So I started this grow March 1st from seed in my 4x4 grow tent. The two front are OG Kush from seedsman. The back 2 are some bag seeds. This is my first grow ever and needed some critique on the plants so far, as I don't have much experience and want proper guidance. Right now I have topped 3 of the 4 plants, and used wire to LST. Sorry about the lighting.

I would advise against using wire like that for training. It will cut into your plant and that can cause problems. Since you are using fabric pots, I would recommend picking up some Velcro plant ties. I love them because you can just wrap one end around a branch, pull it down to where you want it, and then just stick the other end of the Velcro right to the side of the pot.

Are these autoflowers or photoperiods? If they are photoperiod plants, just top the fuckers, much easier than LST

You don’t tie things down when you top? I personally top and tie down so I can train them to grow low and wide.

I mean eventually you can tie branches down but i wouldnt tie down the whole plant.... Lot of the time you can just bend your branches until they crack a bit and they will spread out on their own.

I wanna test out scrog method, have you tried and do you recommend?

Scrog sort of eliminates the need to train. There are pros and cons but personally i see more pros. The biggest con is that once the plants have grown into it, your not moving them again till harvest. Ultimately I want to grow 4 plants in my 5x5 in a scrog.
