Hello
The plants are looking great so far , very healthy. I'd say go through and defoliate some of the biggest light blocking leaves, and then also make sure the bottoms are defoliated nicely. If there's lots of room for a light or two around the base i don't see anything wrong with that, but you'll want to be wary of heat rising from the bulbs and burning those bottom areas. I've rarely been able to make my bottom popcorn buds grow into much, so it would be interesting to see if this would help at all...just pay close attention to the heat and the leaves to make sure all is well under the canopy. Keep trying new things and see what works for you. š
