The gorilla glue from Mediseedman has wasted no time absorbing the fresh new spectrum of intense rays being emitted by the two, 40w (80w total) full spectrum led tube lights from MarsHydro.
I’ve been using a very clever app called Photone that measures par, ppfd, lux, colour temp and dli. You use a piece of paper wrapped around your phone camera to disperse the light and measure as you would a par meter. I downloaded the ‘led full spectrum’ set of specifications within the app in order to measure more accurately.
Currently the settings for veg are:
Lamp~Plant 28cm (11 Inches)
PPFD - 400-420 μmol/m2/s
DLI - 35-37 mol/m2/day (24hr lights on)
Illuminance - 21400 lux
Colour Temp - 5200
I’ve done a little bit of research and found these settings are all in decent ranges I think that’s why I’ve had a burst in growth! The flower tent got an adjustment too using the Photone app. I found that the dli, colour temp and lux were all too much but the ppfd was ok. I adjusted the dimmer on the tsw2000 to bring everything down a bit. The ppfd now sits a little under par (😝) but the dli, Lux and colour temp are correct for this stage in flower. I wouldn’t have made those changes without the aid of the Photone app it’s great tool highly recommend!
I can’t tell if she sprouted two single leaves with slight deformities or if two of the top 3-leaf leaves lost their two side leaves somehow 🤷♂️🏽 becoming single leaves ? Also she seems to have two side shoots coming predominantly out of the top of the plant, has she topped herself ? Can’t wait to see what happens over the week under these new lights
Thank you MarsHydro the new VG80 grow lights are kick ass !
Shout out to Photone too great app! IMO
