 LST==>flowering advice  1

This is some first time "got a random seed outa some weed man"-grow.
150W MH, HPS ready, I just have a question:
When should I introduce 12/12?
Cabinet is 38"x33"x16". Temps is like 95 F because we have summer now and my ventilation is not too good, but she (hopefully seems to feel fine).
But look for yourself:
I LST'd her when she was at fifth internode, now she's at seventh and the secondary branches are already beginning to shoot.
Even if I'm doing this for personal use only, needless to say that I wanna get the max out of it so that I can refrain from organizing weed for like half a year if I do it right (I don't need THAT much).
Ok, now you might not see it, but the secondary branches are getting to second internode now. I'm thinking of introducing 12/12 photoperiod when they have shown their third internode, so that I'll have a thick little bush (spacial constraints). Strain is unknown, but according to the very wide leaves it seems to be an indica dominant strain (if I remember it right, boy was that some stinky couchlock shit  DD).
Would anyone recommend flowering it after the third internode on the side branches? Otherwhise, if I LST the side branches will they shoot terciary branches?
Thanks for every bit of advice I can get 
Also: When should I put the HPS in? Right with photoperiod?
Edit: Uh yeah right, forgot to mention we are in like fifth or sixth week after germination or so.

I'd tie her down once or twice more then after you get a few more side branching happening throw in the HPS and start flowering. Keep in mind you don't know if it's a female yet. So be prepared to have to kill it.

Yup. I will
But seriously, can one LST the side branches also so that they develop side side branches?

Yes you can, check out my grow log and see how my girl bushed out using LST (tie down) over 47 day veg. (16" tall x ~30" diameter)
Good luck, hope it turns out to be a girl

Hawk, did you remove any fan leaves to make room for side branches?
Some of the fan leaves are stealing away the light from them.

I NEVER remove fan leaves. I may tuck em down, but that's the most I'll do.
And I knew there wasn't any offense intended in that post bro.
