I would look into using a different soil in future. You're in Canada, so I don't know if Fox Farm soil is available where you are, but if it is then definitely look into that since everything I've read says it's one of the best available. Particularly Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil if you can find it. I have no experience of it, just second hand recommendations.
By the way, if you're going to be running the number of plants you're going to be growing, SCROG won't be possible. Ideally SCROG would involve just 3-4 plants in a space such as yours, preferrably all the same strain (preferrably clones). In future you should keep mother plants so you can use lots of identical clones of the same plant and this allows you a very uniform harvest and higher yield. This can only be done after you've harvested and smoked all your buds from all the different plants, so a) you can decide which is your favourite strain and b) your favourite phenotype within that strain. The most efficient way to keep a mum is to bonsai the plant, meaning that single plant will take up just 8" x 8". You can set up a shelf in the grow room on the wall with small CFLs just to keep it ticking over.
If you want to train your plants I would recommend just supercropping them and/or topping them. The main aim of the grow should, as above, be to just get that keeper mum, so that in future grows you can focus on performance/yield by cutting down the vegetative period and having a uniform canopy.
If I were you, just for interest's sake, or even just posterity, I would for the hell of it order those seeds available from Health Canada. Apparently the strain is actually not that bad. It's only that they don't know how to grow and instead of drying and curing it properly they just throw all the buds untrimmed into a mill and shred it all up so that what results is just crappy shake. It's actually quite pathetic really. I guess people won't learn after communism that the government can't do shit properly. Ever heard of a Lada car? Probably the worst car in existence. Imagine a goverment shoe shop? Same with government weed. It's shite.
Health Canada strain not so bad:
Problem is they turn it into this shwag:
