oh, sorry, just reread your message.. lets see if we can find some instructions for yaMy ppdf varies through out my tent but does not reach 750 should my camera be facing the light to test it?
Thank you for all the info I am gonna study up on dli and ppdf but as it stands with my screen facing the plant it reads at 1.0-1.3 and the other way it reads around 70 I am going to research and try to correct the issueoh, sorry, just reread your message.. lets see if we can find some instructions for ya
Theres a setting for red blue lights on the app, your probably reading it on the full spectrum settingYour front facing camera the one you take selfies with, place it on the head of the plant point camera towards the light and see what it reads.
At 18inch my reading is between 78 and 150 what am I missing?750 at 18 hours on for an Auto would be PLENTY, set it and forget it
Play around with it, they is an I on top left of the page, click that it has some tutorials.At 18inch my reading is between 78 and 150 what am I missing?
Thank u for the knowledge at 18in my ppdf is reading at 70-150 and my DLI for 18/6 is reading at 4.2-6Make sure it's set on ppfd, clicked the button on the bottom to pick light. Click the I in the top left to see tutorials. View attachment 1990453View attachment 1990454View attachment 1990455

Thank u for the knowledge at 18in my ppdf is reading at 70-150 for both red/blue and full spectrum and my DLI for 18/6 is reading at 4.2-6 I am considering loweringTheres a setting for red blue lights on the app, your probably reading it on the full spectrum setting
You might need a full spectrum LED lighting solution and ditch the red blue light .Thank u for the knowledge at 18in my ppdf is reading at 70-150 for both red/blue and full spectrum and my DLI for 18/6 is reading at 4.2-6 I am considering lowering
Hmm what light is this? Lemme look back you should be seeing much higher readings off of a grow light,Thank u for the knowledge at 18in my ppdf is reading at 70-150 and my DLI for 18/6 is reading at 4.2-6
Turns out my ppfd reader was wildly incorrectly calibrated when I used my wife she was getting a reading of 1250 where as I only got 70Hmm what light is this? Lemme look back you should be seeing much higher readings off of a grow light,
Are you using iOS or android? I know with my iPhone I need to use a diffuser I don’t believe android needs one but I may be wrong
Can you give us an exact light model?
It's a full spectrum vivosun with 2 settings. My ppfd reader was calibrated incorrectly. It was reading 1250 on my wife's and 70 on mineYou might need a full spectrum LED lighting solution and ditch the red blue light .
Sounds like 1250 is accurate with the way the leaves are curling up on top leaves I was thinking 1100-1200. You want the top at 900 ish depending on the plant, some will be okay at 1000 but not all plants will be able to handle 1000. The 1250 is probably the reason you are experiencing slow growth and why it is not on track for your harvest time. Easy fix get top bud site in the 900 ish or lower range and the lower bud sites in the 600 or above range. You lost a lot of time with it being at 1250 it has slowed growth and you have probably lost out on some yield, but you know where the issue is now so get them in range and she should start maturing properly.Turns out my ppfd reader was wildly incorrectly calibrated when I used my wife she was getting a reading of 1250 where as I only got 70
OK so with me not knowing an exact time for harvest when should I begin flushingSounds like 1250 is accurate with the way the leaves are curling up on top leaves I was thinking 1100-1200.

That comes with some experience with the said plant your working with. With all the diffrent strains out there... could be 50 days or 80... who know man, your there, study the plant and compare it to pics of it online or books if you have them. Easy to harvest too early, very hard to harvest to late. Just read your OP right now, no way that's 67 days into flower. If it is...get a new light bro, asap. Otherwise your gonna be chasing your tail on every grow. Good luck.OK so with me not knowing an exact time for harvest when should I begin flushing
You will need to watch for the buds to be ripe. There are many ways to do this can use phone take a close up picture, then on the picture you took zoom in even more to see the tricones ( or get a jewler loop or a USB microscope). This is the easiest and most accurate way to tell when it ready.OK so with me not knowing an exact time for harvest when should I begin flushing
Now you know what your looking for and when to harvest you need to more or less guesstimate on when to do final flush, since the plant has had light stress it will depend on how fast it recovers and how fast it starts to mature, I personally wouldn't start flushing until I seen one two amber on the buds, but I don't know the growth pattern for your individual plant so hard for me to say. Also remember when looking at tricones the top buds will show the color change before the lower buds, so you have to take that into consideration also.OK so with me not knowing an exact time for harvest when should I begin flushing
I was planning to play it by earOh also remember I am new so if others are giving a different suggestion, you probably wanna go with what they are saying, all I can do is tell you what I would do, if that's the best way or not I am not sure, but it's the best way I know.
