Hi Simon.....ahhheemm.....cowell. Thanks for the +rep. Your point is extremely valid and to tell you the truth I missed that tiny "4 inches away" detail, haha. Which is why I came off harsh. +rep for you for being dead on with info and making sure I stayed in line.:clap::weed:
Your camera skills are good it is just the hps that is making your pics look orangish. You could turn off the hps and use the flash from your camera and then turn the light back on. From what I can see however the plants look good the leaves have nice shape and development. The one that is...
Well then everyone is just guessing on what your plant issue is. Not only are they guessing, the answers agree with your diagnosis. Your plants probably have a problem that is not related to light, but then again I'd be guessing without pics.
Best to leave the fan/sun leaves on the plant. They are the big ones those are needed so the plant can process light, co2, oxygen and transpire. That is my 2 cents.
I fall in love with all mine too even after harvest, I miss the ones I just cut down already. They always look so beautiful just growing there like that. :hug:

I never did sqeeze my hormone patches into the plants, lol. I needed them myself.
You chiming in on your own grow FDD, now we know everything. I'd give me a compliment too if mine looked like that.
Won't hurt the buds at all. I have seen butterflies humping but not on buds. The trichomes must make them feel romantic. Perhaps the buds are so sticky they are stuck there, so they are using their time wisely.
Could you please describe what "these" you are talking about? cuz there are alot of "these" on the plant to look at, leaves, stems, pitoles, nodes and on............
