Yeah I also think it was a max DLI issue but through duration, not intensity.

This and a 5-pack of Fast buds are the last autos I intend on growing. I prefer regs. But yeah I am fairly confident in what Master Sensei puts out, I haven't been disappointed yet. But one of my goals for my goals is cost-effectiveness, and with autos I genuinely feel there's a lot of wasted light hours to grow these.

DLI is a combination of intensity and duration.

I haven't had any bad autos through multiple breeders. Maybe I was just lucky. All my Seedstockers autos turned out great.
Edit: I take that back. I had one terrible one. The entire plant was foxtails. Completely airy buds you could almost see through.

I highly doubt my BP1000 is "too intense".

You seem to be focusing on only one aspect of my comment. As I said DLI is a combination of intensity (PPFD) and duration.

Possible it's just me as a grower. Photos to me are much easier. Autos you got to worry about stressing it out or overfeeding.
I should shop around and get a broader view and experience of what the market today offers. I know good beans are out there.
I kinda dig the look of a foxtail but it's not something I encourage in my gardens. In the end tho, it all smokes the same. Airy and loose flower clusters, ahh... naaa.

Yeah but lower intensity, higher hours. So yeah, I'm focusing on the part of your comment that's pertinent to my situation.

Switched the auto to Bloom A & B the other day, and will start giving her all the rest of the "side dishes" tonight or tomorrow, which are just Balance (silica), Cleanse (chlorine solution) and Cal mag. I kinda like that I've been able to keep it so small, but I'm ready for it to stretch now. Should kick into flower any day.

The 2 in the back look hungry. What's your nutrient called? Is there a veg A/B or just bloom. NPK?

Athena Blended for these. The back ones are testers that, quite frankly, are getting the "bare minimum" so as to keep them small, they slip in and out of minor deficiency. No big deal, as soon as I want them to do well I just bump up their feed.

She was riding solo for a bit, but I just popped some old fems I had. Still gona flower this in here, the light is like 8 inches from the tallest site, doing really well. I tell ya what, this little BP 1000 light rips, it's fantastic for veg but so far has been great for flower, just not that great of spread.
