Tbh Pal.. There really is a lot to it. Just syick with the basics for now.. There's so much info on DLI and it's different for every local and environmental conditions, RH temp.co2 and lots lots more. Get back the basics under your wing 1st.. Once your light has a ppfd of 1000uml. You should be able to get as decent bud if you do things right. As you have fast version. And she mainly young and early into the flip. May I suggest you take all leafs of the nodes, (but just leaving 2 on top of each node for drawing in energy. Heres a link that will show you how to get long colas. A longer version of what I explained: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial If you want to increase your growing time. As with my fems I use a far red 730nm after lights out and it changes the photochrome (the time it takes a fems to sleep. From 2 hrs to 5mins) meaning you get 13.hrs of sunlight and 19.4hrs of darkness + the 5-10mins it takes to put them to sleep after the far red goes out. Read this will explain it better and increase your DLI by 10-20% which might not sound like a lot. But with the defoliation I just gave you link to will all play a part in your DLI. But these are environmental conditions to improved your DLI. Any fat red 730nm.. here's a lot more on what I takes about here that will increase the time your plant spends under light. Mars hydro do a good far red + a uv that you can use together or apart. It really speeds up the time in which fems take to flip as some times it can be 7-10 takes meir seen pistils i seen mine after day 3 and she looks much further ahead. Hope this helps. If you need to ask anything about. Feel free to DM me. Enjoy your grow.
