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? 40,000,000Γ·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.

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?

Low Humidity and high temp or high humidity and low temp?
Do you think itβs better lower temp and higher humidity (like 27 degrees c and 80 % humidity) or higher temp and lower humidity (like 29 degrees c and 60 % humidity)? Iβm just waiting for the humidifier but in the meanwhile I have to fix somehow. Thanks!

My grow kit will arrive this week. is there anything I need to watch out for considering the fact that they only have stood by the window (mostly cloudy weather) for most of their lives? I don't want them to get overloaded with the rays of my growlight π

Weak full spectrum led place in front of window enough to finish bloom?
The weather looks really bad so i guess i need to take her inside a lot. I place her inside a barn in front of the glass door but she still hasnt there much light there. I ordered a 40 Watt full spectrum LED to add on the sunlight. Just read "used power 10 W" Will that be enough

Light burn?
I had lowered my Sanlight Q4 from 50 cm to 40cm, as per vendors recommendation and now I believe that I have burned the little ones. Or is this a nutrient issue?

Lightning question
Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?

Light power
Is a 100-watt lamp sufficient? I don't consume much, so I opted for a modest light, anticipating lower yields. Can the quality match that of weed grown under a stronger light(600watt), despite producing fewer grams overall?
