Looks fine, I wouldn't worry about or change anything it seems like your plants are liking what you're doing already

What are the temps in there? They do seem to have early signs of heat stress. See how the leaves are staring to curl/canoe up, especially towards the top of the plants? That a sign it's too hot.

Around 78 to 81 when the light is on around 70 when off could I have the light to close to the plants that's farenheit

They are under a 1000watt mh was gonna switch to flower tonight because I think I over filled the tent what's your opinion

1000 watt is perfect for the 4x4 and honestly you can manage the crowding, i would bend them down for some LST then toss a net like this over them
if you train them around the net it will help support the budding branches and spread out the plants for more surface area to absorb light.

I actually bought a net just never put it up.. So you think I should put it up and what is LST mean? You think I need to get that fan out of the way?? Also is that your garden in the pic?? If so very nice!!1000 watt is perfect for the 4x4 and honestly you can manage the crowding, i would bend them down for some LST then toss a net like this over them

Its taking up valuable budding real estate so I would personally move it out of the tent and get smaller attached fans or leave the tent open with the fan blowing in if that's an option , that might also fix your heat issue but can cause other issues with smell ect.
nope just a resource picture to illustrate the point
My garden is still small atm you can actually see the fans i mentioned above they run 13$ or so

If other lighting will get to them then yes that would be a huge no no keep it closed. I would put the net up and bend her around it carefully then veg them until the net is filled with tops then switch to flower. That being said it's not needed but I find it beneficial, you could toss them in as is and be ok. Just be careful with how close they stretch towards the light since heat is already an issue.

If you take a look in my 1000w grow in sig, you'll see how I've used a box fan. In three weeks is going to lay on the floor as I'm going vert
