I know 1000w HPS is more than they need but I only have 4 × spider farmers sf4000s with dim function
Thanks for your input
I know 1000w HPS is more than they need but I only have 4 × spider farmers sf4000s with dim functionI may be a million miles off or a decade or two away but 1000 watt HPS is way too much for seedlings .
Way too much .
Maybe I missed something .
I use dimmable LEDs myself .
I ve been growing in tents with air cooled reflectors and LEDs for a while.Wow that’s a big grow space. Is this your first run?
yes they need more light. But steamroller is right hid is not ideal at this stage. But it will work.
dr Bruce bugbee has some testing on seedlings and they can take way more light than you would think as long as all the other grow conditions are spot on. Spectrum is important tho and your current light is not ideal for this early. I’ll be watching to see how it goes sending good vibes.
Yes all same genetics, sprouted and planted at the same time.All the same genetics?
Tomorrow I will also share ppfd levels and keep you updated.I’m not familiar with lux numbers. I use a ppfd meter.
looking forward to see them on another day or 2
Tomorrow first thing. Of course I will need to use my phone since I dont have a PAR meterI would start looking into the ppfd measurements.
Exactly broHey I'm on my first grow too. Its good to learn and (grow) together.
Photone is going to be as accurate as phone apps get. Migro reviewed it and it did well. I'm sure each phone probably introduces some variance.I have my lights on for 24 hours also.
I used an app called photone but wasnt that accurate so I ditched it but I will try the one you reccommended.
Thanks for sharing your experience
It was actually my bad with all the apps.Photone is going to be as accurate as phone apps get. Migro reviewed it and it did well. I'm sure each phone probably introduces some variance.
What kind of LED do you have?Actually more like here. Not sure why the first one showed so high.
yeah a little bit. but they should be fine. play with the light a little bit and see if that does anything. if it doesn't, just plant them deep enough to burry the stringy stems, and adjust the plants so they're at a good height.Hi everyone,
Do you think my seedlings are stretching?
All I have is 1000w HPS at this point. Its 3rd day of my plants and I placed HPSs 130 cm above the plants to avoid too much light and heat exposure on them.
I know seedlings like a lux around 6000 but I dont have a meter therefore I cant be sure.
Any input will be highly appreciated!
how old are those?I have the mars hydro tsw 2000 in the 4x4. Yes That's what I used for these seedlings.
