I'm a fan of LST, but for me it means "Light Stress Training".
I remember growing a closet plant with just the top lighting until she started to flower, then I turned on all the side lights.
The big fan leaves shriveled up and died but I didn't see that as a bad thing.
I figure the plant simply didn't need those leaves anymore so she shed them.
She didn't need to waste resources supporting those leaves and the smaller leaves were more than enough to provide the photosynthesis for the whole plant, and more light could reach the middle of the plant and the bud sites.
With my last closet plant, I just removed the big fan leaves when I turned on the side lights.
With my current closet plant, I've had my side lights on for most of the grow, but I still have some fan leaves that are shriveling up and dying. (Although I did remove the bottom two nodes.)
So I figure that if you increase your lighting and see what looks like a bad reaction to it, it may just be adapting to the change in intensity.
If the change is gradual, she may be able to adapt, but if the change is all at once, she may just ditch her bigger fan leaves.
I found that the smaller fan leaves were always able to adapt, and the new growth just grew up with the intense light and always looked healthy.
I figure the plant doesn't need to waste resources on big leaves and making all kinds of chlorophyll to accommodate photosynthesis and can put more of her resources into making frosty buds dripping with resin.

The new growth of them are much better, but the younger one is showing lack of nitrogen, i did notice yesterday and today i have 4 yellow leafs, but the older one doesnt show any sign of lack of nitro, wich is odd. Either way im going to feed them tonight so lets see gow they will be tomorrow, the soil is already dryed so im good
Appart from that they remain the same as before, the younger one perky, the older one droppy, may be because of space in the roots??
Older one is a mini jungle
Buddy bud of the younger one wich is much more mature than the other
Temps 24/25c rh 50% day time 20/22c rh 50% night time
Peace

My training is kinda light
Keep an eye on the new growth for signs of stress.
My fan leaves took about a week or more to shrivel and die when I went to full side lighting.
Thanks
She's looking really good to me.
She might even fill the closet for the first time with my LED strips.

Thanks buds, all of them look good tho, perky and praying, im also playing with the distance between tthem and the lights to see how they react and untill now all seems good.
Tho, the day that i added the 13w to them, they were perky but i noticed it was to much light and im sure because at that time i had some fan leafs tucked to direct light in the lower branches, and in just that ammount of hours the lights were there, the lower branch curved down, the top of that branch and the actual branch too. The readings were a bit higher than before, 2~3k. The skunk took it better tho.
The 13w were at 47cm distance from the cannopy, and now the 9w are at 15cm +/- from them and the auto looks very perky
Im keeping an eye on the new growth to see if anything is avoiding light, 15~18k lux by now and she seems good

So the girls that are flowering seem to have liked the watering yesterday. Gave them a 2ml/l of grow 2ml/l of bloom, pinch of epsom and 1ml/l calmag and a bit of bactohemp (microbes), ph 6.7 +/-
no new yellow bottom leafs today and the ones that were already yellowish didnt get worse.. they already drinked a good amount of the water, the pot is much lighter than yesterday, need to be carefull to not overwater them
The bigger girl looks perkyer tho and showed some yellowing in the bottom leafs today, maybe they were already like this yesterday and i didnt notice
