Hiya folks. I'm doing a quick run in my 2x2 to top my supply off before I move this summer. My first using PM HP for a full grow (flowered my last run in it due to a shitty batch of FFOF). Was originally planning on a single plant in a SCROG but have decided to run all four seeds that I germinated instead.
2x2x4 tent
HLG QB 288 running @135 watts
4 Orkle in 1 gallon pots of PM
Jacks

Here is where I'd like suggestions. Would you run this as a SOG? Maybe an early topping and light training to create an more even canopy? I'm leaning towards SOG, but I'm not sure 4 plants in a 2x2 is dense enough. The goal is to keep veg time short, but I'd like to minimize wasted space as much as possible. Outgrowing the tent (2x2x4) is a very real possiblity if i get carried away.

Here is were they're at as of today.

So what do you all think? How would you run them and how long would you wait to flip?
Thanks all.

I'd let them get about 12" tall and switch them to flower.

Here's 4 plants in 1 gallon containers. Excuse the yellow leaves. I didn't stay on top of feeding properly as these were plants I think had intended to give to someone and they never picked them up so I just tossed them in the flower tent when they were around 12" tall. 4 plants like these would be about right for a 2 x 2 tent. Good luck.

That looks about perfect. Did you do any topping or training in those or are they au natural?

3 plants does not a SOG make. As noted, train them or go single cola for a few weeks at least.

There are 4 plants as stated in my first post. 1 was not pictured as it was being transplanted at the time. The pic was just to show how much growth had already occurred. I agree that 4 plants in a 2x2 is not a proper sog which is why I expressed concern about it. I think xtsho gave me a road map that I'll do well with. I'm just not experienced with promix and wasn't sure how growth rates would differ from organic soil and rDWC which are the methods i am experienced with.

Just an update to say that I am pretty impressed with the rate of growth I'm getting in promix. It isn't rDWC fast, but definitely faster than soil by a large margin. Pic below is only a day and a bit from the pic in the 1st post and I'm seeing excellent development. Particularly out of pheno #1. I'll be topping above the 4th or 5th node depending on how the plant structure looks when I get to that point. Hope everybody is starting the new year off happy and healthy! :peace::weed:

also, the 4th plant missing from the first pic is under a different light as it took longer to pop, is less developed, and isn't liking the intensity of the HLG quite yet. She got pretty sad in there after transplant and has perked up significantly under some HO floors. She'll be going back in the tent in a day or two.

promix doesnt need a lot of watering let them dry out maybe top them and a little lst flip at about 15 inches and you will fill up the whole space easy

Currently they need water every 2 days. The little one sometime a bit more. I am actually more worried about overcrowding the space. I used to fill a 3x3 wall to wall with a single plant... lol

Couple days and the much anticipated arrival of the super runt into the tent! Growth is still vigorous, pheno #1 in particular is a little beast. Feeding at 960 ppm and they have shown zero signs of stress, toxicity, or burn. Kind of an experiment based on some methods used by some great growers on this site. We'll see if I end up having to back off on that or not.

As long as you get some runoff here and there,if you let it dry too much thats when it needs a little flush.
