I consider it right where you want to be... ever so slight of light stress but not enough to cause issues.

But doing doing that is walking the line a bit
Ok, because thats exactly where I think it should be is walking that line. It is a balancing act, but once you can get the plants rhythm, it just takes off.

I should say though that you do not want to see thus at all on seedlings and very early veg. Unless you are very confident of your ability to read them.

In the early stages you want nice flat leaves.... even until flower there is no need to overdue the intensity. Once you hit 12/12 then you want to push as hard as you can without crossing the line because you want to get them as much light as possible in 12hrs.

But if you cross that threshold it can really hurt your grow.

This is where the DLI comes into play and your plants particular setting.
That reminds me, I need to recalculate our DLI again since we had to replace a light. Numbers have changed.

What should my light number be right now? Maybe I need to lower the dial on my light

They won't flower until maturity I'd flip. Plants don't mature for 3-6weeks. Do the nodes alternate yet? If not just flip and once they mature they will flower
Ive been reading the whole thread. nice advice in general. but what do you mean "they wont flower until maturity"? i mean unless i missed something these are not autos. photos can pretty much flower after week 1 of veg, thats how i do SOG all the time. or what did you mean?

Clones can flower after 1 week of veg... seeds won't.

They seeslings are not mature after 1 week and will not flower until they are.

Clones are cut from plants that are already mature and the will flower after 1 day of veg if you want.

My 2 of my plants are starting to show a deficiency. I don’t know if it’s maybe the same thing that was happening in the beginning of my thread. Heat stress. I’m not sure how to fix this issue. Last time when I had this issue you told me to remove the carbon filter and that fixed the issue with heat. But I still haven’t added the carbon filter back so I don’t know what to do to fix this issue.

Pics of the plants... hmmm humidity dropping very low and high temp can definitely cause issues.

The only thing that i see "wrong" is the edge of your leaves exhibit very mild signs of possible light stress. Raise your light a couple clicks, and IMO increase cal mag to 2ml per gallon. But honestly it all looks fine, even those spots since they're not consistently everywhere.

Yeah thats heat stress likely caused by transpirational stress of highbtemo and lower humidity. You probably want to move the fan below the canopy. That may help the leaves cool a bit more.

I’ve been feeding 5ml cal mag to gallon

How dense are the plants? Hard to tell in the pic they look pretty dense but maybe not. If so removing some of the older large fan leaves would probably help with airflow and that will help with cooling.
