1. Plants are very healthy and flowers beginning to show....12/12 for a week now and everyday seems to improve with showings. I have pruned a few of the larger nodes. Did I do the right thing?.....these plants have had great vegetation to the point where the pistils can not get any light.

2. I use a 400/430 HPS and I have read that primary coverage is approx. 4X4 with supplemental of 6X6. What exactly does supplemental mean in this case?

Many Thanks in Advance

is that just the pic or dose it look like it has different shades of green on the leaves?
and i see tin foil on the wall, get rid of it and flat white paint or mylar or black/white plastic. tin foil will cause hot spots and burn them.
any nutes and do you know the ph of feeding

Nah...its the overhead light coupled with the flash I have taken several photo's and my camera wants to focus on a single aim point. Here are a couple that show the true color, although looking down on the one plants the leaf's look different shades. Place looks like Cambodia when you open the door. My question was in regards to the extreme thickness of the growth. If you can see closely bonz the plant next to the wall in the 'group' picture is the one I trimmed away some very large leaves, this image is a true representation of the color of them all. There is no color different in the 'real'. The foil is coming down as soon as I can. I will paint the closet with a couple of coats of flat white ceiling paint. I was afraid to paint this far into the grow.

they look fine. if you want to get more light to the inside because they are bushy then just tie some of the side branches out to the side of the bucket.
give them a good pull, dont be worried to much if they break a bit. put tape around it and in a couple days it will be healed.
as it groows through flowering just keep pulling them out more.
