I hate to be that guy but can you provide pictures in a different light? These types of light can hide underlying issues on camera. If not its ok. I will say however that I think your on the right track.

Also if you could zoom out a bit, show the full plant.

I third the request for pics without those lights off, those pics just won't work. Can also use pics of whole plant.

No worries. I find turning the lights out and taking pic with flash works well. What model light? Yes put on both switches so bloom and veg led's are both on.

Hello GB, let's start with the good. The plant looks nice and green and I see no tip burn so good job on that. The big issue I am seeing is that the plant looks very stretched out. The spacing between the nodes is way too big. That means it will not produce big colas as the nodes need to come together when budding to form those. This is a big indication of not enough light, the plant kept stretching up to try to get more light. This is my current plant before it started budding, see how much closer the nodes are?

Now that same plant is a month into budding and when you look at the colas you can see how they are growing together into large buds. There is not much you can do with that at this point except keep the branches supported as when they are that long they are easier to snap from weight as buds grow. For your next plant/grow you will want to at the very least lower the light closer to the plant to avoid such things. The best thing you could do is invest in a better light.

I see again thanks D.D what do you recommend for a light i think they out grew there space i have a bigger tent coming on Saturday a 3×3×72 obviously i need a better light

That is one factor. I don't know your exact light and RoHS is not a manufacturer. I believe RoHS stands for Reduction of Hazardous Substances .
A 600w led with veg and blooms switch in reality is usually a 100 to 250 watt drawing light which is not very powerful. They rope people in with big numbers but it is just marketing. My supposed 1200 watt Led's only had a draw of 160 watts. Now don't get me wrong, I grew my first plant under a couple of these lights and did fine but the bud was not near as dense as I would have liked it. I have now switched to a MH/HPS system. For your new tent I would say go with a 400 watt or if you can get away with it a 600 watt MH/HPS setup. That is just me thought.
