Assuming you don't want them so bushy -
I'd say move some of the LED panels you have on the side higher so the plants branches/leaves don't grow out so much if you want it to grow taller quicker and less bushy, remembering they grow towards the light source.
OR
Assuming your post is to show how nice and bushy they are. They look nice and healthy to me. Im running just two UFO 90W above 4 motherplants. Keep them about 10-15cm away from the plants and they work great for my veg cabinet. Good work if you want them bushy though, depends how YOU want them to grow. Goodluck with the grow.

bushy is good, looks fine, 5 weeks is a long time for small plants like that, a lot of controversy over those led lights you are using they provide a really narrow part of the light spectrum that is absorbed by the plant, I would consider adding a cfl to supplement the missing wave lengths not produced by those led lamps but to keep them in place as they do provide light in the most predominantly used part of the light spectrum for this plant.

Depends what how you are planning on growing them, if you are concerned that the lower growth isnt getting enough light look into pruning. i personally cut any new growth off as it buds that i am not going to want to grow to maturity, which is usually the growth that is in or will be in the shade of upper growth. It seems like lollipopping would be good in your case but i dont have a lot of exp. with that or with those type of lights. Personally, growing them to get fewer bigger buds is preferable to more small airy buds but everyone is different

typically hps spectrum produces longer lankier branches while metal halide tends to produce shorter stockier plants - my guess is your LEDS tend to the blue-red heavy spectrum of metal halide bulbs.
plus, your plants are probably getting plenty of light for their stage of growth, so they have little motivation to reach up.
cheers
