Yeah the thing is, i think i vegged them for too long. When the tent is closed, some of the tops hit the wall all the time and same for the fan leaves. I think they are too big and like you said they want more space. Def gonna veg for a week less next tiMe.
5x5 grow 4 plants? Whats the yield looking like?

I grow ground floor its hot even with ac but with my own portable ac in there I can control it. It messes with rh a little but it works.
Wish i had a bigger tent lol.. im thinking of doing a heavy pruning or removing alot of leaves to help with air flow. But they are in week 3 and i dont like touching them at this time..

Sick looking setup. Really clean.

30cm is a foot, which is plenty for a bar light.
Mine are currently about 6" away.
You've got plenty of room. Crank up your light

Couldn't even guess.
We don't know how that strain is going to bulk out.. might be airy, might be rock hard.
It's hard to picture or predict at this point and having your kight dimmed is gonna cost you weight.
After reading this i just turned it to 100%

Genetics is it, was trying to way a pound is very possible tho as I did that easily. If some of those are different strains not meant to yield heavy then could be less. Ive had those more often and with herms is what I tend to get. edit sorry two pounds.

I edited my post to say 2 pounds, my bad.

2 pounds is the most Ive had in that space, would have to be something that can beat that. I havent ran many strains I settled quick so I can get to earning some money back. Soon will look for more soon but Id say about that is do able as Ive done it. You say you have a runt tho which wont help. So 900gs?
People usually dont try to guess but I try to, what else is there to do while waiting for trim jail? Lol.

900g would be a dream to me. I always lowball my yields, so when i trim and weight it. I can have a nice surprise for myself. But you would say close to 900?

I try to expect less tho so Im not bummed out at harvest time like this last tent I just did. I was steadily doing better so was surprised. I knew it was going to be light but not this light. I was like, well I had a 3oz clone, this looks about double that, so 6? Nope, 4.5oz and 5.5oz roughly.
So yea even if it was days from harvest we just dont know. I like to guess because Im usually pretty close but wow this harvest sucks so far. Haha yea basically, just saw your last comment as I finished typing this up.
So yea if all goes well and its decent strain/breeder in the yield department. If it just looks like bud everywhere its a good sign. My last run was 7oz plants but I did not think they were as I grew them. Looks are decieving.

Expect nothing. That way when you get something you'll be happy. I've found this helps with a lot of diffrent things in life.
Moosethegoose has a point. Thats a good tip for overall life.
I always expect less too so i dont get bummed out, when im weighting the stuff. I have my fingers crossed that its gonna be over 600g this time.
If you give your plants enough light, you should at least meet the seed seller's estimates for yield.
It's almost impossible to cause damage to a cannabis plant with an LED grow light. In four years on three cannabis sites, I've only seen it once. It is quite possible to give plants too much light and, if you do, the plant give you a clear indication within about 30 minutes. If that happens, raise the light and inch or two and you should be good.
Insofar as the plant is concerned, there is no reason to increase light levels slowly unless you're near the light saturation point which is roughly 800-1000µmol in ambient CO2, assuming that light is the limiting factor. By about week 5, a cannabis plant has matured to the point where it can process that level of light.
Given a grow that's at, say, 600µmol and is in flower, it's completely reasonable to increase the light levels to 750 and then 900 and then 1k in a few days.
Photosynthesis is an ongoing process and if the plant is getting too much light, it will curl up the edges of the leaves closest to the light. That's called "tacoing" or "canoeing". Another reaction is for the leaves to rotate around the petiole in the same way that a Venetian blind opens and closes.
It does not take days for a plant to adjust to a bump in PPFD. If I had to bump up the PPFD, I'd jump it by 150, check the plant after 30 minutes and, if all's well, check the plant again after 30 minutes and then check it later in the day.
If there's an issue, just raise the light an inch or two or drop the dimmer 10%. It's no big deal if that happens.
I give my plants a bit too much light in early veg I almost ever grow. That happens because I grow in high light (1000µmol by about day 35). When I increase light levels, I'll add, say, 100µmol and then check at 30 and 60 minutes. Sometimes it's too high so I drop back to the previous settings and wait a day or two.
Below is the text from my grow journal for my most recent grow. Note the entry at 9:41 AM. 708µmol was too high so I dropped the PPFD for one plant to 698 and to 634 for the other. This entry is from day 23.
23=day number
3.2=week.day
420PPM (yeh, I use PPM)
60=pH
698 and 634 = PPFD
60 and 55=DLI
Start and End values are runtime for my pH doser.
65 is the water level
I use an Apogee and measure light levels daily (when appropriate)
