I use photone and set my light for 8Dli for the 1st few days then increase it to 10Dli for a week and keep increasing every week until I get the plant to take about 35/40dli. That is from my phone, its took me a while to find the sweet spot for my lights. It takes a few grows to figure out what the plants can and can't take at various stages of the grow.

If you have a smart phone download yourself a ppfd meter app, such as photone. That way you can measure the light in either ppfd, DLI, or lux and you will know how much light you are giving your plant. A seedling only wants around 150 ppfd.

Vivosun does not have a 1000 watt led lamp. Look at their official website, search for your model led and check the manual with all the specific information and instructions about your lamp.

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!6y ago

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)?
I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!Setup. Lighting

That's part of the inside of my closet in my room, so it's made of wood. Can I set up an HPS and HQI lamp in this space? And what about the heat?Setup. Lighting

Danger of HumidifierGood morning everyone.
So I've recently set up my new TS1000 and I'm wondering is humidifier dangerous for LED lights? It's directly under the light 60cm. And how can I regulate the temp in the room without new equipment? It's too high at the moment.
