I'll have to respectfully disagree with those that say you won't have room. Those are small plants that have been defoliated and are flowering. They are not going to get real big and will stretch up rather than spread out. With the spacing and size of the plants you should have plenty of room. If those plants were still vegging and were not already a couple weeks into flowering then you would easily outgrow that space. But those plants are not going to get a whole lot bigger than what they are now other than the buds getting bigger and filling out. Good luck.

Yep, when I said that I didn't realise they were a few weeks into flower. Definately will be good to go. I assumed they were plants starting flower yet to stretch without enlarging the pic, but then looked closer and realised I was dead wrong lol, then realised they were grown from clone, so it made far more sense. Lack of adequate comprehension due to browsing over the pic and making assumptions due to size the first time I checked.

Looks to be a good job for a new grower from clone.

Damn. I've already topped mine after a few days hoping I can keep them small this time... yours are looking nice and healthy though. Have you got a nice mix of strains going? I get very bored after a few weeks of the same smoke for sure and would love to have a bunch of strains in one tent. This time I topped after the third node instead of 4th of 5th and I'm hoping it puts a cap on growth.

You're topping your plants and wondering why they don't stay smaller. Brilliant logic...

Yep, don't need 5 ft tall plants in a tent. Topping helps promote hormone shift to promote more growth from the lower nodes and break apical dominance. I've been told my 90% of sources to top plants to keep vertical height down, and to level the canopy giving the lower branches a bit of.time to catch up . The other plant started at the same time wasnt topped, and ended up a few feet taller, and the lower buds were useless.

I've grown outdoors for years and never looked Into training as I had the vertical space available. Probably a lot of mistakes made.

If you're concerned about height LST them or supercrop them. Topping will make them wider. Plants can be large both in width and height. You didn't specify which you were concerned with.
