Yes, but I am learning the power of this led compared to a hps. Started bleaching leafs so I turn it down. Just to turn it back up a week later. I feel like I'm going into flower with my light not turned up high enough. (400 ppfd) about 24 inches from the canopy
How often should I increase my light? I'm only on setting 3 of 10
How are you measuring ppfd?

I use an Apogee MQ-610 Par Meter. I would highly recommend a par meter if you don’t have one. The Apogee MQ-500 & 600 series meters are the best on the market.

I veg my plants pretty much exclusively at 400 ppfd 15/hrs a day with mostly indica dominant strains (other strains may prefer as high as 600 ppfd) When I move them to flower, they start anywhere from 400-600 ppfd and are maxed out at 800-900 ppfd within 2 weeks for me (usually within 10 days). My target for the canopy is even 800 ppfd coverage.

Also, the primary benefit of a bar light is being able to run it close to the canopy. Fluence has a recommended hanging height of 6-12 inches. That’s the same height I run my bar lights. That will allow you to run a reduced (lower percentage) light output and produce the same ppfd. You will get significantly better efficacy out of your light which will: 1. reduce your electricity usage 2. Increase your lights overall lifespan 3. Decrease heat.

Just to give you an idea, I’m running 2 light bars totaling 600w over my plants. They’re hanging approx 6-12 inches over the canopy, dimmed to 45% I’m getting even 800-900 ppfd.

I don't have a dedicated meter just a phone. I know it not as accurate. I'll be getting a par meter soon

I want to enduce co2 soon. I would like to keep my temps in check. Been running 88f sealed with a co2 bag. I'm waiting for my controller to show up next week. They could look worse.

Got my controller. Now I can see where it's at. Been anywhere from 550 to 700. I have a co2 bag. Too broke for a tank. Get that later. Here is a pic from today.

Thank you. Had a few issues with ph a week ago. I hope it's fixed. It doesn't look as good as it could. Oh well. I think I'm going to run some clearwater genetics rainbow belts x pablos revenge. Hopefully that grow is dialed in better.

Had to pull my net. Seen some male flowers on the lower bud sites. Cut them off and removed some more fan leaves. I did stress them several times before getting things right. Hopefully there isn't any more.

I have 6 strains of there's. After this run I want to do clearwaters rainbow belts x pablos revenge. I have a few different packs of seeds from different breeders if I'm not a fan of these.

Been struggling to keep temps in check. 82-86f day and 72-78 at night. Not sure what I'll run into.

Here is a update on the NY Mayhem and Dankarooz. Starting to put off some good smells.
