I like to get into the space to check things out, inspect flowers, etc. I think that is important. When tying back I am not sure how the distance control is any different from going forward through the trellis (unless you also tie back colas that are growing forward into the light)?
Not sure how you need less time trimming, spraying etc (I am only spraying foliar feed in veg anyway)?
Everyones space is different so you got to find something that works for you. There is no right or wrong here.

Oh yes there are right and WRONG ways to garden! Any forum here is absolutely slopping over with examples of both! LOL
That said, there are many ways to skin the growing cat without going WRONG.
I can easily get inside the trellis to work. Since not going inside will always be even easier, I found trellis I could reach through to work the plants- and this eliminates about 3/4 of the trips inside, even for spraying.
Yes if course I can- and definitely do- tie branches and colas back do they don't grow too far into the light. This also helps keep a more even and therefore productive canopy.

I made a bracket to hold a socket and did a double cooltube out of a regular one. Yours looks like it is longer than a normal cooltube, based on the distance between bulbs in the pic. How long is it?

800 mm long 6 inch diameter
Very nice better than 2 normal tubes put together and cheaper
Pain to change the bulbs tho which I'll need to do soon to change to HPS
for last grow I used single tube but 5 inch in a very small grow room 2x2ft and 3.5ft high and everything was in that space extractor and ballast and 4 plants around the tube lol

To be honest it was insanity....the colas were 9-10" wide and that photo hides a lot of it. Took me days and days to crop 32 plants in that single tray! I had bud rot problems but the potential....I saw it!! This time round theres 30 in twice as much space.

Great pics like your scrog net going to be putting my net in possibly tommorrow might do it very similarly I've also realised I don't need as many plants next time as overcrowded lol

Try raising some of the plants (alternate up and down) on pots or something, especially since you got that big old cool tube in there. Utilise the height, your plants lower branches will appreciate it.

Roof qube rq120 1.2x1.2 x 1.8. Reduced to 1.7m height due to very low ceiling. First grow in new tent. Considering last grow was 2ft X 2ft and only 3ft 4inch high much better lol. Have considered putting a shelf around the room to make 2 tiers
Have changed bulbs today to 2x600 watt hps managed to lower tube slightly too so should help
