Scrog or not?

Sooo, I'm not sure if doing scrog or not. The plants are growing equally in height, so I was thinking to scrog them for sustaining the branches with the net. I'm a scrog newbie btw don't be to harsh to me 😂

A trellis is for support LST, a scrog is for training HST, to do a proper Scrog it requires more of a hard surface rather than a bendy net, and nets are more for support than anything else, Scrog is usually combined with HST, specifically topping to induce more branching. For beginners, LST can be a safer and more manageable option, as it offers good control without the risks associated with high-stress techniques. On the other hand, more experienced growers who are willing to invest time and care in the recovery of their plants can greatly benefit from implementing HST. There is no right or wrong in learning so it depends on whether you have your heart set on a specific type of growing technique for future use. I would just put the net where you want it and keep bending branches across a square whenever one pops up past a point, try to use that as a guide for a week or two until you get a full canopy nice and thick, then slam her into flower hopefully everything will grow in unison. Good luck.

Looking at the plants as they are right now, I’d say you've already filled out the tent really nicely, to the point where setting up a SCROG probably isn't needed. Honestly, you’ve pretty much achieved a nice, even canopy already. How many plants are you running in that space? If your goal is support for heavy branches, you could just use a net for that purpose (kind of like a "sea of green" setup), but actually weaving branches through the SCROG at this point might cause unnecessary stress or damage. If you really want to try SCROG, you’d ideally want fewer plants—like two plants—to maximize training potential and keep things manageable. For this run, I’d say just stick with what you have, support branches as needed, and consider a SCROG for the next run if you want to experiment.

It doesnt really need it but it can help to keep the plants up when they get heavy with bud.Has that just started flowering?I'd take several of those leafs off as well.
