Understanding DLI & VPD

Daily Light Integral (DLI)

DLI measures the total amount of PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) received in a day. Optimal DLI ranges:

  • Seedlings: 10-20 mol/m²/day
  • Vegetative: 20-30 mol/m²/day
  • Flowering: 30-40 mol/m²/day

Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD)

VPD is the difference between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when saturated. Optimal VPD ranges:

  • Clones: 0.4-0.8 kPa
  • Vegetative: 0.8-1.2 kPa
  • Flowering: 1.0-1.5 kPa
