Debating whether to sacrifice one to help the others

So I am running an indoor tent grow with a P450 LED light.

I have three plants
2 are a strain I paid for(call them plants A/B) and one was a freebie(plant C)

Due to the size of the light all 3 plants do not sit too well under the light.

Plants A/B are looking better than plant C, but they sit about 6" lower than plant C.
As a result they are farther from the light than I would want them to be.

Additionally, Plants A/B are not 100% percent under the light as they are sharing space with plant C.

I am debating on killing off plant C so that I can bring the light closer and put Plants A/B directly under the light. Additionally, they are crowding a bit so this would free up some space for plants A/B to get more exposed to the light.

Was wondering what everyone's thoughts were, if having less crowding, as well as more direct and closer lighting on plants A/B would likely offset the loss of plant C?

Im guessing adding lighting isnt an option?

That would be the ideal. I plan to add another P450 or possibly four 3' fluorescents to go around the outside but with the holidays etc. it will need to wait until the next round to add anything substanial. Was just thinking kill it but I could maybe prune it and throw it in the corner of the tent with some CFLs I probably still have laying around and let it be

clone it and kill it

Hadn't considered that. Are you thinking reveg it, or just clone it and flower a couple small clones?

Well .... not really.....

I mean say he harvests 8 ounces with the three plants he has now. BUT if he kills the one and the other two have room to produce better... maybe he squeezes 9 out of those instead.

I dunno...big maybe if you dont know the strain. I do know that when i ran a 5x5 tent i could yield better with 4 plants than with 5 under the one light...

Haha running two sweet seeds green poison and the freebie whatever it is, no clue.

How was 4 in a 5x5? My buddy wants to start up his finally. I told him we should get a second P450 and just run 4 plants in my 3x3, instead of us each running 2 plants under 1 light in separate tents. Been a debate.

I see nothing but horrible comments about these. Got 3 10packs and a few 5s and 2s in the bean stash. Are they really THAT bad lol?

Put a stack of something under them to life up A&B?
Top C?
Or throw all of them under a scrog. No more height problems then.

Yup they are really stressful, pk hungry from vegg in my case 4 times, slow to budd, and twice the flowers were like just little pistils that come between nodes.

To be honest is it them frikkin Afghanis that taught me how to dial in my nutes without a ph pen lol from just trying different things to please her I found the master doses for other plants, and soil too.

So unless you want some good schooling those are the bitches to grow, but allways have a back up plant because I guarantee you will walk in there with a sharp blade and samurai cut it a million and something slices and watch the juices dripping off her till the final drop.:bigjoint:

Or maybe that was just me lmao

I'm saving em for when it legal they might be better outdoors to be fair but all people indoors had issues.

Sorry for talking too much I'm so high :eyesmoke::peace:
