I am at 30-32dli at the moment, I plan on swapping out 2 full spectrum strips and put in the lm301h ONE strips(3500k) thursday and upping the dli to 40.

Makes sense. I think I upped my lights a little too early. 40.18 DLI right now. Think I’ll leave them there for a bit…

Here they are day 35. (Day 28 for the cdlc).

I gave them a recharge with extra molasses the last watering and of course the 3bog didnt like it,she hates all changes except when I turned on the 730nm strip yesterday, she loved that and perked right up. They are exploding with growth!

Looking great! I recently picked up some Unsulfured Blackstrap Molasses to supplement my Recharge as well. I’ve never fed it to any of my plants yet. How much do you usually give per gallon of water?

I add approx 1 tablespoon or so.

The plan is to swap out the 5000k strips(2) for 3000k strips tonight. Tomorrow I will swap out (4) Enhanced full spectrum strips for (2) lm301H-ONE strips and (2) Chroma full spec strips, plus turn the 680nm strips up to 70%. Yesterday I turned on the 730nm strip at 50%.

EDIT: swapped in the 3000k and ONE strips just a few minutes ago, I think I will hold off on swapping the Chroma strips and see how the plants react

I just checked on the plants and they really liked the change in strips/spectrum. ALL 4 plants have stretched noticeably since swapping the strips to flowering and upping the dli to 40ish.

I see you at 40DLI! I’ma have to raise mine a little bit tonight and slowly each day after until I get there. You leave them right at 40 throughout flower? Everything looking good btw!

Yes I am.at 40 dli now, but the 3bog does NOT like it at all I had to give the testy girl a parasol, like a old school southern bell! LOL

And here she is after having some semi-shade all day, she is perking up nicely!!!!!!!!
