Thank you.
I’ve made a post for some estimates where you want your lumens/ppfd at for early veg/late veg/ flower. I cant seem to find them though.
Nice. I’m getting about 800 across the tops. Probably why they are crushing the nutes
Found it.
Depending on your grow space you will need around
10-15k (lumens) (~150-220µMol/s) Early Vegging
25-30k (lumens) (~350-350µMol/s) Late Vegging
50-60k (lumens) (~750-900µMol/s) Flowering
You guys are like lighting ma scientists lol. Thanks for the info. I think I’m sitting pretty. I am going to add a fourth 135w for the next grow. The end plant seems to be getting a little less than I would like.
Thanks for all the info. All these gadgets are useless unless you know how to decider the data collected.
I read someplace that budding plants can’t use more than about 85k lux without adding CO2, Full summer sun on my front porch is 120k lux!
I dunno about that. The sun is usually 100,000 lumens sq meter at sea level, so maybe more than that I would say would need co2.
I have measured 120,000 lux (lumens per square meter) on my porch at noon. That’s about 700 feet elevation in Southern California. Last summer, I grew five different strains outside as an experiment. The sativas were fine. The indicas were both sunburned.
So I have an average of 60,000 lux across my canopy and it comes out to about 874 ppfd. I’m guessing that’s pretty good??
@dbrn32 @Aolelon
It’s very good!
Sweet! Hopefully it makes for so dense nugs
I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
I’ll be adding another 135 to the grow room after this grow I think. I want one light per plant next time.
You could probably turn and dim them a little if you do that.
Now that I know the intensity i will
Yea that sounds like a pretty good place to be. Good deal.
Thanks for your help.
