grow tent spacing

[gro]

im flowering 5 christmas tree shaped plants in a 4x4 and it is impossible to position them so that their leaves dont touch or that a few leaves dont touch outside of tent. SO IM WONDERING IF ITS OKAY FOR LEAVES TO TOUCH WALLS OF THE TENT? I CANT LOLIPOP OR PRUNE THEM

is it serious if they touch walls. im running a 420cfm inline neg pressure

That's fine. It's not ideal, but it's ok. Having an odd# of plants in a tent gets tricky.

The problem when it starts getting crowded is stretch. When lower branches/leaves arent' getting light they want to stretch up and get some, making the problem even worse. It's funny how a more crowded tent seams to get out of control rather quickly, at least in my experiences.

Why can't you lollipop or prune them? Because that would be my advice; lollipop them.

It's not my favorite method, and it's more suited for a bunch of smaller plants a la SOG style, but in a situation like yours, it might make sense.

I'm assuming you don't have a seperate veg space? If you did I would say lollipop them by taking a bunch of clones from the lower branches. Then you'd take care of your space issue and have a batch of clones to start veging/pick out a mother.

Any leaves touching the tent you can snip off,, slowly since their flowering, two or three leaves of each plant every day until nothing is touching the walls, it won't do em any harm, in my opinion it's good for em, goodluck.
