Looks pretty good there Jim ... How much yield are you trying to get out of the plant? Also, is there a reason why she is leaning towards the left side ? But all in all, looks pretty good for a dresser set up ... Great work (+ rep)

raise the top lamp on the right 6 inches and take the two bottom lamps underneath it up beside it !! try not to get light under the plant, thats where you want it slightly cooler, darker, slightly humid and airy, you want it warm/hot, lots and lots of light and air on top of the canopy, this will encourage vigorous growth/stretch on the lower branches to reach the light, and darken the floor of the dresser to stop any light reflecting back up on to the underside of the leaves, thats where they respire co2 during the day and air at night.
raise that fan off the floor on to the left side/roof pointing down at a slight angle from the left across the top of the canopy pushing air down toward the darker floor, and you will have a perfect plant eco system, those yellow leaves will disappear if you keep your ph at bang on 6.5.... with 2 litre of water with full nutes every 2nd morning when light comes on, it will go fkn grow mental, if you can make sure your night temps are at least 10-12c...50-55f below daytime temps it will stop the plant stretching for light during the dark period making it spindly, also make sure there is absolutely no light leak during dark.

I have also wondered about light bouncing back to the underside of the leaves ... Why do some have reflective tape on their resv. when they are doing Bubbleponics method? I would think that this would dry out the leaves in a big hurry ... just wonderin' ...

light under a plant has no purpose except raise the temps under there.
the sun shines on your head not up your arse, that would be pointless.

you might think your doing yourself a favour trying to get lights to the lower flowers but this will produce short branches and crap buds with plants that are not at their full potential.

i will post a picture of my plants later, you will see the bottom branches at almost the same height as the main stem, i bend the main stem early on and lower the lamp.
definitely no light under the canopy, and my walls are WHITE and my floor is BLACK and totally waterproof..

vegged for 21 days flowered for 33 days.
these plants will be ready to harvest on 25th nov, another 31 days. barneys farm lsd 65 day flowering period.
the top temp is just below the canopy the bottom is just above soil height.

you can see how dark it is under the canopy, these plants have never been repositioned since seedlings, let the plants lower branches find their own light, they will stretch and bend to find it, i just bend the main stem down to the same height and then lower the lamp and it trains them to grow like this.
hopefully have lots of huge buds in 30 days.
