Search online for Daily Light Integral (DLI) chart. The chart shows PPFD and hours per day. Then you can pick the light level based on how many hours you run the light.

Ventilación y Luz en plantulas
Me inspiré en McGyver y he puesto un armario improvisado... Cómo de importante es la ventilación en esta etapa de plantula?🌬️ (He dejado la puerta entreabierta por las dudas)🤔 También he puesto otra luz auxiliar..se notará en el crecimiento o desperdicio luz?🔌🔋

Lighting coverage
Will my viparspectra xs1500 have enough coverage once these plants get larger? Or will I need supplemental lighting? And if I do need more, am I better off getting the larger model, or just getting another identical unit so that I have 2?

Change light schedule
My babies are now in 8wks, the light schedule is 17:7. I have scheduled the 8hrs sleep frm 5am-12pm (this is my sleep time) and now that I hve changed my sleep time, I would like to change their sleep time too, from 10pm to 5am. How will I change the light without stressing them?

6” three week old
I was wondering if I stunted my plants’ growth by having my lights at max intensity right off the bat. I also didn’t have vpd dialed in til 2nd week. Organic soil.My pulse one has said 96 light intensity since I got it..should I be lowering the intensity of bulbs til flower?

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?
So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3. Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.

3000 watt power use
This is my first time using such a powerful light in my opinion, 3000 watts seems overkill but that's what i want. The question IS, is it better to have 1-2 plants under the 3000 watt or worth it to manage 4 at a higher distance? Cheers. Don't keep techniques in mind.

Helloo growmies! I've got a question.. I need a new light for vegging (only) in a 80x80cm tent. I am thinking of eather the LIGHTWAVE T5HO 60 CM (48W) or MarsHydro TS 600 (100W) Has some one experience with those lights? Is it worth spending double on electricity with the MH?

Lux Meter and Hydroponics
Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.
