See how they might be behind in some way. I think the buds should be way bigger. Those other pics were close ups

Oh you only have a single 4.5' plant? That's easy...make a PVC dome over it and toss on some greenhouse fabric to protect from the elements/a tarp/poly cloth to black it out at night

We all start somewhere. That is the effective lighting area....I think that's flowering area in particular for the LED gardener designs. The light itself is probably 2' strips plus a couple inches added due to the frame.

I have four plants. But the one is as big as the three.

It doesn't have to be fancy- this is what I did out back for my fall veggie garden for instance.
(and no my plants don't look as sad as they did in that picture, that was a hot day I added the hoop)

Ok so it's pretty simple. And that will prolong my season a little right. Keep out some of the frost till it gets to bad?

Correct- 8 weeks is about the minimum. Some as soon as 7 after starting to flower but I haven't personally seen it. Sativas can go WAAAAY longer though.
That particular product is called floating row cover. Blocks 22% of incoming light and protects from light frosts/extreme heat. I switch it out for a clear greenhouse plastic when it gets colder.
I would do plastic for your plants not the mesh cover you see on mine. The big reason being the mesh still lets water through to some extent.... I like to keep water away from my buds during the flowering phase....

For light deprivation/blacking out the plants you want something like this:
It will get tiny holes now and then...I just duct tape both sides when something like that happens and keep on going.

Found that link from the other thread https://www.arrow.com/en/products/si-b8v152560ww/samsung-electronics
Those are the 3k range Samsung H strips but for $0.82 instead of $10.00 per strip. I haven't bought from Arrow but it is recommended in this thread:
