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.

Lamp to Plant distance - Outdoor.
If growing outside, what is the best way to calculate lamp (star) to plant distance for the journal each week based on time of year and rotation of our lovely planet? I am being facetious, of course! It's just a fun question for you all. Hope everyone out there good!

Plantulas deben estar bajo luz?
I have a 240 watt 3500k quantum board LED. Does anyone know how long it's recommended to give them light with it? It has a dimmer, but I don't know if they need light in the seedling stage. This is my first time starting a grow with LED. Before, I would just put them in the sun for a few hours and that was it..

Is your machine helper leaking light?
Everyone has their ACs and dehumidifiers and whatnot machines in the grow space. Are you covering every little light of those machines in the flowering chamber? Many hermies will be avoided with some aluminium tape. Stay safe, cover those lights and grow ganja!

Light analysis??
I used the photone app in order to get these numbers that are pictured below ! I’m going to research them but I’d thought I’d share them anyway.

Flip light schedule
1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. Thoughts

PAR/PPFD and light height
PAR/PPFD: does light height matter if your PPFD is in the right range? Another way to ask: is 300 PPFD @ 2 feet the same as 300 PPFD @ 20 feet, or are there other factors involved? (assuming heat, C02, all other non light inputs equal)

Hello I wanted to try 2x Strawberry Pie Auto from Fastbuds soon. And I'm unsure about my equipment. All the data I can give you is in the picture! Is the 300w lamp too bright for the tent? If the lamp is fine, how high should I hang it?

Flowering lights never turned off
Power outage messed with my system and lights didn't shut off. Need a little advice. Should I just stick to the original schedule and she will just get 30 hours of light for one day or should I turn them off.

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periods
I 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?
