Just busting chops man like other these other guys say it’s hard to guesse a yield from someone’s post Imo it looks like it’s reaching for light unless Sativa Genes r prominent but I’m no expert ..just ride it out what you get is what you get deff better then nothing !!!!

You need 40.3w Sq/ft of the very best LED Diodes ie Samsung/Osram.
If one uses HID, one needs 62.5w Sq/ft
Those lights you have will never do your plants justice.
Yield depends on Genetics, light energy, airflow, and root space. Not to mention the grower.
One only needs a few things to grow good weed.
Genetics, strong light, plenty of Airflow, and knowing when, and how much, to feed, and water.
Thats it. Deviate from the basics, and the plants will suffer accordingly.
Remember 40.3w-Sq/ft LED. Best Diodes only
62.5w Sq/ft. Hortilux HPS 1000w in a 4 x 4

Id bend/tie that tall plant way over, and bring the light(s) WAY WAY down on top of the plants. 5 inches max. Id bring anything from the sides in as close as possible, or hang them over the tops of the plants. I veg/seedlings with 1000w HID. Bending will maximize your light for your space. Bend that sucker over, get the lights closer. Keep a slight breeze on them. Keep temps 78f-82f at the canopy.

What do you mean bend/tie the big plant?

The tallest, stretchy plant I would bend over and force it to grow Horizontally vs vertical
Bending Marijuana
Carefully pull down the branches of your cannabis plant, or the whole plant, tie them down. You are now forcing them to grow horizontally. The nodes will start producing branches or buds that grow straight up. Bending should be done gradually to avoid pinching or snapping the stem. Use soft hemp string or cloth to secure the branch or stem loosely when tying down to minimize damage to the soft stems. Growth is slowed for awhile as the cannabis plant adjusts to the shock of being bent. This is a good technique to maximize space in a small grow room.

Id pull it over as far as it will go. Then get the light closer to all of them.
Really, you need a good light. All your doing is wasting your time. By 20 days you should already see flowers forming, and the plants should have had a huge growth spurt.
I am trying to help you, and you not waste your time, money, physical, and mental effort.
There's simply no getting around light energy.
Also I dont claim to know everything, but I have ben growing using HID for almost 45 years. LED about 1 year-Gavita 1700e.
Ive vegged, and flowered with 2100k for 25 years. Hortilux 1000w HPS, and was the industry standard for 30 years. Gavita DE 1150w HID is also 2100k.
Highest PAR rated HID are 2100k.

You want your canopy flat.
The one at the back hasn't been seen to yet but it's going to get flattened today/tomorrow.

Gotta have 40w sq/ft LED to equal HID/Hortilux HPS.
At this point I use the LED for Veg, and havent used it yet for flowering. Works well in veg. I dont think LED grows weed any better than HID.

I bought a dimmable 240w led in 4k specifically for vegging, in theory it would cover from seedlings right through to ready for flower.
When I plugged it in I couldn't get over how bright it was and the white light is appealing for veg, everything was looking promising.
I tried it out and bleached the plants, that meant that I had to turn it down below 50% which would be ok until autumn turns into winter
anything under 50% and I can't get enough heat even in a clone tent lol so it's back to T5s, cfl and mh.Over the weekend I put my clone tent inside my 5x5 to help the temps, any port in a storm as they say lol

The fact that someone asks this question means they know SFA. That means no one could possibly guess how bad you will fuck it up or if you are a passionate student, how well you will do.
