What light sequence to start with

On a 50 string set what end do I start with on a corro spinner and snowflake. It's my first time punching pixies.

Doesn't the maker have a recommendation?  Do they have a prop file? (since you are S6)

Ooo. May have missed the Question.  

IN (the node has a small circuit, The middle wire should have a label DI on the board (FWIW all min, the chip is on the DO side

Here is an update to the question I am asking. Sorry new to this. I have attached a picture showing the end (male) connector and the circuit side that has a "DI" on the tiny board.  I assume since this is the first pixie light this is the direction of the data flow and there for considered light #1?

This IS the normal IN. This IS the only INPUT location.

Pixie controllers do have a setting to reverse the LOGICAL #1. This gets logically tricky when the string Physical length doe not match the controller setting. A good example is drip lines (eves) where some have been cut shorter because the architect did not consider us 🙃 in their design. I have 60 nodes in one spot that is reversed (out of 100) I sequence 41-100 as it must send 100 sets of instructions.

DI is short for "Data In".  The other side should have DO with is short for "Data Out".

I can't tell from the photo which wiring standard those are for the connector.  Unfortunately there are are a couple that look the same and are not compatible.  Here is a handy reference for those:

I was thinking these were LOR and they needed to know what end was 1 to push nodes into their prop

Likely true, but was not making assumptions.
