Level of Lights Is this Ok?

I did the checking of the Lights I have a one Vivosun VS1000 LED 100w and it works I also add a 18" Veg and Flowering light with 680 DLI range for flowering which has helped I did the readings and do the average which is Lights PPFD @ 508.4 DLI @ 35.3 So I know the two plants have been in the fabric pot for 4 months so I have been feeding them a lot and they seem to be waking up In two days the leaves have gotten greener and looked much better. @BobbyDigital @MeEasy So I believe it is nutrients they need now. to flower.

Here’s a chart that shows a good dli to shoot for throughout a grow cycle. But yes 35 moles per day is a dli during flower and will get you good good dense buds

Mine has a red line, yours doesn’t.2ndweek of veg spikes to 50dli, stays there till mid-late flower.
@Nicky and the group have found this to work well for them.
In about 8mins I get to go do some more adjustments. Think I can still lower my light some more. I’m @100% and 18" and still only 37.4🤔

Autos are they and 19/6 is the time I run because I think this may be right for them now.

:laughing::rofl: I saw that red line and wondered what it was for… I don’t use a meter to setup my light there’s no magic number that will work for every plant. Imo the numbers give you a starting point it’s up to you to read the plants and adjust your lights to them. Same thing with feeding them

That works I like that about autos you can run a lower intensity of light but for more time it helps with keeping the temperature in check.
Once they start to get some pistils (white hairs) that’s when I feed them their flower food

100% correct and I believe my girls was begging for more! I’ll keep pounding them till they yell uncle😎
Just got back from out there and with my wiz bang calculations I believe I’m at 44.94 dli. Gonna rock it right there through mid flower if they will allow it.

Push it as hard as you can until late flower.
Early on watch node spacing if it’s to close then back power down a bit ttill you get the idea stretching you wany.

But yeah @StonedCold13 has my. Updated and modified DLI chart
