First Grow LST Help! (pics)

Hi all, my setup:
2x4 closet grow, 300W COB LED's
5 nirvana blue mystic autoflower, 24 days from seed, DWC + top feed
50% humidity, 75 degrees F, res temp 65 degrees F

One of the 5 plants is growing wayyy faster than the others and I want to start LST, but the leaves are so dense (all the youtube vids I can find use long lanky plants with WAYYY less leaves) - if I tried to bend over the top stem I feel like the plant would receive less light over all. - should I just leave as is, wait a bit to LST, or just do it? Keep in mind it's been 24 days from seed already - and I expect this autoflower to start flowering relatively soon.

Safe to say that I should just LST the smaller ones regardless? I also have the materials ready to go for a scrog - if that would be the best option. Or will that be overkill for 5 plants in a 2x4 space?

Any and all advice is appreciated!!

imo more light and in the right kelvin ..looks like 6500 type kelvin when 2700 k is required here

light in the 6500k range makes short squat plants

light in the 2700k makes tall lanky plants

avoid defoiling until you got height

good luck

Thanks for the input. Yeah I can't believe how short and squat they are - even for an indica based auto. Timber Grow Lights model 3VL which is 300w of 3500k - which I got since I can apparently use them for both veg and flowering.
