How much w/sf do you give them
Switch to LED , What problems do you hade/have
- Thread starter Greennner
- Start date
I Switched to 12/12
My Plan is ;
Week 1 - 25.000-30.000lux =
Week2-3 - 30.000-35.000lux=
Week3-8 - 40.000-50.000lux=
Week9-10- 40.000lux
Or after week 3, full 50.000lux till the ende?
I dont know for sure , but i think the most light
Is needed at week 3-6 right?(bud devoloping,Bildung white hairs)

Sounds ok if u wanna save on electric.
Personally, I'd use 50,000 all the way.
With 12/12 Start, direktly to 50.000lux?
10min ago, i screw them up to 130w each panel(260w total)with 37.000-40.000 lux

4ft x 4ft=600w
re problem:
..no problem ..this clones yellows unlike the rest i have..i wish the others would

Why do you want the other ones become yellow too?
600w on 4×4 = 37.5w/spf
How close is your light?

good question..so the chorophyl comes out of the leaves more
as for w/sq ft and closeness.
you know closeness is realtive to how many actual diodes one uses
and the wattage each diode is run at..so its never a constant thing unless all these are equal..
answer
i have alot of diodes and run at lower wattage per diode so i get within 6"

Ok i understand (just at the end)
Chlorophyl taste uuuugly
So you prefer less distance,
Does it makes a different(with strips) if your light is 1 feet 50.000lux(maybe 330watts)
Or 2 feet 50.000lux(maybe 400w)
Iam up to 170w each panel(340w total )
1 feet distance +50.000 lux
Ppfd calculator says 800ppfd

Sweet. Just keep it that distance and move as they stretch and keep an eye on them
Iam at day12 skunks growing great(6-7inc) , nice Big stems, and Bushy.
The amnesia are Double in high(8-12inc) much more high growth (Bit stems to) ,iam Not sure how they will stretch(i am a Bit afraid that they stretch too much)
VPD is +-1.0

Glad to see its going good for you.
Oh the joys of juggling different strains..... lol
Either raise the skunks up to the level of amnesias or bend the amnesias down to even the canopy .
You've probably another couple of weeks for stretch to stop.
You're asking the wrong person re VPD, I don't bother with worrying about technicalities like that!
Keep it simple I say, correct amount of light, one bottle of feed - Tomatorite - from start to finish and good airflow works well for me

Oh, yes i cant grow just 1 strain, i need MORE
The skunks is under 1 panel
And the amnesias are under the other panel
So i can raise The amnesia panel higher ,
A hope they dont stretch to much(day and night temps are pretty close
I am Happy when i have done the first run

Why would you want to take the chlorophyll out of the clone leaves?

The phone app's results are limited by the quality of the light sensor in each particular phone.

I run 2300w (1100w at the wall) of LED in veg on a 20/4 cycle then flip to 2 x 600w HPS (Sun master Super) for flower at 12/12 or 13/11.
I don't want to get into a row on here but as good as LEDs are for veg I've never had decent results from them in flower.
In veg LEDs keep the plants short and stocky, but in flower the buds are small and I struggle to get 0.5/0.6 grams per watt (actual at the wall wattage)
Under HPS I regularly pull 1.0/1.2 gpw.
Just my 2 cents.

The fact that you listed two different wattages for your LED makes me think you're using blurple, yes? (Based on the old marketing gimmick of listing the potential wattage of the diodes rather than the actual wattage being drawn.) Massive difference between the flowering ability of those cheap blurples and a proper white-light LED fixture using good COBs, strips, or Quantum Boards. Most peeps around here see well north of 1g/w with modern LED lighting, with many approaching 2g/w.
I want to know too , what kind of led did you jused?
