Enough space between plants

I have 7 plants in my grow closet this time around but i am wondering if i have over done it and put too many in the space i have.
The grow box i am using (pictures attatched) is 12" deap by 18" across and 32" wide.
What do you guys think?.
Will they be alright or do i need to prune them as we go?
i have them in a closet grow and they are under a 400 watt HPS light.
any advice greatly recieved.

I would say your space issues depend on the size you want each of the plants to be. You will be restricted and should probably trim as you go, maybe use scrog or something simular...but sounds like you have a little previous experience...draw upon that and Good Luck!

Are you alrady flowering?if not flip the lights... if your already flowering you might be fine if not you'll more than likely need to prune but try and see what happens=)

yeah maybe wait and kill the males then you should have room

Three days into 12/12 and looking to be all fems. I will be trimming the fan leaves as i go. I think i will just let them go and hope they all come through.
more pics as we get bigger.
cheers guys.

cheers man. congratulations for da femes.

thanks man,
i have been so lucky the past three grows have all turned out to be fems.
not sure wether to start pruning the fan leaves or just leave them for a while.

The girls will grow to fill available space. I wouldn't worry too much about it,at worst you have a sea of green.

22 days on 12/12 and they look to be doing ok. lots of flowers and bud sites and they seem to be settleing in together nicely. should get a good crop concidering the size they were when i changed the light cycle.
any comments recieved. with thanks....

Looks great man well done ,

They usually do make room for them selfs. my Grow very similar

I see you,v some fan leafs still did you chop any like you says or did you just leave them
I personally dont like to but with some indica,s its sometimes needed ,

I read in a mag last month of this guy that cuts all leafs off the last 2 weeks then flushes before they finish and they looked great Im going 2 try it on one of mines

Very nice plants man , well done s2k

nice one, you have a similer sized box to me and i have 4, 4 foot plus plants in mine and I think i over done mine. So im very intrested how you get on dude. Reckon ill grow more smaller plants next grow, thats if the fem fairy is good to me with the seeds i just bought lol

same setup also, i have ten but im pretty sure i have some males, but i started flowering 3 days after they got out of the seedling stage. i decided to only cut the blades that are overlapping instead of the leaf. the more leaves the plant has the faster it will grow, more places for photosynthesis to occur. keep us updated

thanks man,
i am very happy with the way they have turned out. I have been taking some fan leaves off but i too dont like to do this. But i needed to so the lower flowers can get the max amount of light.
It has not made any differance so far.
thats severn plants in an area 32 inch by 18 inch and a foot depth.

Nice work man, Keep it up!

How big were they when you started to flower?

and

How big are they now?

and

How big do you think they will get till ready to chop down and smoke?

they were all about 10 inch tall when i switched to 12/12. And they are now around 22inch tall. I am feeding with vitalink grow, bloom and buddy. With water that has stood for 48 hrs or so.
i hope to harvest in about 5 weeks, maybe less. and i would think they would be around 3ft tall by then.

Well, i harvested some of the plants today from this grow and i am very happy with the results. Big fat sticky colas and plenty of smaller buds from a plant of this size. All the plants are 24" tall and have 10" center colas.
I have left two of the biggest plants to mature a little longer now they have more light getting to the lower bud sites. They are starting to shoot fox tails from the center colas and thickening up nicely. cant wait to chop those but i must be patient.
cant be sure about dry weight but it should be pretty good. maybe an oz per plant. i dont know.
Gave the plants 12 days flushing with tap water left to breath for a few days. I did not bother ending with the dark period, not sure if that helps. but i may concider it for the last two plants.
strain: 7 white widows

amazing stuff! well done

great job enjoy
