Creepy_Steve Yes I have had previous grows, 600W HPS without CO2 addition. Upgraded my lights to DimLux 1000W MKII DE EL UHF DXO, with a 1200W Boost. Measuring PPFD on canopy and adjusting CO2 addition. Mr_Incognito Yes, I have also read that less DLI for ripening is good, but to achieve that, - Lower light-intensity? - Lower light-hours? or Both?

Gotta agree with Creepy_Steve. Photone chart of DLI is highly debatable. That’s a nice piece of BroScience. One thing I definitely agree with: less DLI for ripening is good, as it preserves more THC. Still I haven’t conducted any scientific research on that. I just believe extensive intensity degrades THC as many growers and “trusted websites” report.

have you ever done it withtou all the sophistications? if not, how do you compare to a baseline to determine if what you are doing is actualyl helpful? this isn't criticism.. it's a good question to ponder on your own. if compared to a baseline it shows promise, that's awesome... i find it hard to believe that reducing energy provdided per day helps... certainly won't help yield. might help potency? but the lights also cause trichome production even if it does increase evaporation.. kinda tied together there.. epigenomic effect i'd assume. anyway, lots of hypotheses out there that rarely even attempt to compare to a baseline yet championed as "science" ...
