No pics, but five weeks old, all things equal, is a great time to start training. I usually wait till there are 8 to 10 nodes, then pull the top over.

Depending on LST style , you can do this method .....
But be careful , plant only needs to be ” worked “ over to side a bit .... at a time.
Lower areas and mids will move vertically. Then you can “ tie “ emerging branches to even the canopy for more uniform lighting.

OR

Let Auto go natural and LST the mids / lowers for better light penetration and airflow.
This the easiest , especially if you have good lighting so plant can get blasted proper.
