new to all this so I'm just going off what I've learned in my reading/listening over the past couple months. It seems like a basic rule of thumb that after the plant have developed its 3red node you can safely train your plant. However, many people seem to say you can start LST as soon as the first node and branches pop (talking about from seed, not from clone since clones need more time for roots to take hold of the soil or something like that). Definitely start light and gentle, but if you want to train the stalk to grow a certain way you can start tying it down or maybe tying the branches to spread opposite directions. In my couple months of caring for my gals (I didnt start from seed btw and was given large clones so I have no real experience with seedlings) I can definitely say cannabis is very good at recovering when you fuck with it. I've supercropped pretty much all my branching and they just grew back harder, stronger and bushier. I stressed the fuck outta my girls when I was first given them too. Going from freezing cold trunk for 2ish hours before being given to me, to transplanting from synthetic nutes in coco to organic in soil once I got them home, to super low humidity the first 2 days (had a snow storm and couldnt go buy a humidifier).
I've watched a ton of videos but this was one of my recent favs on training
