Every plant can only take so much light and use it to grow. Knowing the dli of your light can help you adjust yours for the different stages of growth. I think some go for 50 in flower while I have seen others go to 60. Not sure what @OGIncognito has his at for the different stages. I personally don’t do too much checking of my dli at this point. Reading the plant is my preference and using my phone is a backup.

@OGIncognito yes I’ll look that up maybe can share it here and someone can help sorry I posted something back but put it under @Capt.Cola but ya man thanks
@Capt.Cola ya just seems complicated I get it though. Like they say u need a lot of light for dense buds but what is to much light maybe I should just buy like 2000 watt and stop buying the little 1000 watt ones
@OGIncognito @Capt.Cola and the king 1000 watt has been through a few grows to. They say it gets used and not as bright maybe time for a new one
Other then a few yellow leaves which is expected at this point in the grow your plants look great. If it were me I would go full nutes as all of them look like they need at least a couple weeks. The one in the 1st and 3rd and last pics look like longer then a couple weeks. What I would do is take the ones that look closer to being done and put them on one side of the tent and take the others to the other side. Then you can use your dimmable light for the ones closer and the other full power light for the ones not as close.

Yea it’s easier to read @Nicky thread on dli. Hope he pops in and attaches the link. I would buy the best light you can afford. Good lighting is probably the most important aspect of indoor growing. I personally run all Hlg lights. Im pretty sure Nicky runs a kingbrite or something like that. @OGIncognito also has a couple other lights the best uses.

@Capt.Cola oh yes definitely the ones in first pics and 3rd pic and the last pic are way behind the others they have been getting the full feedings. The 2 white widows and the one in the 2nd pic I have been flushing but next watering I’m feeding them again that’s Forsure. And great idea about moving then yes that’s what I’m gonna do within the hour Forsure dam I love Ilgm lol I used roots organic dry amendments and soil was Pro mix hp and used mykos and Azos in soil

Ya I go with what I can afford. Like I said I have a 300 watt viper spectra then and 600 watt viper spectra with bloom switch and veg switch then I have a 1000 watt pb maxisun and a king 1000 watt all led and I have one hps but it’s only 150 watt
@Capt.Cola nailed it on the DLI. Sometimes I’ll push the 70’s to see if they can take it but sometimes end up with Fox tails.

Basically It’s a measurement of the lighting your plants receives daily or Daily light integral and is set by a meter or the app. Each growth stage requires a different DLI

@OGIncognito is phonton app or something like that and how do u adjust the light for that my how far it is from canopy?

Yes PHOTON is the app, if you have an IPhone you’ll need to cut a piece of printer paper to act as a filter. Once you have that and the app on just place your phone even with the top of your plants and look at the DLI reading and raise, lower or dim your light to the right DLI. It’s really simple

Nice buds…Also watch the trichs on top of the flower, as they turn amber you will also notice the pistols curl back into the bud. I’m there or very very close at that point. Just what I’ve noticed.
