Training during flower?

Okay so I'm new to this guys. Got my first 2 ladies I just flipped 4 days ago. I did top them awhile back but didn't do any other type of training. I'm just trying to make sure I get the biggest harvest and make sure I have enough room horizontally and vertically to get to make it to the finish. Just needing some help to see if there's any type of training I can do now

You can still do training during the first few weeks after flip, it’s not a problem. I would try to avoid high stress training such as super cropping after week 4 or so, but sometimes you just have to and they will still grow just fine.

LST if your branches are still bendable. If not it’s too late. But they should still be fairly bendable. I drill holes in the pot and use coated wire to tie them down.

I don't have a bunch of room is the only thing. 2x4x6 and the plants are probably 2-2.5 ft tall? I let them stay in veg longer than planned because of circumstances

That's what I was set on pretty much was just trying down. I wanted to use a trellis but from not training at all during veg every bud site I have are all different heights besides the few on the 2nd node from the top of each plant

I like bonsai training wire. You just wrap it around the branch and bend wherever.

yup, LST earlier in flower is no problem from my experience.
there are clips available or you could 3d print some.

The ac infinity tent kit I ordered came with some really good plant wire and a trellis and some other stuff to train them. Just trying to figure out my best option. Which it seems like just putting holes in the top of my buckets is probably my best bet

Why do you need to make holes.
Just mash the plant down with a net, or wrap branches with wire and bend wherever.
Either works.
I have hung fishing weights from branches to spread things out without stress. It isnt hard

Just not a very creative or innovative person man. Kinda on the slow side lol. But fishing weights sounds like a good idea but holes just to put the wire thru was the plan

Any of the above mentioned methods work just fine. Keep in mind if you go with a trellis net attached to your tent frame you can no longer easily move the plants.
