What's up yawl! Just trying to figure out a few things here before I commit to this project of mine.
My setup is pretty legit, I've got CO2, Dehu, LEDs, and a bunch of air circulation. Super clean, detailed, and tidy environment. I've got 3 lights and I'm trying to see how I can maximize production per light. I've been thinking that if I understand the below questions I'll be able to potentially control how much I can produce.
Here are a couple of questions I have and wanted to see if I could get some direct insight.
Basic questions is, LEDs go from 50% - 115%, I'm assuming that with the increase of percentage, and the distancing of the LEDs from the top controls the PPFD produced. So in short I would have to run tests like, at 60% and 18in from top what's the PPFD, etc.. Is this correct?
On a 12/12 schedule with Gavita 1700e LEDs what should my PAR schedule look like? I've read 600-900 PPFD is optimal, but I have also read that 1500 PPFD with supplemented CO2 can maximize the growth.
How would I measure how much CO2 to supplement to the plant, based on the par level? I want to make sure I'm able to provide the perfect amount of CO2, to PAR ratio. Not sure what the scientific terms and approach to this would be.
On a 18/6 schedule, I've read that 400 - 600 PPFD is optimal, but I've also read for top threshold for optimal grow is 1000 PPFD. What's your guys experience like?
I've also read on this forum that lowering the PAR in bloom increases trichome production, but I wasn't able to find out in what week of bloom would this lowering have to happen?
I have complete control over the environment and I also want to understand how temperature plays a role in this, do I have to adjust the temperature based on the PPFD or CO2 I want to pump in the room?
I hope these are too many questions that require complex answers, but I am trying to get an idea before I stick anything in there and start messing around.
Appreciate ANY and ALL input!
