not enough light, and its too far from plants. your light is fixed, so raise the plants to the light. that white fabric looks like it would love to catch on fire.............

pic 3 looks too rich. droopy,,,,tip burn. you could side-light, but i think the canopy/colas is where the bud is at. underbrush gets cleared by a lot of growers. i like popcorn at the movies........not on my plants.....

you can only squeeze so much bud out of a genotype..........gardening is deciding where you want that production

cola is the main bud.......the leader. the canopy is where the ends of the branches stick up in the air. any bud you get below, just comes off the tab, so to speak (yield being geno limited). more popcorn, means smaller buds up top. pruning/trimming under the canopy is also a good way to practice cloning. read the stickies. i can't spoon-feed ya......i'm not good enough. there are some really great growers on here. read their stuff

looks good bud........i think the lights are fine. you have 82 actual watts........that's equivalent to way more than 100W

droopin....leaves? too much water....too much food......not enough air......
with the exception of air and light.........less is more. love.....but tough love. more gardeners kill with kindness than with neglect.
