Get the light off the ground, you got it back wards. last time I check I look up to see the sun.
Last I checked, I didn't plug in the sun each morning either, your point? It's undergrowth lighting, nothing wrong with that. I'd leave it off until they actually have some undergrowth though, OP.

You don't really need lighting low down, OP. There's not enough plant there to block light. Where is the growth that should be on the bottom 3/4 of the plant? Either those are stretching way too much, or someone went crazy with the trimming.

You right! Having fun with growing is good, I like it too. Its a suggestion thats all, but keep at it your doing good!. Another suggestion if I may, go get a $5 light timmer so you dont have to plug and unplug the light everyday, cause that's crazy!? Then your undergrowth will have consistant light everyday. Hope that helps

The undersides of leaves can't photosynthesise. Please don't waste anymore light under the plants, put that light above them. It looks good, you overall bud waight will be better if you listen to what I have to say. Good luck

That's fine. I'm just letting you know that you're burning power with probably no need for it. Unless you have undergrowth that isn't getting light, you don't really need underlighting. The 600w over 4 plants is plenty, especially right now.

Your leaves don't turn to receive light from the best source? Mine sure do. Either way though, 4 plants that size don't even really need the 600w that they're getting from the top, I'd bet.

Who are you, feel free to grow you plants upside down!? All the grower wanted was advise, not more questions. If hes asking for adivse that mean hes newer to the game, so start him off on the right track. If you contradict me again, im going to give a proper response and I mean that with all respect kpmarine

they look good dude the lighting on the very bottom is not needed. Maybe put them on the sides but bottom is most likely not helping, the pruning idea is gr8, but I think they might of stretched a bit on you. Any way so far so good. Keep it up

The previous discussion about how effective underlighting aside; I'd pull out the T5's and move the 4 plants closer together. I've bloomed a 4'x2' scrog with 430w of light. There was a lot more plant mass, and it was just fine. If you got them all under that overhead lighting a bit tighter, I think you'd be happy with the response.

Move florescent light to the side or something and push the plants close together. Drop the LED's down so they are as close to the tops as possible.

Inverse square rule, you're loosing half of your light.
