4 ass monkey under lst right now.

Top pot is orange crack. Last time I did her she was very generous to me.
Bottom pot is forum stomper.

Just bent em all over today.
In a 2x4 with a 4 cob light. Got a nine pound hammer in a root trapper pot too. She's older and in flower. Kinda ugly looking and will come down soon. Will update as I go.

What are your cobs running at? 4 can be powerful in a 2x4. I noticed you had a plant that looks quite yellow. Excessive lighting can cause premature yellowing. The younger ones are further away from the lights for now I assume. Just be aware of the power of cobs. They are like spotlights, so in smaller spaces the light is concentrated and can cause leaf issues. Good luck, slow

I took down the 9lb hammer. It was very unimpressive, took up room the new girls needed. Had no sticky no smell but buds were thick. Hope these get a lot better that one. Left to right 4ass, orange crack, forum stomper all still pretty young

They are 1212 cobs on a frame I had made. The guy that made it said its 200w has a display where driver is mounted that right now says its running 193w. Says voltage and a bunch of stuff I don't really know. Its adjustable but I've never tried to adjust it. I think I will raise it again soon. Next adjust it will be on top of tent. I plan to get a taller 2x4 and I want 2 quantum boards in it. Got the boards for it and new driver. Posted for help putting it together in the diy section for LED.

Just saw a post and thought orange monkey crack would make a Nice cross. Especially the tropical fruit 4am pheno. Gonna look back through the thread quick.

4 cobs running about 50 watts each is too much for a 2x4 IMO. 2 cobs at 50W is perfect for a 2x4. Turn the power down and raise lights. They are yellowing too early from cobs intensity. I have personally made over 50 Cobs and know the intensity. Good luck. Slow

Fwiw, excessive light will also decrease Trichome production. I can tell by the pics and from experience that is your issue 100% sure. Turn your cobs down to 60% max with 4 in a 2x4. If you have relectors take them off, it only makes the spotlight effect worse. People dont realize how strong Cobs are. 200 watts is almost 2x as much needed in that space. So if you have tge space, upgrade to a 4x4 or 3x5 with those lights at full power. Your cobs running at 50 watts each will cause yellowing and deficiency type sypmtoms. The buds might get dense, but the intense light will basically fry your trichs and terps. Smells will be greatly effected. Until you get new lights or a new tent, go turn them down and you will see a positive response in plants. Dont expect the yellow ones to look great, but they wont keep frying. Also, with intensity of cobs you may need to increase Calmag. Good luck, slow

How do I decrease the light

There are 2 screws to the right, sunken in. They adjust the power levels. I will try to look up the model of the ballast, but if you turn them to the LEFT, the intensity will go down. Maybe put both at 50% and see how it looks? But I am 100% sure your lights are too intense at 100%. Infact 2 cobs at 50w can be too much if the lights are closer to the plants in a 2x4. Bwcause you have 4, they will overlap light in certsin spots. This is why you want to turn them down with 4. Good luck
