I thought you said the cobs were a bit much, but I guesss you mean with the reflectors on...my bad. I was just looking at the darker spaces in your tent because you don't really get the reflective light on the sides because your tent is so packed. I was thinking a couple cheap Grow bulbs or possibly a light bar to add light to the lower and side stuff. Low watts, like the 26w light bar would be enough to add bulk on these larger stains that fill the tent completely.
I bet you could get close to maxing out the tent that way. Just thinking for you and if I were you what would I do without too much Investment and not disrupt the system you have going there. You should go another couple grows without changing too much, that way you will get a better feel for how you like to grow. Too many guys chase ghosts, always trying to upgrade and never really getting a feel for growing. Your grow knowledge is already pretty advanced.

Just looks awful dark in the undergrowth area. You can get a lot of bulk under there...light bar, I am thinking light bar!

They even make them in veg and bloom so you could manipulate spectrum a little with them as well and not to big an investment. Just thinking out loud with ya bro! I know you are looking to max out this grow and future grows without huge investments, like me. A little at a time and now after all these years, I am flush with stuff to grow with. Just mixing it up sometimes so I don't get bored. Thinking about adding airports in the next run, and maybe even doing a dwc bucket too. I have every system there is. At one time I ran them all.

Yeah, the cob manufacturer recommends that I take the reflectors off if is closer than 12 inches to the plants, which I am now. The plants handle the two cobs well, though. Darn, Med, now you have me thinking about the under canopy, and you have a good point. I do want to try to maximize the yield on those plants. Will look into it further. Thanks as always for the advice!

@MedCzech, After checking things out, I think I am holding on with the 2 cobs for now. They are pretty bright, and I have them positioned in such a way that all walls are getting good lighting. I will keep the fan leaves from blocking the light on lower colas, but see where light is currently reaching the reservoir cover through the canopies.
I think the angle of my photo makes it look darker than it is. In person, it looks alot brighter. Don't forget, too, that in a pinch, I can also put the KIND back in and move these cobs near the floor pointing up through the canopy, I am thinking that would be way too much light for my little cabinet, but if the plants call for it, I will.
Right now, some of the outside perimeter colas are the fattest, with the bottom buds looking just as good (not a small purple though). If I see any signs, I will adjust the lighting with the KIND coming back in play. I think I got all the lights I can use right now, though. Since I already have a very good full spectrum 220 true watt grow light outside my cabinet waiting and ready!

Ok, pictures made it look darker. You are the best judge. I think your set up right now is excellent. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Those new trainers look like they are really sweet. The bendz wouldn't help you as much in the space you have. Those are much better for sure. I got totally lucky that I looked those up when we were discussing this last fall.
With the right strain in the right conditions, using those trainers, I can get one plant to fill my entire tent. I have done that a couple times if I know I will get a monster. So far only one strain, Auto Ultimate from DP actually filled up the tent, back when I was running a 600w hps. She grew to around 750 grams or so, I didn't have scales at that time, but she was a monster. Decent smoke too, but not quite as tasty as the stuff I grow now.
