Light Scedule to 24/0
Hydronautstarted grow question 3 years ago
I just installed a new light and now have a nice even 1000 PPFD across canopy. If I go to a 24/0 light schedule will she be ok? I started at 18/6 originally.

1000PPFD on 24/0 = DLI of 86.40 - its overkill
https://www.waveformlighting.com/horticulture/daily-light-integral-dli-calculator
Once you hit a DLI of over 30 or 40 you need to supplement with co2 or the plants may burn and won't get use of the added energy.
I'd keep it aorund 18 and see how they are doing with that.
18/6 1000PPFD = DLI of 64.80 still quite high but give it a shot, just keep an eye on it, do not leave it unattended.
Also a 24/0 light schedule is not good for the plants, they need rest and downtime.
maybe if you lowered the lights dimmer to 10% that could work a bit better if your really set on 24/0
The plants only have full strength sunlight for a small period in the day. and its DLI is slowly increasing till it hits that mark then slowly decreases.
Good Luck!

Answering cuz I love your username. My growspace is affectionately named the Scroggernaut, cuz either youre scrogging or your not.
I assume you are in veg or are growing autos with that light cycle? Ya, you'll be fine switching the light cycle around, no harm done. You do want to make sure that your lights are not too close, and not too intense, as the plants can react negatively to a large dose of UV after having only a little. You may want to gradually increase the light intensity, so as to not burn the tops.
Keep fit and have fun

I would not go beyond 20/4. Plants will be healthier if they can rest, and run a cycle. Plus running nonstop is really hard on equipment. The gain to me is insignificant beyond 20/4. Happy growing 🌱

*FC-E4800 Hanging Distance*1st grow -4x4 with 480w Fc-e4800 in early veg (auto) but I am very confused on light distance and dimmer %. Apart from recommended distances, can someone point me to how I can establish the correct height and dimming % required based in the grow cycle? Currently at 30% & 55cm

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periodsI have 2 1000w full spectrum lights. Each light has 2 switches-a veg button and a bloom button. This gives 3 settings for the lights-veg only, bloom only and both lights on at the same time. What settings should I use during Veg and during flower and how close should I hang them?Setup. Lighting

ViparSpectra P600 or P1000?I'm just starting with a small setup (40x40x100cm tent), only one small plant at the time, but want to be able to grow proper quality in long-term. I suppose the biggest difference between the two lights is the 930 vs 1006 umol/m2/s? Any advise appreciated!Setup. Lighting

MaximumI have the LM-3100 Light Meter app on my iPhone using a piece of paper to diffuse like it instructs but I am not sure what the optimal Lux/FC should be.
Specifically for LED lights, it is confusing. I have a viaspectra P2590z what’s the max/optimal light?

Trying to get setup rightI know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plantSetup. Lighting
