I have been debating just trying to drive using DLI instead of ppfd. Same measurement but looking it in big picture fashion which is total light per day. I may be going about it wrong but to me it seems the complete picture (Well without spending more than I am willing to for a home grow lol)
I feel like I making some mistakes here and there though and still trying to find the sweet spot on everything but it's the first run so its all to be expected.
Your grow is looking good. I do get a little envious of being able to play with more than one stain easily. I feel I have to find balance between my phenotypes, would hate to have to find it on different strains. For my setup 1.2 I am pulling the res outside of tent just because it will run cooler and I can maintain it anytime of the day without even opening the tent. I am actually debating the setup after 1.2 will run two revivors so I can run two different banks of plants and experiment.
I think for run two I am going to run the same kosher kush and find the limit of pushing it.
I just gave myself a crash course on the PPFD to DLI conversion (and vice versa). At the very least I learned more about what these measurements actually mean, which is always nice
.
I'm not sure how I'd use DLI to my benefit though, at least not in an indoor grow where my hours are set at 12/12 and the light is presumably the exact same every 24 hour cycle. Wouldn't PPFD and DLI essentially be interchangeable at that point? Not what they are measuring, of course, but in terms of how I'm using the data)? I could see DLI being far more beneficial for an outdoor grow where you're not getting the same PPFD every sec of light-on and light intensity varies significantly throughout the day. Either way this is interesting and you've got me thinking, thanks!
Yeah, the only reason I'm able to run these six plants this time around is that they're all risers of varying heights to make up for their significant growing differences. I imagine that wouldn't be as easy to do with a setup like yours either, heh. That's an awesome idea about the external res though. I look forward to seeing the new setup.
As for running the Kosher Kush again to push for better results... well, I see exactly what kind of grower you're shaping up to be, and its the kind I like to know!
