A questions for the groweres who have done a DWC grow! Pic included for question!

Alright guys Heres the question i wanted to know how long i should veg my plants with the amount of space i have between each plant. Theres about 2.5 inches between each net pot. By what you guys see on the pic, just tell me whats up! thnx

not long, things will get crowded really quick, I'd try to bend em over the side as much as possible to give each girl some room to breath
