Increase PPFD from Seedling to Veg?
MMSC16started grow question 18 days ago
Hi all!
Is now the time to lower lights/increase PPFD?
First set of 3-fingered leaves are developing. Plant is only 9 days old.
Really don't want to stunt autoflower, but want to get the most out of photosynthesis as early as possible.

25k lux max up to 40k lux max on late veg. But start of with the 25 after 10-14 days.
Your plant has another few days to go before needing more lux. 12-15k is all that's needed for seedlings
250-350ppf
To 5-600 max fr veg & pre flower not beyond 1000 during fattening and 6-700 during ripening
But as also said below DLI plays much more a role in autos
Between 45-60k DLI throughout their lives increases in dli with same hrs builds big buds. So what's important for autos is to boost energy by extra ppf over the same amount of hrs from start 2 finish. How autos work..
Fems u need 12 but can do 13.5hrs on with 730nm IR used to change the photochrome.
Good luck they look healthy and not leggy so I think maybe ur light is too high.. or perfect. Anyways looking goo

if you can measure the light ppfd sit them around 100-200ppfd for another week, then slowly adjust it overtime throughout the growth cycle, you can find ppfd charts online for cannabis plants give them a look, if you do not have anything to test the ppfd download the photone app it works pretty damn good but you will need some sort of diffuser, you can either buy theirs ''photones'' or make your own by folding a regular matte white piece of paper (22 lb or 80 g/m2) around your front and back camera, tape it lose so you can re use it ;)

Look up DLI and get some PPFD maps from your lights manufacture for your tent size.
Cannabis can take aorund 35-40 DLI max at best, I run mine close to 35 then 40.
You can also judge is the light is to close or not by the space in between the inter nodes.
Good Luck.

The main stem of one of the Gorilla's had to be bent down. I have noticed that the buds seem abit small for the age and that her main stem is really bendy. Is it abit early to tell if they will get bigger with time or is it because of the stress?Week 1

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?Week 1

I had 2 air lines in this 1 bucket. The only thing I did different was take one of the air stones & line I had out of the bucket to start a forth bucket. Could me taking away that extra air be the problem & can I save it by adding it back or is this more of a nutrient burn?Week 1

What did I do wrong here. These girls are growing slow. They were slow before I topped them, which I know I messed up there. But there’s not much going on. They look healthy just sooo slow growing. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? Or just wait and see what happens?Week 6

if possible, Judging by photos, roughly estimating, can anyone tell when WW1 will be ready for harvest? (Recent photos are marked WW1 week 9 end). Lower buds are very loose but have some brown hairs. Tichomes look clear / cloudy to me through 40x loupe. Cheers!Week 9
