So I’m the same way. If I smoke the same thing everyday loses effect. So couple tips on what you mentioned. To address different pheno heights I would flower at a consistent height. Usually 10-12” for me. And I keep my lights at a constant level. They never move. Taller plants have room to grow up and I have so much light, 2x200watt LED, in my 2x4 that shorter plants still have plenty of light they don’t lose out on anything. This really helps me just let plants stretch.
Other thing you can do is use a net but don’t really scrog. Place it about 18” above the pots. Let the plant vertically grow up through the net and use this to replace stakes. Then when it’s time to chop you just remove that plant from the net easily and slide the new one underneath.
If you look at my journal there’s kind of an example. Short Sfv in one corner and taller plants all around. And they just grow up through the net. They’re not worked into or anything.
