have a look at these two videos Sperocles
The Chad Westport one is on an associated topic but if you listen carefully they speak to light intensity at different stages.

All of these people are professional experts in the field and have excellent and current information. So much is changing in Cannabis growing almost on a daily basis as more professional research displaces the old Bro science

I didn’t find all the info I wanted to link but here’s a chart to show DLI and give a general idea of light intensity throughout the stages
I would recommend digging into the content from Shane at Migro , on his site and YouTube he is an expert and has lots of good reliable info

Smallgrow, I'm interested in researching this further. I've been following guidance from the manufacturer of my LED grow light, which says the opposite. 

"Recommendation of light height and dimming level for different growing stage of cannabis"

Seedling Veg Early Flower Late Flower
Lighting Duration 18h 18h 12h 12h

VS2000 dimming 50% 75% 75% 100%

[Smallgrow]

Not sure it related to your problem but as you head into the last half flower you should actually be starting to dial the light back a bit.
This will also minimize the deficiency as your not pushing the plants so hard

Thanks, DabberDog. That is an interesting article that I missed seeing previously. Sounds like this may be what I'm experiencing so will be optimistic.

Here are some photos from my 2nd grow - Wedding Gelato, soil, FoxFarms nutes, 2x4, VS2000. I just increased light intensity to 100% from 75% with about one month left before harvest (I'm at day 78). Only one of my three plants has this degree of discoloration. Dark, mottled leaves up top and yellowing leaves near bottom. I added some Cal/Mag to the feeding for this plant this morning. The other two plants show some signs of similar discoloration but nowhere near as noticeable. So, question is does anyone think I should be concerned about this and would be wise to take some kind of corrective measure?

I'll add that if you have a Harbor Freight store or equivalent, you can buy their small furniture dolly and use that as your platform, making it easy to push around when you are trying to position the plant for easiest maintenance.

Just an idea, get the plants in early stage on a platform, so you can work/control them better.
If they get bigger, no platform and u can work easily on them…
(Iam thinking of an platform or something like inside the tent)

IF having your growing surface closer to you works for you that is what you should do. Keep in mind that your plants will grow and depending on the variety and strain you grow your working surface for at least 8 weeks of your grow will be 1.5 to 4 feet taller as the plants flower. How elevated your tent is from the floor is entirely up to you. Your plants wont care one bit.

I just bought a 2.7x2.7 grow tent kit and I'm wondering if I should set ii up on the floor or use a platform .
I operate out of a wheel chair so a platform would work better for me but i cannot see what you growers do. thanks for your time!

ants are repelled by Pine-Sol. Pine-Sol contains chemicals that are not only effective at killing ants but also deter them from entering homes and other spaces. A study on pest control found that Pine-Sol, along with other household cleaners like Comet, was effective at preventing ants from entering the home

baking soda can be an effective natural ant killer, particularly when combined with sugar. When ants consume the baking soda-sugar mixture, it disrupts their digestive system, causing them to die. While baking soda can be effective, it may not eliminate an entire colony, especially in larger infestations

Household items like citrus fruits, black pepper, peppermint oil, cayenne, thyme, and lavender can create natural ant repellents. Great for avoiding pesticides or conventional ant traps! Mixing parts of these substances with water in a bottle and spraying the solution around the house can keep ants at bay.

Dawn dish soap kills them on contact: "Dish soap sprayed directly on ants will kill ants by penetrating their exoskeleton, which suffocates them," he says. While these homemade ant killers will remove unwanted pests, keeping them at bay long-term involves maintaining a clean kitchen

Unlike carpenter and fire ants, sugar ants are smaller and are the most invasive of all household ants. They can range from 2-15mm in size, and because they are so tiny they have the tendency to get into places most other ants cannot. But what really makes them a nuisance is that they have multiple queens per colony

Hope this helps, are they inside or outside?
If they are climbing your plants look for aphids as ants farm (milk) them and will move them from plant to plant.

[DabberDog]

Find what they're going for. Ants on plants usually mean you have some sort of insect, and the ants are feeding on the insects' 'honey dew' or poop. Sometimes homemade compost will get ants if the compost hasn't fully composted.
Ants in the soil I might not worry about so much unless they are emigrating.
