I've got 3 where rhino strains an 1 random strain growing in there, it's about halfway through veg, an holy crap they are growing into each other an i am worried the lower parts aren't recording enough light?
How can I fix this?
What are the main issues that are harmful with overcrowding?

Is this acceptable?

Also what is a decent grow box setup where I can grow a decent amount of plants an not worry about overcrowding?

Like the box has 6 slots but its like "For what?!"
Because you can barely get 4 in there without overcrowding.
Where's a good place to look up for setup a for bubbleponics an stuff?

hey you know when you turn to flower 12/12 then the plant's why get 2 times or 3 times as big as they are right now in veg's ? if not now you know :)

and you can maybe make a scrog net ? and even the cannabis out of you have the space to it ? :)

i do not understand what you mean by overcrowding `?:wtf:

I will post a picture, but my grow box is a stealth hydro system, an I've got 4 out of 6 spots used up.

An they are beginning to have leaves hitting other plants, it's just really crowded.
I forgot they double in size in flowering, thanks for reminding me.
I was thinking of ways to grow them, without overcrowding, or maybe ill just let them grow if it doesn't harm them.

I was looking at defoliating an if that may help but I have no idea where to start I know nothing about defoliating as this is my first grow...

This is what in talking about.
Should I start defoliating them?
Take leaves off? Pruning ?
I read several articles but I am not sure as to which leaves are safe to rip off...

Update********

I decided they were 35 days into Vegetative stage I would prune them.

Here's the amount I pruned off of them.
Only bad leaves, or ones that were way to big an restricting light to other lower bud sites.
Just tried to get more light to the entirety of the plant more or less.

This is kind of a common problem, where the grower underestimates the power of hydro. Even in a soil grow they need space to grow.
