@GWC710, thank you! As a new grower I’m happy they’re so healthy. 1) I use ppfd settings. I use the Photon app but I bought the package that allows it to work with LEDs (like I think) and I also bought the diffuser (15-20 dollars I think). I know it’s not as accurate as reality end par meters but I think it’s accurate enough for my current needs. 2) I adjust the ppfd for each stage. Seedling 200-300, veg 500-600, flower up to 900. Keep in mind this is only my fourth grow though so I’m still learning. 3) I actually do use the VIVOSUN grow recipes but I modify them. I do use the seedling/veg/flower lighting spectrum though since each growing stage has slightly different light wavelengths. I figure if it offers that I’ll use it. But everything else I adjust, like times, light percentage, fan timing etc. I yielded almost 8 ounces from my last grow (Emerald Fire OG) off one plant with a less than full canopy and many rookie mistakes and still had a good yield. The kit is quite capable imo.
