Too little space to get spaced?

[Awg52]

Have I got greedy putting 3 plants in this space? It’s day 40 (I think) and they’re hella bushy, anyone suggest anything to maximise lit penetration/space? I’ve LST’d them to an extent and also topped them

I would clear any dense groups of branches and fan leaves that are spindly and or not meeting the rest of the canopy.

You will likely have to substantially defoliate as they flower out. Treat it like a SoG. HTH, IMHO, YMMV, etc

Just because I’m different, it seems, I’d let them do what they want. I think plants are smarter than me.

I think you need to defol for the ventilation and airflow, its looking like a small enclosed space so air movement is very important imo

+1 on keeping the air moving through the canopy. As long as you do that, the plants should be fine, it will just take more trimming than if they had more room. In my limited experience, healthy plants don't mind a haircut once in a while.

Good luck with it.
