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.

Heyho So apparently my plant got bigger than I thought. After stretching its only 30 cm from the Mars TS 1000 (Its already on the highest possible position) And I'm running it at ~80% Do you think I can turn it up to 100%? It's always nice to go here Thanks for helping H. G.

WHAT IS CAUSING MY LEAVES TO CURL? (Day 64 pictures)
The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?
What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

Seedlings struggling
This is day 10 since they popped out and it just seems as if my seedlings are stunted. I kept an 85w CFL about 10cm from their tops for the first week and then raised it up to about 15cm for the next few days. They had humidity domes. Temp was 20°C-24 in day

Light height and intensity
Hello all. Recently I upgraded my lights to 2 mars tsw 2000. I've noticed my plants are growing slowly compared to everyone else's. I have it set at 24 inches 25%. However a mars hydro admin posted 12 inches 75% during veg? Isn't that like 1500 ppfd? I'm so confused.

6 weeks of veg? I got only 3
Why do i see some auto or non auto diaries with 6 week of veg? When i grew non auto i just had them 3 weeks then switch the light time and changed 400w to a 600w. I learned that because they used to get hella big. And in Auto seeds i switch the spectrum after 3 weeks

Looking for a good budget light for a 4x4 grow. The Voost VST240 looks like a fantastic spec but no real information out there that I can find. Any users? Also considering a Migrow Array when the bigger version hits the market.
