Indoor 1812 citizen COB grow

Thanks for the words Freeflow. Yea I just added reflectors and it seems like they are helping. I feel like the cobs have a wide angle of light like close to 160 degree. The reflectors brought it down to around 110 I feel. Much better light focus. Here are some pics of the net. I added my chiller in to keep the res temps consistent. The LED pic is the mother. She is about 4' tall.

COBs has 120° or 115° angle.
Reflectors has 90° or 80° angle, depends which one you're buying.
 
Yea I figured the angles I put weren't exactly right but there was a lot of wasted light lol. They reacted a lot better when I added the reflectors.

How long do you guys usually wait before you cut undergrowth on scroged plants?
 
I do 2 rounds. Once on week 1 and again week 3
 
I've been sick for a few days so I got to check the girls today. They are starting to preflower nicely!! I'm still skeptical about the light though. I don't think it has what it takes. The ones under the LED are much healthier and have good spacing. Anyways here are some pics. Hopefully the cob will pull through.

Unfortunately I don't think the cobs have the power I'm looking for. I'm going to run a old mars300 in the middle and probably use the cobs on the outside. It sucks because I really thought they were going to be worth it.
 
Scratch the mars hydro light. I really want to just use these cobs damnit! Thinking of upgrading 1 ballast to a hlg240 from a 185. And possibly adding another cob in the middle.
 
Well I disconnected 2 cobs, one from each set. They seem to be producing the light I'm looking for now except I was empty of light in the middle so I added a LED. It's a cheap one my friend got off eBay. I think it's brand is KING. Seems to produce decent light for being a "1000 watt" led that pulls 200w at the wall lol. I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow.
