I don't think anyone can answer the first part of your question. Since lst'ing the plant is something you'd do extra, not something you'd be neglecting the plant by doing. You MAY potentially gain bud by doing, but you're really not going to lose any bud by not doing it. Some of the pro's here may be able to give you an idea of increase in yield, but I don't think it can be given with any sort of accuracy. That's just my opinion, so take it for what it is.
Now for your nutes, especially when using time release soil, I personally don't use veg nutes at all. I've grown a couple of NL autos from Nirvana and mine have started flowering within weeks 3-4. I do seem to run a bit N deficient, sol you might want to watch for that, but I only use flower nutes with my autos. Again, that's just my method, some of the more experienced guys might chime in with something different. Other than that one brown spot and the missing tip of another leaf, she's looking pretty to me so far. Good luck with her!

Thanks for the feedback and i also think lst ing won't help or hurt my grow in any way i was just looking for suggestions.
So you say don't worry about veg nutes when should i add flowering then?
And the brown leaf is from one of my lights leaning on it which i didnt realize until it was too late and the missing leaf tip was my failed attempt at lst ing lol.

I know all too well how easy it is for a light to get on, or too close to a leaf without realizing it. Hell, right now, I got an odd as hell shaped bud formation going on because I had unexpected and unattended to growth while I was out.
A lot is going to depend on your soil. Personally, I don't add nutes to my autos until I see a bunch of pistils forming. But, like I said, you may want to watch your N levels. You get a lot of your N from veg nutes. From what I've been reading and comparing to my own grows, I usually run an N def. I could probably get better results if I added some in. But, with the results I'm getting, I don't want to change too much right now. Personally, I'm strapped for cash and I only have a couple beans left, so I'd rather only get a couple oz's per plant than risk screwing up my plants to get 4 per plant. But, after I place my next order next month and I have a few extra beans, I'm going to experiment a bit.
