Those look very nice for a first grow
The thing with conflicting info being perpetuated is usually because both sides are right, but for different reasons.
The ones who hate something usually didn't take the time and / or effort required to correctly start dialing that particular style in and they failed so they claimed it doesn't work... and the ones that love it did what was needed and had good results and kept tweaking till they consistantly got good results.
Weed is easy to manipulate and hard to kill. Perfect the style of your choice and then dial in the variables of that style.
With my style I would run those exact plants at that stage at around 75 - 78 rh but I would dial airflow, temps, spectrum, light height, and feed, and I would have defoled the LR already and the RF I would have given several haircuts by now and I would push their potential.
So.... you seem to have a green thumb so my suggestion would be to do your first few grows natural and learn the plant... learn to read a plant... tinker with your variables and learn to dial them in over several grows.
Then start manipulating the plants after a few grows. When you get the hang of that one move on to another style of manipulating and learn that one.
These are fun to experiment with, and the only correct way for you to grow is the way that works best for you.
Doesn't much matter if you see charts or quotes from books or if you get advice... all that is just someone else's view of what's best because it worked for them in their style and system.
These are really really hard to kill after you dial in your basics. Start by learning the plant itself.
Or not... just my opinion...
