My 1st grow is going sideways. I wave not figured out a way to tie down for LST I put a Scrog on top but the nodes are so close together there is no room. There is just a huge mass of leaves. I have been trying to expose potential cola sights. I have to face the fact that I haven’t a clue and I’m trying to use common sense. Maybe I’m lacking, but I an also noy ready to give up. I have some lead weights on tie-down wire to help pull down the main top I removed the SCroG
You can drill holes in the tops of the pot and use plant ties. I’m running a scrog and you have to just cut some branches off. I keep the best growing ones. Here’s mine
Still too small to do anything with a SCROG IMO. This value is WAY too high and much higher than the grow schedule calls for. You are at TRIPLE the nutrient load I used at that size. You WILL burn your plants. I see signs of issues that make me think you may have some root problems too.
How about filling this out and being as complete as possible? Please don’t tell us you have lights. Tell us what lights, etc.

Yes you can. It will kill any microbes, though, so if you are using beneficial microbes (i.e. Hydroguard) it will render it useless.
As for the tight nodes and lack of training options as a result… I think I would need some more pics. Generally if I don’t like the height on my plants I just let them grow taller and remove lower branches that will end up be larf/in the dark. If all the plants are the uniform in their growth, no reason you can’t run a low SCROG on them. Can you take a pic of the whole setup at once?
When I was growing in buckets I fashioned hooks to the buckets themselves (in my case on the lid, but in your case maybe you could do it on the upper lip of the buckets), and then just used some garden tie down material (like bread ties) to tie down branches.
Basically I just installed a PVC frame around them from old parts I used for SCROGs in the past and tied the plants down to the frame… if I need to, I can string up a net on the frame for further training.
Basic ebb and flow with 5" square pots on a 3x3 inside diameter tray over a 40 gallon reservoir. Flooding 15 minutes every 2 hours with lights on currently. To keep light out of the tray I just taped some panda film over the top of the tray and cut Xs in it big enough to hold the pots.
