I would like to hear others opinion on this subject matter:  
I have a 5x5x8 tent  
Lights:HLG 600 Rspec and 2 HLG 100 3000K  
AC Infinity T6 fan for exhaust  
400 CFM fan w/controller as my intake  
1 oscillating 16" fan  
8" fan for bottom air flow

my question is I need to know the different reading (PAR, PPFD, umol/s, DIL) for each stage  
I ask this is because I got this new light when they was 1st in flower and I underestimated it and I think I did something to them at that time.  
this is them 83 days from seed  
information is much needed…PAR, PPFD, umol/s, DIL

Here is the DLI map. To calculate your DLI:

PPFD x (3600 x your light hours) / 1,000,000 = DLI.

They look really good! With those lights you definitely don’t need 20/4 hours. Just a bunch of wasted light that the plants can’t process.

For veg that’s fine. Too much for flower. That’s a DLI of 43
