With a PPFD at 300 you well only get a DLI (Daily Light Integral) of 25,9 if you run your lamp 24/7.
From what i know seedlings/you plants need a DLI of about 20, so you should be good but i would aim for a DLI of at least 30 even for small plants.

Try the same PAR but with lights closer. The seedlings turn out stretchy when the lights are far away

Par is lights output, wavelengths and such area covered and so on
What you're needing to understand is ppf/ppfd.
4-450ppfd for a young veggin plant.

I Made a Big MistakeI forgot the timer open and the plant has been lighting for 2 days now. Normally I have to turn the lights off at 6 pm. What should I do?
Should I wait until 6pm? Or should I turn it off and switch to a new light schedule?

How to keep room dark during flower?How important is it to keep the plants in COMPLETE darkness during lights off during flowering? Thinking of running some ducting with cut-to-size furnace filter out the vent hole on the side of the tent which supplies air right now. Will that be enough?Week 1

Hps mixed with mars hydro 600 yield?Hey all! So i been thinking about ways to cut heat of course lol. So I’m thinking about getting a mars hydro 600 and running it with my 400w hps at 250w on the dimmer. Do you guys think I will yield about the same as if I was just running the hps on super lumens?4 years ago

direct HOT sunlight on week one?Should I put her under direct sunlight? Temperature here reaches 32°C-89°F and it's not so windy, Im scared it could burn the tiny plant, I have been keeping both plants under a white mosquito net that makes the light less hot and they get some direct light untill 10 am (see pic)

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace
- should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight?
- If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedling

Are these LEDs good?What do you growmies think of these lights? They're LED's, I have 2 of these going and a few other lights. These though, I don't understand much about electrical info.

Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power usedMy LED is a Phlizon 600w but the power draw is only around 97w at the plug. Perhaps a silly question, but is my diary entry supposed to be 600w or 97w? Looking at other diaries, it looks like yield is expressed as weight/watt and want to be consistent.Other. Other

Good T5HO flower combo, 3000K and PureBloom? http://www.growagromax.com/products/t5-grow-lamps/t5-pure-series/agromax-pure-bloom-t5-high-output-grow-lamp/Thanks to all for your great advice! This is my first grow, currently in veg wk 5, using 8 x 6500K, 4’ T5HO. Flipping to flower in 2-3 wks, will use 4 x 3000K tubes and planning to get 4 AgroMax Pure Bloom tubes. Is 50/50 mix of 3000K and Pure Bloom a good combination of light?

Should I lower my light during flowering?I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.Week 5
