I've just been playing around with a DLI calculator as I go through veg. Seeing what it's saying for my coming weeks and tbh it's left me thinking wft
I've grown before (3x3 tent. 125w cfl for seedlings, then straight into 600w MH veg, 600w hps flower, then back to the MH for the last week or so.. keep humidity and temps in check, full power on the lights and that's it.
Anyway, this time things have advanced a lot since then it seems.
VPD, DLI, LED lights.
Anyway, I've been trying g to keep my VPD in check and seems good, but I've been looking at this DLI stuff.. up coming weeks ramping up all the way to flower, then bam.. drop the DLI again for the first week of flower as if it were 2nd week of veg.. wtaf?
Is this the best method? If I'm strict with the DLI recommendations on the site I'm looking at I may never crank the light up all the way which seems strange and pointless.. if back in The day a 600w hps was better than a 400w, then why not use the light to it's full potential?
What are peoples views on this please
