That's actually difficult to judge because the look a bit airy but also nice and frosty.
But it does look like there's still white pistils , if my eyes don't deceive me.. so I'd say it's got a way to go yet.
Not to be apita but more detail bud shots would be beneficial.
Generally judge it on...
Is the seal not good enough?
I've got 5 of the 1lb Grove bags, I really like them.
But if I sealed them with my vac pac I'd not be able to keep doing it repeatedly
Look at the link, look at the 4th picture along.

Anyway, the fact your run off is much higher suggests they aren't using what your putting in or there's too much dry back.
I'd flush them...
Doesn't matter what the light source is, the guys posting above are telling you good information .
That article only relates to photoperiods, not autos
is it in warranty?
If nit probably just a standard driver that you can replace.
Assuming you've checked everything from timer, to extensions, fuses ect
Thought that's what you meant initially.
I'd use them all above , they aren't designed to be on their side, the heat sink will be minimal in those box lights.
