AUTO FLOWER LED LIGHT INTENSITY
Recommended LED PPFD/PAR Values / DLI Based on 20 hrs. of light.
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***
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 in bloom.

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

Week 1 Update
Soaked the seeds for 24 hours in a shot glass with purified water and a couple of drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide. They cracked open in 24hrs. Then transferred to a moist paper towel until a nice tail emerged between 48 and 72 hour later. I've had these seeds for a while in my refrigerator. I got 5 of them to pop nicely and one dud. Using my standard bulk potting mixture with a pocket of seedling mixture to start them off. I added Mykos and Azos to both mixtures Then premoistened the mix before potting.
@DankGardener, I believe so. They did a similar cross of strains once before. I've had these seeds for a while Hexus grew some mosters via hydro which is her deal. It's very difficult to get Mephisto they usually release only a couple of times a year then sell out in hours. Seems almost like they are creating an artificial shortage to keep their prices high.
Following your lead on this one buddy, and watching closely. I'm happy to see you have the Canna Rhizo as I was directed to pick up the rhizo xp for seedlings to create a happy/heathy rhizosphere👍. Picked up some ProMix as well and won't subject the little ones to such a heavy super soil right off the back. Thanks for your help man, and for real, I'm watching this close to see if I can replicate your results. If not, I'll keep trying and bugging you with questions😀. Cheers dude and happy trails
