Thx!
Turned out far better than expected. Plants were out of control and I had an hard time cutting and training to use nets.

I'll update with newer pics

I bet. That's a small tent for that many plants. I plan on doing 1 plant 2x2 scrog in a 2.5x2.5 tent. Or would 2 plants be better?

In a 2x2 i grown from 1 plant up to 5.
Imho go for 1

Wow! I'm surprised how close you had them to the plants. You didn't experience any light stress?

You could do what I did. Start 5 and just cull down to 1! Then again, I was using bagseed, so the cost of seeds wasn't an issue.

Yeah, mine are feminised bought seeds.

He's running them very soft (he said 120/150 watt total) so close is great.
Start running them at 1A or higher they need a bit more distance.

When I let mine get 6 to 8 inches from strips they eventually developed
a bit of light stress, including a bit of late bloom foxtailing.

Interesting. I think I actually got a bit of light stress and foxtailing in a similar space with my 250w of Cree strips, despite having them close to the top of the tent. I wonder if I would have had better results running them softer. I will definitely have to try running them softer next time.
