20 hours, how many seconds in 20 hours?
60x60x20=72,000s
Ppfd x 72,000s will give you the exact micro moles.
You want 40 dli?
40,000,000÷72000= 555.555 the recise ppfd to use to reach 40moles in 1 daylight cycle.

The max DLI you want to put on autoflowers is 44 without CO2. You can experiment with that number but that will get great results.

I'd say between 30-40 Dli. Sometimes they will take the top end of that scale Sometimes the lower end. Start at 30 and see how they react.

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now).
I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.Setup. Lighting

Best LampsDear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting.
Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet.
Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regardsSetup. Lighting

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both availableRight lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 250w immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!Setup. Lighting

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?Week 8

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.Setup. Lighting

Low budget lightI don't know if this is the right light. I'm gonna leave it for a week but if I don't see any kind of growth I'm gonna replace it with some good light.
But since it's a wooden box I don't want to put a big light, maybe some stripe or bars, any low-budget suggestion is appreciatedWeek 2

Need to upgrade grow lightI'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?Week 4

Lamp replacingI replaced my current Viparspectra V300 300W led lamp with a Viparspectra V600 lamp
600W. I immediately replaced the new light with the old one. Do you think that switching from 300 watts to 600 can be dangerous for my girls?The conditions remained the same, the temperature andSetup. Lighting

Light scheduleI am doing an outdoor grow and also have a grow room set up for germination. Outside is only getting about 14 hours of light, is it beneficial to bring my girls in under my LED's for 4 hours to make sure they're getting a full 18 hours of light? then bring them back outsideSetup.
