Man they look great. I just finished a blueberry grow. Great smoke.
Ya know, looks to me like you should move some more air in that closet. Maybe take off the lowest set of branches and any leaf thats touching the soil. Then get some 4" fans and point them up under the canopy. That way you can circulate the air and grow fatter buds.

Oh yea. I have done this a few times if you care to read my cabinet journals links below.
The lower stuff really is not worth keeping. By removing it you achieve three things, one is the plant will now send all its available nutrients to the upper branches where it can do the most good and second, you now can curculate the co2 from the bottom of the cab to the top and the bonus is you have a bunch of cuttings you can clone. My favorite part.

I cut the lower stuff and add fans, take the cutting and start them rooting. Wait a week then top each one, wait another week and flip to 12/12 at that point any lower stuff I cant train to get some light I would remove. Then you done, let the buds grow while you veg the next round.

That's good. see in the second picture the penetration of the light?

Now figure when you flip to 12/12 the plants will finish about twice that height.
If you don't have the room then you should top before flipping to flower.

My opinion is you have too many plants in there but as long as you keep air flowing it will be ok.
Deal is plants will grow to the size of the area, Like you will get the same amount out of 4 plants in a 3x3 area as you would six if you let them grow veg long enough. Your ready to flower now with that amount of plants in that space. If it gets too crowded you can always pull a couple.

Lowryder? I thought it was blueberry. Anyways yea, I missed the 12/12 in the title. If they were auto flowering plants they would have shown flowers by now. I have had several grows in a small space like that, use several different lights, thats what helps determine yield. With a 400 watt in there I would say you will get 4 to 6 oz's

Ya know, its not really the amount of plants, its the space they have to grow and the amount of wattage of the light that makes the difference. I don't know what light you are using or how big the space is. I have had about a dozen grows in a 2x4 foot space with 400w and that was about what I would get so that's how I came up with that number. My opinion, Max yield for the lot would be about 8 oz's with 400w.

Oh, then my guess would be a bit higher. I have seen people pull 12 to 16 with a screen. (scrog style)
i would be more then happy with 8 i just want nice smoke really.. next time im only got do 4 i think in a wilma set up or 1 in a dwc im not sure yet havnt decided maybe make a thread see what would be more beneficial
