Will I get better yields by cutting some plants?

I have 9 plants right now in a 4x2x5 feet tent under an HLG 100 and a Viparspectra Blurple that pulls ±130 real watts. I also have another LED bulb with ±60 real watts. Temps during day are 77-80. Nighttime temps are 66-71. RH is pretty high and stays constantly between 65-75%. Ive already switched to flower and the three sativas are starting to stretch. The hybrids and indicas have not started stretching or showing preflowers. I'm going to chop all males. But if I'm left with several females, would I have better luck and higher yields with fewer plants? I have a lux meter and the edges of my tent are getting only 15,000 lumens.

Yikes, I have 3 in a 2x3x5 and she’s crowded especially with lst training, your plant will bush out quite a bit if they’re Indica or get quite tall with Sativas

You could definitely get away with if you’re very good with defoliating. I personally don’t defoliate because it’s the plants stomaches, but it is possible to defoliate and get huge buds

You filled that tent with unsexed plants? :wall:

I have two plants in the same size room. I wouldn’t do more than two, three tops. Those will double in size. Chuck at least 4 or 5 outside and clone them so you have some ready to flower when your tent batch is done and then those can flower outside. Next time buy feminized seeds so you can sleep knowing you don’t have a sausage party in your sorority house

It doesn't look bad tbh. You'll be fine after culling the males. If there's too many females, just prune and defoliate where needed
