Is this too many plants for this tent

They probably pictured same thing I did, just too easy to over crowd but when I saw your pics theyre doing great.

So I would say its possible, typically when people try to do more than 4 plants in a 2x2 or even 1 they fail if the plant gets too big and wait too long to do anything about it.

Yes small plants can work, youre demonstrating it! Nice job! I failed at a over grown 2x2 my first few grows.

If you want to likely succeed again I would learn cloning and take clones and run one strain at a time 9 plants like youre doing.

You took hella risks not gonna lie thats what were trying to say lol. Lots of people here never grown in a small space. I did, I get 2.5oz per 2x2 and 5-7oz or more in a 2.5x2.5 thats at least 6.5 feet tall.

Theres people who yielded 8oz or more in a 2x2 but strain is likely why and experience. Id rather use that same strain in my larger tents with better light while still not over crowding.
"doing great" - Per a former President, it depends on what your definition of "is" is. Crop yield is the number of grams of flower. "crop quality" can be defined as the ratio of the mass of flower to the above ground mass. There's a lot of plant material in there but the amount of flower will be modest.

Per the photo on the right, the plants are very tall with very slender stems, a small number of large leaves, and signficant internodal space. When those plants are harvested, there will be a lot of above ground mass but not a lot of flower. It appears that that those plants aren't getting enough light to grow a lot of flowers.

One plant getting 100% of the photons would be shorter with a large number of small leaves and a large number of branches with many nodes on each branch. When a small light is shared by nine plants, they all suffer.

They are healthy but yield will be modest.

For the next grow, a more productive approach would be to grow one or two plants.

How do you grow and get shorter internodal space I’ve had this issue.

Keeping lights where they need to be. Genetics, sativa genetics have long node spacing. I just lst or super crop those maybe scrog.

I thought my current run would be shitty because clones over grew and super cropped them in half. Its my most beautiful run! I think scrogging too flat is real.

Colas need be able to have running colas reaching for light. More yield I think, looking back my last run was too flat. Could of done the described, veg an extra week.

Why do they even stretch? Just seems like a burden but thats indoors. I learned recently they stretch to place buds in the best spot of sunlight above its surroundings.

I thought that was cool. Could be wrong but idk why else they can tripple in size but growing indoors that being such a burdon sometimes made me wonder.
