Pre-Flower(?): What should I consider?

These are stigmas, right? This being the first sign of pre-flower, is there anything I need to do/change right now (nutrients, etc.). I'm still performing very light LST to manage the canopy -- Is that OK, or is now the time to stop all LST? Thank you :)

I typically will continue the LST period through the pre-flower stage a little longer. The way I judge is to see how much give (lightly) that it has with the type of LST device you are using (pipe cleaners, stakes, etc.). If it still has a good amount of give, at the stage you are at now, you can keep on with the LST in my opinion, even if it's an auto-flower. Once the plant begins to pop out those little stigma-filled bud sites all over and the side branches begin to become more "woody" with less give (and remember, check the give gently), then I would remove the LST. As far as nutrients, keep to your plan that you have going. Keep an eye on the leaves for yellowing and the such. Sometimes when I have had plants enter the pre-flower stage they may get a bit more thirsty. I hope this helps! 👽

Yeah, those are your first preflowers congratulations! You can continue lst as much as you like or need to. Stay to introduce bloom nutes now to maximise budsites and pistils but don't cut out the grow nutes yet 👍🌱
