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.

Light upgrade.
I m thinking of moving away from my mars 144 to the mars ts1000 mainly for white light over pink. Is the ts1000 a good light and worth it. Compared to the mars 144?

Light pointed at white wall for supplemental lighting?
Does it makes sense to have a small 300W COB LED pointed at the white flat painted wall for supplemental lighting? If I point the light directly at the plants I would surely burn them but have no space to move back.

Light strips
Opinions on led strips down the poles of my tent for extra light or saving up for an upgrade.... I've been talking to a fellow grower and I know I need more light in order to have a better yield. I thought 4 light strips would give light from each side plus on top. Whatcha think?

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering? The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds. Thanks in advance

ViparSpectra P600 or P1000?
I'm just starting with a small setup (40x40x100cm tent), only one small plant at the time, but want to be able to grow proper quality in long-term. I suppose the biggest difference between the two lights is the 930 vs 1006 umol/m2/s? Any advise appreciated!

Max temperature?
Max temperature accepted with lights on? I don't know when to use the lamp at full power, but when i tried i had 30°C at pot level with the lamp around 65/70 cm from the plants... That's too much i guess.

How can I prevent these light burn issues?
It seems these Mars hydro lights are not so great. This is my third grow and having the same issue every time. Red stems where they are exposed to light. Yellowing leaves. But when I move the lights further away, stretching is very bad. Should I just get new light?
