  I added extra lights just in flower, which seems to be giving me a much bigger yeald since I added them.

  Nature used to have 1400ppm of co2… primordial state.

  Back in the 1980's we figured "diminishing return!" That is whyb1000 watt HID was better than 1500 watts.

  The light duration tapering method makes sense for the plant's natural cycle through the growing season.

  I like that idea of dropping the hours every couple of weeks for a month while still keeping on top of dli, gonna try it this run

  That's fine when you're running a single strain and taking all to harvest simultaneously. I have a half dozen stains going at any one time so I keep the lights as high as possible.

  I have been doing the "puffin stuff" in vegetative, for some years and its kinda church by now.  I go down 2H pr week over the last 3 weeks of veg. 1h down on mondays, 1 more on fridays and adjust the DLI accordingly.  Great talk guys

  you can feed it as much light as you want but once the root ball is small it will not get any bigger.  the key for me is focus on the foundation not the building be nice to the root and it will give lots of fruits

  My take on this:<br><br>As the graph [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fTRLkyF0mA&amp;t=360">6:00</a>] shows, we are supposed to ramp up DLI during flower. The CEO of &quot;Sanlight&quot; also said that you want some headroom on your lights when going into flower so that you can increase ppfd after the stretch to somewhat end the stretching.<br><br>Most growers i see begin flowering with 100% on their lights. This leaves you with no headroom to further increase DLI. Scince we can&apos;t increase the hours of light per day during flower, we have to do it through light intensity. That means you should being flowering at about 80% light intensity so that you can ramp it up further after the first stretch (about 2-3 weeks into flower).<br><br>I hope this helps somebody! Happy Plants, Happy Mans!

  Back in the day we grew with 1000W MH and 250W HPS lights all on light rails. The veg to flower transition was every two days drop an hour every four days add another HPS. 18 hours to 12 hours took 12 days and light intensity rose from 3000W MH to 3000W MH + 1000W HPS in 16 days. It made for a smooth transition with no heat bleaching from increased light or hermies from a quick photo period flip.<br>These days I imagine you can do the same thing with LEDs probably automatically through an app on your phone.
