I think i have this understanding right this DLI,

So this chart states 12 mol/m2
My veg tent is 80x80cm = 0.64/m2
So do i want around 7mol for my veg tent for my small seeds and work up the chart as the weeks go by turning my light up to get the amount for my 80x80Screenshot_20230820_153347_Photone.jpg

Of course you can.
PPFD and DLI are basically the same with the difference that PPFD is an instantaneous measure(each second) while DLI is a cumulative measure(over a period of time).
So 12Mol/m²/day means that at the top of your plants they are going to receive around 185umol/s/m² doesn't matter the size of your space, to get that amount of light you can adjust the power of your luminaire or you can raise or down your luminaire.

Thanks for the info, my tent is on 84f and 76% so hopefully they take off on daily feedings
