Is my tent over crowded?

Hi guys. This is my first grow. The girls are 11 days in to flip and my tent is looking tight. I've trimmed the bottom third of the plants so I would rather not trim them anymore if I can help it. Could you have a look at the pics and tell me what you think? Many thanks in advance.

Hi how are you? with the lights on I can not tell if they are healthy but by the growth they look good. I would suggest moving them out farther to the sides, just to the point where the fan leaves get pushed up against the tent. Make damn sure you got some airflow moving all around those, I use a box fan in front of the tent flap 24/7. Since bud sites are almost already set, you can take string and tie them around the canopy like how a tomato cage looks, and that will condense your canopy a great deal, and no it wont hurt it just gives you a string ring to put stakes to, as they get bigger add a string ring on each foot of growth, or through a netting over it and scrog it out. Thanks for Growing! Peace, be safe MD.

Hi Moondance. Thanks for the reply! I have a scrog net here but d'you not think it's too late to throw it up? I would prefer this over the tomato cage method.

looks fine! but that's probably your limit. also just a little tip if you go through and pluck a majority of your fan leaves your gonna have a good time. it will increase airflow and get more light to all of your bud sites. as well as take out a lot of space for bugs to live, trust me... any leaf you take off 2 more will grow back in a week or two to replace them and it wont hurt your plant. just only take the huge big main "water or fan leaves" your plants will appreciate it.
