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.

Can rotating my 12 hour cycle back a few hours over the course of 3 nights harm my plant mid flower?
If i were to manually flip my lights on and off an hour early for 3 nights to adjust my 12/12 from 9am-9pm to 6am-6pm would it be detrimental to the plants? They are in the 5th week of flower. Rotating back 1 hour each night

Lumatek attis 300W
Boa tarde Farmers. Tenho um led Lumatek attis 300w e estou a usá-lo com a luz a 100% ( está incluído um dimmer que dá para regular de 20 em 20%). Queria saber se há algum problema usar a 100% desde a fase inicial ou se existem valores específicos para cada fase. Muito obrigado!

what is correct light schedule for indoor germination and seedling, and then transplant outdoors?
I plan to grow a photoperiod plant outdoors from spring to fall, but the germination and seedling stages will be done indoors. For the indoor part, can I use a setup with 18 hour light schedule? Or should it be 12 hours? I don't want to trigger flowering when I put it outside.

I'm currently using a Giixer 1000W LED grow light. The lamp has two switches. One for "blue" light ay 450nm and one for "red" at 600-700nm. I am currently in week one of the vegetative stage. I have both switches on for "full spectrum" lighting. Blue or Red switch alone?

Should I substitute sunlight with a grow lamp on cloudy days?
It’s overcast here today and I’m wondering if I should turn my grow lights on to compensate for the lack of direct sunlight. If so, should I drop the intensity to compensate for the additional natural light? Can you overdo the amount of light (not heat) a plant gets?
