Set up is :
2x4x5 tent
1x 400w full spectrum LED panel
1x 300w full spectrum LED panel
Carbon filter
4" 195cfm fan
2x 6" fans for air circulation

Need a second opinion.
In my 2x4x5 tent that has 6 Obama kush plants from seed.
I thought I'd get a male so I planted the six, turns out they are all female. I don't wanna pull them.
This is day 39 from seed
It's getting crowded in there.
What should I do just flower them, switch the tent, scrog?

The first rule in growing is just because you have 6 ,females.Does not mean that you have to do 6 plants,i would have picked the best out of them,and grown them out ,Then either kept the other best one, out the ones you was not going to use, and ditch the rest or sell them on.

Scrog them just take all the bottom growth of that will get no light and you should do ok,but for future sometimes less is more.

Also I ment day 30 all together I haven't switched to flower yet.
These seeds popped on June 1st
2x4' with 6 is hella tight vegged like that. 3 is tight from my experience. If you keep them and begin flower I'd chop all lower branches and leave 8 main branches from each plant max. Which is still too much.

There's many many more led companies. But 90% are all the same China made cheap epistar LEDs that are worse than HPS/mh lights.

The lights I linked are known to grow around 2 grams per watt in skilled hands.

Meow Rich420710 ..... I saw you mentioned gifting a few to a patient......good karma. I'd do it.
With that being said I'm more compassion than profit.
Hey meowmeowmeow,
I fully agree with you, I was going to gift 2 plants. T he other patient needs some basic things so i told them when they are ready I'd be happy to give them, kinda just waiting on them. Idk if they are for sure or not though.

The links are LEDs.
If you can DIY contact artificial sun specialty or look at the timber kits. If you want built look at timber grow lights or northern grow lights.

Northern grow lights has the photon 180s with clu 058 and dimmable. You could crush your 3x3 with 2-3 of them! That's half of what you were gonna spend on a light that's junk.

That zenlion is fucking junk

I really don't want junk, I thought I found a great deal. Oh well goes to show what I really know about leds for growing.
If I'm gonna spend that much I do want something that lasts and qaulity. Looking at the made sets now. I'm not the diy kinda guy as far as lights go anyways.
I have 2000 to spend on qaulity lights that will last.
