Although im not a fan of those type of LED you have around 400 true watts and that is more than enough for 2x4.
I would concentrate on training them outward rather than up because 4ft of height is very low.
If everything goes smooth you should have great results. But if not its all part of the learning process.
Good luck fella

What would you suggest, to train them outwards?
Yes working with small space here. Luckily I can modify space. Would I have to add more light if I go heigher or bigger?

Your light is fine for the foot print you have, it would be fine with more height and still fine up to 3x3ft space. Much bigger and you would probably want more light.
As far as training goes I like to top for 4 colas and then allow those to grow 6-9" and then super crop them low down to bring all 4 colas horizontal, then your nodes will have a bit more veg and if you want you can bend the branches around to fill your space more and flip to flower.
Its all about filling your canopy really, there are many ways to do it and 4 plants in a 2x4 will fill it up in no time.
But this would keep everything low profile so your not having issues with plants stretching past your light or too close to it.

Thanks for the advice. I have been looking into it, doesn’t seem to hard to do. When you say Top for four colas?
Can you top and low stress train all together?
I was thinking of topping at a certain height, and letting it grow like that, instead of up. My understating is once you top it doesn’t grow up but actually swells?

Hey Guys. Update Week 8.
2 plants topped. 2 using LST technique.
Watering, feeding etc.
I’m now in a pickle and I hope some one can confirm this issue. I have not found bugs or webbing etc...
Thanks in advance.
Attempts to remedy:
Nutes halfed, still feeding.
Light to plant 26” ( did get impatient and got em as close as 18”)

Your first 3 pics look just fine. It appears you've had a bug come in and grab a little lunch; nothing really to worry about, as long as it's an intermittent thing and you don't see signs of an infestation. I can tell you from experience palmetto bugs, roaches, what ever you call them in your area, will indeed do this sort of damage, though it's very sporadic and generally a one off situation. The last pic is the one that would have my attention and if I'm guessing this is the plant in the top right of the picture showing all 4 of your girls. It's a little difficult to tell, but it appears a little on the yellow side, and the leaves are starting to show some deficiency. Maybe you can confirm with additional pics. Otherwise, your grow is looking nice.

Thank you.
Added some sticky pads and something for the bugs as well, mixed in water.

Thanks for the advice, on grow space. About two weeks of flowering now. Still in 2x4, just like you said 2 plants max. Really sucked killing my other girls for space. All is well. How’s everything on your side.
Did go with Mylar and fabric pots. And lst technique, is amazing!
