Small grow tent, will I run out of space?

I'm growing 3 autoflowers in a 2.3 x 2.3 x 5 grow tent from marshydro under the mars hydro ts1000light. The strains are 2 Lemon AK, and 1 AK. The 2 lemon ak have been growing an inch a day for the past week and appear to be going into flower at day 21 of growth. I didn't do any LST since this is my first grown and theses strains have a pretty short veg cycle. Do you think I'm gonna run out of vertical space with these and is there anything I can do now?20210809_161328.jpg20210809_161341.jpg20210809_161403.jpg

Same tent*, same light
* If your tent is the Mars 28"x28" it should be 6' tall not 5' (edit: my mistake, tent is 64" tall)
One NL Auto, 90 days total from sprout til chop completely filled the 28"x28" space
I had to mount the light directly to the top bar to get enough height, was ~12" from light
The only PITA was moving filter/fan outside the tent to create space.
Would have been a problem in a 5' 2x2.

LST is your friend in a small space. I’ve grown in a stealth cabinet that was 15”x26”x40”.A75664D8-4B94-4665-8D3F-229864A61CD3.jpeg
Where there’s a will there’s a way

Word! This is the tent I bought it says 2.3 x 2.3 x 5.3. I will probably end up doing the same with my light. That picture is giving me some confidence in my grow those are some beautiful frosty buds.

they're already in flower at 3 weeks so I don't want to stress them now.

I was just mentioning it for future grows and showing you can grow in basically any space.
Good idea not starting LST in flower lol.
You’ve got plenty of space for those plants

That's a cool little setup, I had originally intended to LST my plants but they're already in flower at 3 weeks so I don't want to stress them now.

Don't worry about it if they get to tall supercrop them (fracture a stalk so it grows laterally as opposed to vertical) here's an example, follow the stem up from the buds and you can see that knob structure on her stem where I fractured it (twice actually as she stood right back up LOL)
