I didn’t read the above replies but don’t worry about your plant being bushy now it’s going to stretch come pre flower.
If you want it to stretch more back off your lighting power, however I wouldn’t suggest that because height becomes a problem later and bushy is good.
You can head over to my DLI thread for more info on that here.

@Nicky Yeah you hit it on the head. I am fighting what looks to be a Autoimmune disease thats pretty crazy and its getting worse by the day. I am waking up with blood every where.
So I’m pretty distracted and not running all cylinders. 
Thanks for the correction as you know I rarely train my plants anyways as it is. 
My body is turning on itself. I may get to see a Specialist by 2023 as it can take up to 2 years to get in at the VA Hospital. Ugh.

@Se7en Nice find. I have a Peach Puree CBD that is 1:2 ratio aka 1 THC to 2 CBD. I will smoke some and see how it works. I have been smoking concentrates for most of the year. Bad asthma. This disease or whatever is causing it makes life suck. Saved a screenshot of your post. In case the Peach helps. Its a great atrain for pain management.
My Doctor thinks its the following:
“ What causes chronic urticaria?
Long-term (chronic) urticaria. Chronic urticaria may occur when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues . This is known as an autoimmune reaction. About a third to half of all chronic cases of urticaria are thought to be autoimmune related.”
Thus I need to see a Allergy Doctor and a Immunologist. But the VA Hospital is so slow for Speciality Doctors. I am on a 24 hour allergy pill and my doctor said several medications I’m on already is not managing this crap.

You managing okay though? Like otherwise? Or is it legitimately too much? Surely if it gets too much they have to do something right?

Oh its unbearable and its pushing me to the breaking point. I may end up going this week as my Doctor is supposed to be back on June 14th.
But life goes on and I don’t let it control me.
And thanks…trust me if I could trade for a healthy body I would in a heart beat. To much is wrong but I don’t let it hold me back.

No email addy or we get banned but thank you. Appreciate the offer. Going to show you what happened today.
Ahhhh okay no worries at all 
Those DLI numbers are good enough, the 48 is perfect to run all grow long at late flower maybe evn dial it down a bit to 42.
38 could use a bit more but if that’s what it is then oh well
Always take an average reading from multiple spots among the canopy.
If it’s possible to lower the light that can help light values, but be careful as there is a sweet spot with light height vs how far out the light reaches. The closer the light the stronger the centrer DLI but the weaker the outside after a certain amount.
Hence the importance of the average.
Hope you get some answers soon @MrPeat I know you have struggled with health for quite some time… Ugh your a trooper that’s for sure.
I like your attitude though!

Also, I only just noticed this, a couple of the tops of the colas look like they’ve been flattened a little, but they definitely haven’t, this isn’t something to worry about is it?

@Nicky Sad but true. I make the best of it and continue on with life. The good news is I have a clean bill of health outside all the damage to my spine. I just had a full work up on May 31st and this crazy skin crap. I learned a long time ago I woke up one day and said there is nothing I can do and it’s time to live life. Best decision I have ever made. I wouldn’t wish anyone of this on another human being.
I have never done PAR or DLI. I generally keep the lights at the top but recently I have lowered them down for seedlings and raise it up as the plant gets bigger.
