Seedlings 150 - 200 umol / DLI 10.80 - 14.4 moles per day Veg up to 9" 450 umol / DLI 32.40 moles per day Early bloom 500 umol / DLI 36.00 moles per day Mid bloom 650 umol / DLI 46.80 moles per day Late bloom 750 umol / DLI 54.00 moles per day Ripen 400 umol / DLI 28.80 moles per day *** Use extreme caution going 700 umol or higher @ 20 hrs/day this could cause leaf burn*** PPF measures the total amount of PAR emitted from the lighting system per second. PAR is the amount of light in the 400 - 700 nm color spectrum that can actually be used by the plant. PAR does not measure the amount of UV and Infrared that plays a part in trichome formation and cell quality. DLI is the total amount of PAR the plant has received per day Our goal is to have a minimum DLI in the 38-40 mole range when it bloom. https://www.waveformlighting.com/horticulture/daily-light-integral-dli-calculator https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/news/horticulture-metrics-par-ppf-ppfd-dli Growing your plants with the optimum LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) ranges helps them absorb Co2 to properly conduct photosynthesis and allows the root system to adequately utilize water and nutrients. Using average leaf temperature is the best way to calculate LVPD. Measure this temperature using an infrared thermometer. LED lights tend to have leaf temperatures lower than atmospheric temperatures in the grow room. Growers using HID, Fluorescent bulbs typically will have temperatures higher than room temperature. With HPS leaf temperature can be 8 - 10 F higher than room temperatures due to the amount of infrared emitted by the bulb. Recommended LVPD Seedlings/Early Veg 0.4 - 0.8 kPa Late Veg/Early Bloom 0.8 - 1.2 kPa Mid/Late Bloom 1.2 - 1.6 kPa *** Danger Zone*** Below 0.4 kPa / Over 1.6 kPa https://www.dimluxlighting.com/knowledge/vapor-pressure-deficit-vpd-calculator/ https://vpdcalculator.com/vpd-calculator https://www.blackdogled.com/lst

Week 2 Update They are throwing out some nice leaves. A little bit concerned I may have a couple of "Hot" pots meaning the soil mixture may be a bit too hot. I say this because I see some discoloring around the edges of the leaves. I guess I'll see what happens over the next week. Still no nutes and keeping watering to a minimum. One plant is about a week behind since I had a couple of duds.

Week 3 Update They are throwing out more leaves. Look like they are about to start stretching soon. One plant is showing a bit of tip burn still think the soil may be a bit too hot for these plants or I didn't mix the soil up well enough and a couple of pots were hotter than the rest. What ever they seem like they will pull through it either way. Just using Biorhizotonic, Mammoth P and water again this week. Keeping watering to a minimum just the top few inches of the pot not to the point of run off just yet. I see a few roots starting to poke out the bottom of the pots which is a good sign they are chasing the moisture deeper in the pots.

Week 4 Update They are starting to stretch. Watered to the point of a slight run off for the first time. First run off measured was up around 1500 ppm. Leaves are still showing a good shade of green so no nutes until I see my ppm's drop under well under 1000 ppm and I see the lowest leaves start to lighten up in color.

Week 5 Update These girls took off with their stretch. 2 are pretty tall, one medium sized, and one short and sweet. Gave them some nutrients one is looking a bit on the hungry/pale side see if I can get her to green up a bit.

Week 6 Update Looks like they are done with their stretch. The tallest is 36+ inches which is too tall for my set up may be a good candidate for topping or fimming conbined with LST to control the overall height. Bud development is modest at best no signs of any frost on the buds yet. One plant seems to be wanting more nutrients and has a pale green to almost yellow coloration so I've stepped up to a feed, feed, then water schedule. Using weekly applications of LABS and blackstrap molasses solution drizzled to the tops of the pots.

Week 7 Update Pretty typical week got 2 feedings in and 1 with plain water. Drizzled LABS on surface of pots. Buds are beginning to fill in nicely. Got 2 girls holding a nice green color and 2 that are starting to yellow out on me. Probably not enough nitrogen caused by underfeeding.
