with 5 plants, let's guess that you'll have 2 females. you can clone for sex or whatnot.

so with 2 females you could pull a scrog but it would be a waste because they would fill the screen very fast (unless you put them through a horizontal screen that then went vertical up the rest of the height of your cab or something). so 5 in a scrog is out of the question.

the scrog will start at what height you set the screen. or you can make an adjustable one.

if more than that are female then you should LST them. if you go with LST i would let them get a bit bigger first. then just bend them over 90 degrees near the base (water at least 1 hour prior, prefferebly a day prior) and tie them down. use string or landscaping wire....anything that works.

this will re-route the growth hormone from the main cola to the other nodes and they will start to grow up. now you will have many colas. you can combine this with topping or other methods. you can top with the scrog too.

you should finish LSTing at least 2 weeks prior to flower.

hope this helps.
