Light Scedule to 24/0
Hydronautstarted grow question 2 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 🌱

amount of sunshine for autos in late flower - open air, outdoor growWe're getting 14-15 hours of strong sunshine a day. Now that I'm late flower, should I move my autos into a spot that will get shade for half of the day? Seems like they may not need to be pounded by this much light/heat at this point and could use more down time.Week 12

additional blurple lightsI also got the blurple lights from my friend. To keep the temperature down I haven't installed them yet and not sure if I will. Will they make a difference if I add them next to the current LED? If so should I wait until the flowering stage or anything like that?

Light pointed at white wall for supplemental lighting?Does it makes sense to have a small 300W COB LED pointed at the white flat painted wall for supplemental lighting?
If I point the light directly at the plants I would surely burn them but have no space to move back.

Distance from pot to light during germinationWorried about our light power and distance to the pots, should we be running it at full power with the light higher in the tent or vice versa? Also very unsure about watering amounts in these early stages and is it okay for water droplets to be sitting on the growth? TIA
