One light, multiple plants

Okay so we all know MJ like to grow towards the light, and moving the plants around or spinning them can cause stress and curly leafs. But if I leave them all in the same place wont they all just stretch and fight for more light or what.

Heres a pic of my set up, if I were to keep them in the place they are for the entire grow would it be a bad idea or what?
I didnt wanna scrog because I it takes a long time for my plants to recover from the fimming / topping.

Any ideas are appreciated, basically, how do I grow a lot of decent plants in a 2x3 area with 400w?
Thanks

yes and no. they'll grow if they don't die, but they won't die if you rotate/move them

you need to learn patience. they grow after topping, but watching them doesn't make the grass grow faster. a watched pot never boils...

follow directions, don't love them to death, let them be. it's a weed, it'll grow if you let it.

pretend it's a house plant. how often do you tend those?

The spinning leaf thing is just what I heard and non have spinned since Ive stopped moving them around so...

And I know it takes a while for new growth to show it just doesnt look good on the tops, and I topped a different plant a while ago that recovered with new growth within 2 or 3 days. Ill check out how this FIM turns out and make me decision then.

I see people growing a lot of plants in a small area and I was just wondering how they dont fuck up.
Ill probably just end up doing scrog since I only have the one light.


For a set up like this, what would you suggest me do? Multiple small plants or one or two bigger ones?
I just thought multiple small ones could be better so that a way I the light can get to the bottom branches easier.

i saw the pix, they looked fine. sometimes they take a week to start blowing up again, but generally because they have multiple new tops (fim).

i personally would grow one big bush (netted or scrogged) in a 2x3. however, you can go multi plant, just flower earlier (force flower or 12/12 from seed if more than 12). a bigger plant can be lolipopped and produce 4-12oz on a 400w (hps, can't say for other).
