Mixing light is fun!
Update 7 (5-18-17)
Hey, what's good guys? All plants are doing pretty good (at least from my noob point of view). I think Sky is still showing signs of improvement, she isn't perfect but she is on a better track now. My guess is that the roots are reaching out and deeper over the past week or so and soaking up the nutes from the super soil it's finding. Also, I'm sure all that CalMag I've been throwing at them has paid off. I've also picked up G.H. CalMag as it only has 1-0-0 NPK, so it's 1% less Nitrogen than the CalMag I was using by Botnicare previously. I think they were showing signs of too much Nitrogen. Fed them 2 days ago, I skipped the Root Stimulator to avoid some of the Nitrogen as well. Giving them Mammoth P + SM90 + CalMag + Recharge and spraying Optic Foliar Overgrow every 3 days or so. Nightqueen is getting a little frosty ^.^

I would say now my eye is on the Dinafem Critical Jack for growing like an absolute monster, surpassing WW in height and equaling Sky now, of course this comes at a cost... Jackie is showing signs of needing a lot of CalMag.
I've also removed a few leaves here and there, mostly on Nightqueen, either because they are blocking too much light and no way to tuck them or old growth, etc. I never do more than 2 at a time as suggested by some here on AFN.

Again...these Cobs are not to be taken lightly! (pun intended) They are very powerful, which can be really great but also can be too much for these little girls if not closely monitored and handled properly. I've got them raised all the way up, approx 20 inches from the highest growth. I only have 3 running at any given time and I am looking into a dimmer option to help control the intensity, heat, etc. to hopefully alleviate heat stress and lack of CalMag on the next grow. I think I will also try more LST next time to keep them a bit shorter as well.

Thanks all for stopping in and for your continued support of this noob!
-NN out!
depending on the driver you use for these COBS you can dimm them down or you have to move them away from the plants. From what i know u mostly see a change in about 2 - 3 hours after you changed the heigt ( you see how the plant streches its leafes to the light or it let its leafes hang down. )
