LST or SCROG. I prefer LST because I like to be able to move my plants if I want/need to.

The two methods give you a canopy that fills the area. You lollipop underneath since light will not get through. You can get some nice colas this way and it just looks cool too. For your size and 4 plants I would start training them now. 4 plants should fill the room nicely.

I'm growing 4 plants right now each in 7 gal pots in a 4x4 tent with 8bulb t5. They'll move into my 5x5 tent this week for bloom under a 1000w hps raptor hood. I had great results so far supercropping. Pinching the stock under the node till you hear a pop then bending it slightly. It manipulates growth. My clones are almost 2 month old and are under 2 ft. Its a awesome way to control height and increase your yield with many tops. Good luck.

By pinching the top at the nose your talking about topping so you get more colas right?

He means supercropping(pinch,turn & lay down) the top to bush out the lower branches, by the time the dominent top heals, you will have other tops just as high to take better advantage of lighting.
No he is meaning to super crop...pinch under the node, literally everything above what he "pops" drops over and all that side shoot turns into different colas

No pinch under the node. Sometimes you'll hear slight pop then bend it ever so slightly 90 degrees. The stem where you bent will repair itself. Doing this slows down the top growth and allows the bottom growth to catch up creating a even canopy. One of the plants I'm working with has reacted very well to supercropping, my plant almost has a v shape to it and its all even toward the top making it look almost flat at the top when looked at from far. Think of a hedge.
