Hey all,
Checking in again at 5 weeks veg. I think I'm starting to run into the problem I've been waiting for - space. At the start of this evolution, I popped too many seeds thinking I might kill a couple or a couple might not germinate. I ended up with 9 seedlings in a 3.5 x 4.5 ft. closet. So I am running into limitations with my space's footprint, I think.
The girls have taken off in the last week - they are now 13" to 19" tall now, with only the Applejack being a runt at 9". The leaves are getting into each other and into the walls now. I have a little space to spread them out - see pics. The left hand side of the closet has a deep v shaped recess that I've been blocking off with the screen I was going to SCROG with covered with a mylar space blanket. That can be removed, for sure. The distance from the right wall to the orange extension cord in pic 3 is 4.5', then the v goes in another 4.5' on a 45* angle, roughly.
Pic 1 - shot from above straight down
Pic 2 - right side margin to wall
Pic 3 - left side margin with v unblocked
pic 4 - all 9 ladies as they sit now
I guess I have 4 questions at this point, and I'd really appreciate your opinions on them:
1 - should I go ahead to flower at this point, as room is so scarce?
2 - am I going to have to get rid of any plants to finish this off?
3 - is there anything I can do to them now to maximize the space?
4 - should I raise the light up to 20" or so to try and encourage some stretch?
As always, thanks for taking the time.
GREEN MOJO TO ALL!
