She responded to the light move, has given her a bit of a stretch.
The cob led is definitely underpowered. I got a draw meter and it's only pulling 55w.

Looking good still GMan, was the COB sold as a 100w? If it was the 55w draw is about right, my 400w draws 210w.
Grow leds are powered at around 50-60% of their max to increase lifespan of the bulbs.
I tend to use it as a rough guide when checking out different brands, if the lights are powered lower than the % above it usually means that the manufacturer has skimped on heatsinks/fans/drivers or all three.
I can't remember which company it was, I was looking at their big advert saying how great their new 5w panels were but when I checked the details they were only powered at 28% so their 500w panel was only drawing 140w so I can only presume they had chocolate heatsinks!

Day 60
I've neglect this girl. I had some personal issues crop up and my water/feed schedules went out the window. In the last 10 days she's received water just to keep the pot wet.
Today I've got back on track.
1.5ltr @ 6.5ph
6ml bloom
4ml topmax
2ml cal mag
2ml seaweed
Molasses
She's not going to yield a lot, I introduced the bloom nutes early to see how it would effect the stretch. The buds are beautifully formed, getting loads of colour in them now.

Nice one mate!
Seems like the plant is showing a nice color in their buds and she looks really frosty!
Thanks for updating
