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 š±

Idiot - new light, wrong sized grow tentSo Iām an idiot. All this time I thought I had and 80/80cm grow tent, when it turns out itās actually 60/60, and I of course just ordered the SF2000 light, which is almost 65cms on one side. Should I just order a new tent right away to make it fit? Or could it be squeezed in? šSetup. Lighting

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. Iām pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since Iām only growing one plant.Setup. Lighting
