That is 100% up to you! There isn't any reason I'm aware of you can't, but you don't have to if you don't want to. If you're trying to keep them a certain shape or control how tall they are getting or whatever, I would keep at it. Lst doesn't hurt the plant and until you're through stretch and into flowering they're going to keep getting bigger.
That being said, I definitely would if they were my plants, as they are just showing sex and are more than likely about to start stretching quite a bit!
Keep LST’ing to keep your canopy even, at least until you start seeing bud sites.

i feel like they grow twice it’s size over the night! Jheez that’s crazy 
some of the stems are going purple already so hopefully my buds gonna be purple too. rubbing my fingers on leaves, it smells more like citrusy/orange than umm well strawberry banana but we will see what it’s like when it’s harvested. for now i’m amazed with the results. but i’m almost sure at this point i’d have to move one plant outside. what if they have limited space like that, do they sort of start dying or be underdeveloped? thanks!

Red stems can be an early indication of a nitrogen excess or incorrect PH so definitely something to watch. The yellowing on the leaf tips would also lead me to believe that there is something out of balance.
Went back through this post, I would definitely hold off on any more N for now, and may be a good idea to check your ph.

thanks, that’s some useful info! i stopped feeding her like over a week ago, only water. the other two look good tho, do they? It might be the camera but it’s more purple than red, i had same stem colour on like second or third set of leaves. nonetheless i’ll pay attention to that and i’ll borrow ph meter from my friend. he got the proper one for £60 so it’s definitely better than the paper testers i got smh
As you can see, its something I've struggled with as well lol. I didn't ph at all in my first grow, and I was feeding them in 
OF from the start, so I don't know for sure which it was that was causing the issue but I don't have it now that I've not been feeding early on and have started phing my water.

I still do get a little bit early on, but I think that's just due to starting them in a richer soil than recommended, as they seem to grow out of it as they start using more of the N already available to them.
