I been trying to get this ? answered on other threads but no luck so I'll try here... I have six fem. skunks in a room approx. 4x5 they are under a 400watt hps about 2 weeks into flower. They are getting very big and bushy and starting to crowd each other and into the walls... should I get rid of a couple of the smaller ones and give the bigger ones more room or just let them grow as is till the end? I was told this strain gets pretty big, I don,t know if there is a general rule as far as space,I just want to optimize my yield... Any input would be helpful ....thanks
Grow room too crowded?

can you show a picture? you can lollipop them and tuck them together and can harvest quite nicely...otherwise yeah if there are laggers in there, may want to pull them to yield higher on the bigger plants.
Peace
i must be honest i cant tell you the best thing to do, but i had the same prob, i veged too long, and 2 weeks into flowering they were huge !! i removed allot of the fan leaves (i read on a thread, that its ok to remove the leaves aslong as you dont take off more than 50% of them) other than that i just let them do there thing and it turned out fine, could have been better but i still got a lot of bud !!

I would suggest not to remove fan leaves unless they are dead.
You can cut out the bottom branches to reduce the width of the plant and to force it to grow up instead of out.
