Yep it is. I just noticed it's a 600W HPS. Well thin wispy buds are a sign of lack of lighting intensity in my experience. If your buds are wispy down below it's probably due to your canopy being so dense. Personally with the room you have I would seriously consider a SCROG screen up each side of the walls, hang your lamp lower and take the reflector off. when that lamp gets old, consider a lamp that can hang vertically.

To make it really tits, put it on a linear rail and have it move back and forth along the room's length.

BTW I keep forgetting to add, that IS a mighty nice grow you have going on! thumbsup.gif

I agree on cropping plants, its the right thing to do, but I've also read where some of those sucker leaves also act as a buffer for drought and nute burn. I have seen with mine where I have underwatered or temp was too high and a lot of those leaves took the damage. So I have cropped, but only a little, preferring to use them as a buffer until I learn to grow better.

Likewise. I keep as many of my lower sun leaves as possible. They are store rooms of water and nutrients for the plant.

Now that I think about it, you just have to many plants in there! lol.gif
