How many plants in a tent

[ganjygav]

Ello everyone,
I'm making this thread because for the life of me I can't seem to get as many plants in my tent as others.
I'm in 1.5x1.5 meter tent,I have 5 plants in there and it seems cramped. All I did was grow these from seeds for 4 weeks before bloom and topped them once.

Can plants get stressed from being too close together?

How many plants do any of you tent user's get in?
Here's a picture of mine from last night, are they cramped or am I flapping over nothing?

They look like they've got loads of room to me gav.
I prefer to do 9 in a tent with little to no veg time but from clone.(dripped coco)
With dwc I have 4 per tent with similar results at the end.
Seed plants are always going to be unknown to a certain extent, how long they stretch for etc..it's then down to the grower to use training techniques to enable each plant to get equal light.
Your plants look happy and coming into flower so I guess they'll do another 2 weeks growing yet?
If they were mine id be trying to level out the canopy a bit and filling in those gaps,either by bending over the tall ones or raising the pots of the low ones..
Or
Just leave them and enjoy.

as many as I can get in there without any being in a constant shadow. tall plants on the outside short ones in the middle like a bowl. plants don't get stressed from touching each other. when the leaf senses an obstruction the plant grows up instead of out. as long as the leaves aren't constantly pressed against the walls (mold issues) I let it ride.

Yeah the trouble I have is I take them out to water, I just find it easier. They are 17-18 days into 12/12 so I'm hoping they stop stretching soon. I thought about bending the tops over but there ain't room. One of them was super cropped in veg and it still stands 4ft tall and 2ft wide. That photo is crap,I take them from mobile phone.
Yeah I think I will prop up the short ones. I'm definitely just going with clones next grow to make it easier on myself.
