Well I'm stuck with a dilemma.

I have a 4.5x4.5 space tented with Black/White poly.
It is illuminated by a 600w HPS overhead, and 2 T5 panels on one side wall, and ringed by clamp lamps holding dual CFL's, underlit by T12 strips. Well lit canopy with some light hitting every area of the plant

My plants are rotated 90 degrees once a day, and rotated into a new position in a 3x3 grid (I have 9 plants)

Vented by a box fan hanging from bungie cords inside the tented area, and a box fan on the outside blowing on the entrance. The plants are well fanned and ventilated, they have hugely thick stalks (bigger than my thumb).

I am in week 5 of flower (I go 10-12 weeks from the flip date with most all my plants) and I believe that I am out of space (again) I know it happens to alot of people.

This is the second time with this batch that I have expanded my grow area and I am at the max that my light will reach, and no more space to expand my tenting. Each time I have expanded my space my plants have grown into it and they are very bushy ladies with many, many DARK GREEN (lots of nitrogen, I know, I've already cut it out of my nute routine))

I need some advice on if I should do some trimming. Some of the fan leaves coming off the main stalk, and some side stems are blocking some bud sites.

My plants have had a few "issues" (small spider mite infestation, lack of N in diet due to very old nutes that resulted in very, very weak undergrowth ) nothing too big and they are all looking very healthy now.

All the main colas are 9" or length or longer, and are starting to fill in rather well. but everything below that is shaded by the colas, and main stem fan leaves.

What would you do?
