I personally wouldn't worry about it. If you're trying to keep the canopy even, try low stress training the two tops.

hey justsometomatoes i was trying to get lots of tops try and up the chance of a better
yield lst is tying branches down yes

Every time you top the plants you temporarily stunt the growth while the plant catches up. In the long run you end up with more side branches because you have more than one stalk for them to grow from, not to mention more colas. Every time you top though, the colas will be slightly smaller than the one(s) you had before topping. Most plants max out around 2 or 3 toppings so it makes no sense to do more than that. So the trade off is you have to spend more time in veg and get smaller colas but yield more in the end.

Yes, LST is tying the branches down without breaking them to train the plant to grow horizontally. If you're looking to increase your yield, this technique will help you do that. SCROG is a variation of LST where you use a screen or net instead of just tying the plant down to get an even canopy.
