Two wonderful Sticky Broccolis but only space for one – please view diary for more info and pictures to each plant

Option 3 sounds like the best option imo, as long as you got the time and all equipment to do it :) Option 1 is most cost efficient but looking at your pic once the gals will be flipped into flower they will stretch and may be a bit much for the tent, better let some space like this gals can grow to their full potential youll be happy you did it once you harvest all the buds 🙌

I'd plan better to avoid it, but you can prune or remove one.. better than over-crowding. Do you want to buy a 2nd tent? If so, do it. I'd buy what you want for long-term use and not limited to this one-time issue's requirements. Would you use a 60x60 going forward? Maybe larger? Whatever it may be... Can your dehum handle peak humidity of two tents churning out moisture? Make sure it's not a money pit...

Salam Cauli! 👋 Welcome to a very good problem to have, Habibi! 🥦 You are dealing with the classic grower's dilemma: too much healthy canopy, not enough real estate. Let's look at your three options through the lens of Modern Engineering to maximize your final yield! 🛠️ 1. Keep them both in one tent: 🛑 If you already know space is tight, keeping them together is an engineering nightmare. As they stretch into flower, they will fight for light, shade each other out, and create a massive, dense block of leaves. This kills your airflow and skyrockets your risk of powdery mildew or bud rot. 2. Get rid of one: 🗑️ Absolutely not! Unless a plant is sick, throwing away a perfectly healthy, genetically sound plant is a crime against nature! 3. The Expansion Protocol (Set up a second tent): 🏆 This is the ultimate, perfect solution. Moving the smaller one into her own 60x60 (2x2) tent is the best move you can make. By transplanting her and topping those 8 main branches, you are executing a perfect "Manifold" technique. Topping breaks the apical dominance (the plant's desire to grow one tall main stem) and perfectly distributes the growth hormones (auxins) to all 8 branches equally. Give her a couple of weeks to recover and veg, and she will create a perfectly flat, wall-to-wall canopy that utilizes 100% of the light in that 60x60 tent! ☀️ Give each girl her own VIP suite, spread those branches, and prepare for a massive double harvest! 🚀 Happy Growing! 💚

Keep going, plenty room for everything :) It's a common misconception that you need a lot of negative space in your tent/closet, but you really don't, you only need to manage plants and environment accordingly. Techniques like Swazzing (remove ALL fanleaves at flip and end of stretch) will improve light and airflow in a tightly packed tent, and good climate control will make sure you keep temperature and humidity in range. If you really want to get rid of one, I would cull number 2, it looks less aggressive and canopy isn't as even and looks like one of those that could throw out two super long branches and the rest way lower. But you never know if it's the best of the bunch at this point, at mid-flower you might have a rough idea if you need to clear out some space.

Always good to have second tent , either for drying uneven cycle, germinating, for quarantine and so on . But here youll need defoliation and it will be still cramped, even if youll take 1 or 2 plants out ...

– set up a second tent for the smaller one, transplant her one more time and top her eight main branches to let her fill a 60x60 by herself. Dont trow it away, she is too precious and could be the smoke of your life =)) good luck brother

If you have the space to do it, just do it 😊
