Jdillayoyo Germed fast, straight into CANNA Pro Plus for all except Tangie who went in an 18L DWC. Would be interested to know what people thought about my lighting in regard to PAR readings. Would also be interested what you guys think about using BIOBIZZ for DWC, seen a lot of people saying don't do it but I have faith. Any advice would be welcome. Happy smoking guys let me know what you think!!!

I worry about the overlap of the two lights. should i be using the PAR info from the vivaspectra 900w instead as that's basically what i have?

i have just been kinda guessing 1/3 further than specs will mitigate cross over from lamps in the middle and lower light levels at sides.

Hi mate, everything looks good from here. If you are worried about it, download the light lux app. You can use your phone to measure lux which can be converted to PAR. MigroLight have a great video on youtube about it. 60000 lux is around 500 PAR. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

Have lux meter for my phone didn't think to try to convert lux to par. my phones sensor only read up to 3750 lux so I borrowed a friend and checked. I'm getting around 7000 lux at canopy level with the lamps at 50 inches so all good for now :). @BraveheartGenetics cheers mate!

No problem buddy. You want about 15000 - 20000 LuX for seedlings. Converts to about 200 - 250 PAR. Happy to help, good luck and happy growing

m.youtube.com/watch If you use white light then watch that video. You can buy a cheap lux meter from Amazon and he converts it to PAR for you. I find this really accurate . The lux on the phone can be inaccurate unless you calibrate it with a trusted lux meter.
