overgrowth!

So I'm growing 33 god bud plants in the aeroflo 36, and now they are halfway through there first full veg week and they are growing on top of eachother? Any opinions on what people do with their aeroflos? should I have staggered the plants and just gone with 18? Should I prune the bottom branchs that won't see any light in a few weeks and will end up dying or should I prune the top leaves so the bottom ones get more light? kind of an expected problem but all in all, not really a problem as they are growing vigirously

You want to do as little pruning as possible IMO, try to bend the top leaves around to increase light penetration and maybe cut a few of the fingers off of some leaves but leave the majority on there. I'd think next time try fewer plants and experiment till you find something that you're comfortable with.

I think you should never have plant sites that close if you plan on flowering them there. you should only need about 6 plants in a space that size, or 6-18 if you plan on flowering immediately after they take root.
