    LED light intensity

    That sure seems like a nice device. I've seen this one that's a bit more budget friendly https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162880110267 But I question whether or not it's a quality device. Anyone have one of these? Is there a calculation to find...

    LED light intensity

    So from this, I'm getting I really should have a par meter. So you have one you'd recommend? My setup is small and although I'm tech savvy, it doesn't extend to lighting where specialized training is helpful. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Little help! Think I’m ok

    Not sure if this is a problem or a fortunate thing

    I don't think it's heat...my temps have been below what is generally recommended for LED lights. I think it's just a genetic thing. Hopefully it'll just grow and grow.

    LED light intensity

    Thank you for the response. My setup is just the same as it has always been it's just that the light is different and from what I've researched there is a learning curve. So far I've screwed this up lol. I'm treating it like my HID system and it's clearly not working. I think CO2 might be an...

    LED light intensity

    "Well your first problem is believing in what the 'grow bros' on youtube think is best. Guarantee for failure. Do your own research, look at the real scientific studies done by credentialed people. Not some guy who's claim to fame is growing illegally for 12 years. Or dropped out of university...

    LED light intensity

    Ok so back to a follow-up question to my original thoughts.. I've been doing a lot of research on light intensity. While I know and understand that a measurement of PPFD is the only way to truly know what is reaching the plants in any given place on the floor, I'm don't want to over think this...

    Not sure if this is a problem or a fortunate thing

    Initially, I had the light about 20" above. Now it's about 13" above and running at 80% vs. 100% for the last week or so. It's about 40w per sq ft right now and I'm going to leave that for a week to see what happens. If the results don't change...I'm not quite sure what to do next. Turn down...

    Is a PAR meter what you need?

    LED light intensity

    I, too, dimmed my lights to start and it seems as if grow rates are slowed which makes sense..maybe too much sense for LED's. I've got a plant that looks like it topped itself, has curved knarled leaves on one arm and it seems as if it can only be one of two things that have caused it. The...

    Not sure if this is a problem or a fortunate thing

    Hey all.... I'm growing under a 200w, dimmable, 3500 citizen cob setup that is about 13" from the tops growing in FFOF, 2x2, 4 sq. ft. The light is currently at full power. I've not grown with it before, first time. My last light was a 400w hps. I've currently got two plants going. A Jack...

    Sativa madness

    I've got 4 sq ft, temps have been running 80 to 90 lights on and humidity has been a little low at about 30%. The Jack Herer seems to be responding well but the papaya is knarled at the top. I'm running citizens clu 48 @ 50w per square ft. I started from seed and am 4.5 weeks in. Something...

    Is 50w per square ft undesirable?

    What distance are you running your COB’s

    Possibly but it hasn't hurt in the past.. It varies between 25% and 40%.

    What distance are you running your COB’s

    I'm at about 13" right now with no issues. I'm running a 200w timber light one cob per square. ft.. I started dimmed at 50% for about 10 days and 20". Full power after that and gradually lowered over a week. Don't know if that was the perfect combo but it seems to be working now. I'm 28 days...

    LED light intensity

    UPDATE Well, I had to leave town on family business for a couple of days and gave them a good watering before I left last Thursday midday. I got back yesterday and check them, they were very nicely recovered. My inclination is to bury the stems however I don't think I want them under any more...
