Your immediate response was that if you can't get help, you fail. Piss poor attitude out of the gate. First change is right there.

I run a full time farm, I'm on call 24/7 as an independent consultant/contractor, have 4 kids, building my house, 3 lawns to mow, fields to plant... etc. Yea, I have a lot of shit to do too. That's life.

Asking is a good start. That chart, also a good start. That chart is giving you good numbers to work with and heights. Use your meter at 18", record your lux at those locations. Use it as a cross reference to find the right height. That's about all the advice I can give you. I don't know shit about these lights.

Fuckin good start, tho..,

Can someone tell me what my meter should read to be in good numbers for ppfd/lux with four qb132 and mars hydro ts1000 light on veg tent right now. Don’t have qbs on but I can turn them on if I can figure out how high everything needs to be.

Don’t know if this helps you.
No idea on the Mars, but
I have 4 qb132v2’s 3500k in a 3x3 and devide lux by 70 to get ppfd. I have this documented (heights,watts,lux/ppfd)in my journal as it’s my 1st grow in 20 yrs.

Really smoke told me it was only good for one or two plants max veg

See my note about color scale and footprint size; if correct, you’ll have to talk with him about that.....

Divide lux *****x100 on my meter?***** by 70? Okay. Then I’ll need to also incorporate that mars hydro lux/ppfd still don’t know correct terms here sorry.....

So what’s the trade off to pull that off? If I have x ppfd of quantum and x ppfd of mars hydro, add those two, and if my number is higher than plants need, raise lights until I reach lower lux/ppfd?

I don’t aim to be great. My dream is to be able to sit on my porch and smoke a joint and water my plants on the porch. I can’t do that. I don’t foresee my state changing any time soon. It’s hard to want my greatest quality in life, to be a “bad” one. It’s fuckin illegal man. If I get caught, I go to prison. End of story. This is very much a “hush hush” “sneaking around” operation.

I can’t pursue being great because I know the extreme limitations I face in the state I’m in.

You're always going to face adversity. That's nothing new. There's what you think is right, then there's what the system tells you is right. You either compromise and break yourself to conform to a system, or you stand your ground against that system, knowing full and well the repercussions of your defiance. This is war. You're still picking a side.

There are no winners in war, just survivors.

You wouldn't add them, just move lights until you get the same ppfd from the QBs as the led.

Skunk hero grows pretty damn fast .

I think that’s the cherry on top
For me. I’m grabbing the skunk Hero and OKC

 

[3rd Monkey]

My led only puts out 60ppfd at the same height that my QBs put out 120ppfd.

 

[Moabfighter]

Here’s my readings with my 4qb132 on at 18 inches. And the mars hydro is on. Level with mars ts-1000 light.

Can this help us draw any information?

Raise all my lights to 36” instead of 18” if since my readings are about double, if the initial lux reading and 18” height were ideal? Is that how that works? My lux twice as strong, raise my lights twice as high?

Little cold out I see lmao . Love the set up on all honesty .

Just google “ez cloner build”...lots of diff versions of submersible pump/mister heads/pvc cloners...w humidity dome...

Can’t say enuff goodness...you know you have your conditions nailed when you’re pumping out 95-100% survival in about 10 days.

EZ to make & use...transpkant to your nefia of choice...see detail of setup pics, cloning and transplant instructions and pics in 2nd link on my sig.

There’s a solution for that, but it’s just another choice...

I thought you said the other day you were quitting photos to myth bust autos primarily on grasscity? I thought it was you. But I thought a week before that you were saying you were going to run autos in between photos for fun but I could be mistake.

I haven’t decided entirely I can run autos in my box or my tent. Or I can go to my tent exclusively.... but I mean if you haven’t noticed I collect seeds I pick them up even if I don’t plan on running them soon.

I fly by the seat of my pants with growing. I would rather hang em high.

First, uncap the eye lol. That eye should be aiming at the light.

 

[Or_Gro]

I didn't take it like that. I won't run automated, but still find it cool.

What strain?

Automated? All equip 24/7, just a pump and lights?

A chiller, too, in this case because i only have room in a “hot” area, concrete floor in cool area would elim chiller, which i usually can do.

Still have S2c design from awhile back . Just .. space man .

Well I can’t find the time hence my asking on a public forum in a public discussion for help. If I get help cool. If not..... guess I’m gonna fail ay? It’s 6pm ET now. Just getting home. Have to cook. Have to poop. Have to shower. Have to like...... give my son some time? Maybe talk to my ole lady some? Gotta get in bed at some point..... have 4-5 reasonable hours a day to do life. Then have to find time for extra. Where’s the time? I want to learn. Just what do I cut out? I’m seriously asking.

You take the time that you just used typing this post to email mars? Probably would have been less characters.

Then get on HLG’s website and look up your light and figure out the diodes. And then I’d be able to help at least on the QB’s. I can’t help on the mars hydro because we don’t know the conversion factor until we know that we are no help.

But we’ve been through this on this very thread already.

What's that ph/ec/temp thing? Thought that was a do it all thing.
