Put a trellis in or move them to a closet?

Hey guys I popped 3 night owl foot cheeses and put them in a 3x2 tent. I was expecting to have some issues since it was my first grow so I went with more plants over less. Other than a little bit of stunting during veg (and not enough lol) they've been doing great and have filled up my tent.

Which brings me to my question. Should I leave these 3 girls in the 3x2 tent and just net train them? Or does it look like I'm going to run out of space? I can move them into a 5x2 closet but it's just flat white paint and won't have mylar like the tent. I also run the risk of my cats getting into the closet and munching on the ladies.

Info and pics:
3x Foot Cheese (Northern Cheese Haze (cheese pheno) x tyrone stomper)
Sprouted 8/20
Coming up on week 5 from seed
5 gal pots FF happy frog amended
FF trio for nutes
RO water + calmag

They're already flowering. Might be somewhat of a tight fit but not that bad. Looks like you have enough vertical space. I'd just leave them alone and flower them out where they are. I wouldn't bother with a net.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice! I have easily 3+ feet of vertical growth before I can't get my lights high enough. I'll just let them grow vertically. I might do just a little bit more training to help them grow deep and skinny. That way I can utilize the full 12"x24" space theyre growing in.

2x 100W led panels (100w true power). I actually had to dim them to stop bleaching.

I get bleaching too and it never effects the plant (bud) imo... That doesn't seem like enough light... Ask around if bleaching of the leaves is a big deal I do think it is.

I'm more knowledgable about aquatic plants, but I believe a bleached leaf will pull in less energy than an unbleached leaf. Therefore, you're giving the same amount of energy to the plant but at the cost of more electricity and heat.

What makes you think I don't have enough light? They're growing very stout and bushy. No stretching.

Bc for a 3x3 a 400hps is a good size.... Well I run 2 strains only and they both get light bleached and the buds are very big still.

It's only a 3x2 and I'm planning to stick with LEDs. I couldn't even fit another LED in my tent if I need to tbh. Maybe one of those small UFO types.

Metal halides is too much heat and electricity cost for my situation.
