Hello, I'm a first time grower. my plants seem to be growing good but are really Bushey. I worried that the lower parts won't get enough light. Tried to lst, but it's difficult because of how dense it is.
Do I just continue to grow as is or do I prune or do my best to lst?

Hiya Highskywalker your plants look great, awesome job! You'll be flipping to flower soon so they'll be stretching ALOT. You'll probably be thankful they are as short as they are. How tall is your tent?

These girls are photoperiod, I was thinking of waiting another 3-4 weeks before flowering ?

I'm in a 32"x32"x62

You aren't fitting 3 plants in a tent that size very well. It will be real cramped. I just tried 3 plants in the same size tent & had to move them to a closet. This is 5 weeks Veg & 7 weeks flower so far.

Yep, you definitely are going to be happy they are short. I'd be tempted to flip them sooner with 62" to work with. How much room does your light take up, and the pot? You don't have alot of room in between there.

I have same light that buds buddy has, so it doesn't take up much space... I say I have about 3 feet of space left, maybe a little more.

There also has to be a gap between your lights and the top of your plants, that's usually about 18 inch at the least, buds has the same light maybe he can confirm the distance.
You run out of height pretty quickly.

Once I switch to 12/ 12 I keep it about 12" from the canopy at 100%. Haven't had any light or heat stress issues. My tent stays 79 - 81 F which isn't perfect but close enough.
