Probably one of the best pictures in the hole WORLD....

Pretty much cool as FUCK!!!!

Pretty ok on the FFSBF!..it's got the richness smell, I'll bet i didn't even pull out half dozen pieces of wood products and or something I couldn't identify (Probably wood).
Id say heavier on the coco than peat. Will not compact when pressed, some compression (keep an eye on that).

These go together...it just works.

Welp...see what happens....

So this little sprout today is only this big??

Okay, couple days ago

On my phone: 230-250 ppfd... under 24inch away...( not yet watered in )...I could tell something was up, they lost speed and stopped, I've raised the light to over the recommended 24in to 30in @250-290ppfd.
The did respond to the water-in...
What ppfd@ inch away roughly?

Edit:: Auto flower..water only..6.2

I just downloaded that app and wanna compare what it reads compared to the Pulse readings.

Light does look super low. You have it set to 1 or it's lowest setting there? CLW lights do pack a punch that's usually much stronger than most other lights so it don't take much for youngsters

In that picture it's was 1, l could tell it was to much, now it's 2...

 

[doublej]

It's set to 2 but higher, figured I'd start there and ask

Whatda think? Drop power, and lower to ppfd? If needed?

Is the app pay to play or is it free? I may be looking at the wrong one. It's asking for money after a free 7 day trial.

Seedlings can really do well with very low light.
I am regretting even using my grow lights and wish I stuck with super low power fish lights I used many times before for my seedlings.
If 1 is lowest I would be at one until they acted like more would help.
Raising the light height and power is like leaving it where it was IMO.

It's free, with a side pay..

I lowered power to 1 and dropped the light to 28in. It's not much in the way of ppfd, 150-170.... and we wait...

Seedling stage is always the most stressful to me.
Seems like a grinding all or nothing phase of the grow.

Agreed, however I'm not gonna loose anymore sleep over it. Just wanna know what this light does, before I put my stuff in there

And...regs beans will be done completely different, so anything i learn hear will transfer later.

I've eyed my small 315 a couple times.
But if I'm gonna run these disco lights might as well se it threw, I suppose...

When I think about it...lmao I never ppfdfffffffD that 100w super duper ACI Bright white fkr.......himmm fk!!!

Any ideas what you want to do differently next round? Is it just a matter of figuring out what the seedlings want from that light? Looking forward to watching your grow. I looks like you're set up to grow some nice plants, once you dial everything in.

It looks like you live in some beautiful country. I'm in Virginia, but on rare occasions work takes me out West. I don't get much time to explore, but I've poked around SouthWest WA, a little. Mostly stuff within a short drive of Vancouver: Longview, Astoria... There's whispers about some upcoming work conference stuff, in or near Tacoma. That would let me see some areas I haven't been to, yet. I've heard that the Port Angeles area has some nice scenery, too. We'll see...

Good luck with round 2 of the grow.

Yes sir...
There is a heat problem with the low setting with the light.
Its was set to high and to close. Those big pots got cold. I didn't think to check that. I've given up the fresh air intake for now, and the tent with the other light on (550) is holding in the 80s RH in the 40-45%...So I'm still thinking... No more autos, if this had been regs I could've nursed these back. "Growers Error "
I'll go back down that road later...
I've gotta get some reefer shown here or you floks are gonna be like WTF WTF is this guy...lmao ....

Here i did this about 10 year ago . I'm not going anywhere. I'll get dialed.....


Washington state has some cool stuff, I'm almost to the end of dry land in the sticks out west of port angeles as I can get.
Still within drive distance .

I was already looking forward to your grow. That plant is gorgeous.

Got the correct one and bought the full spectrum LED package so I measured off that and not any other light source.

PPFD is fairly accurate. Photone was 820 while actual PPFD was 780.
It's wildly off measuring DLI. Actual DLI was 34 while Photone was a whopping 85. I think 85 would damn near vaporize my plants

I used the DIY paper diffuser so that could be why it's inaccurate IDK, but I think it's about as good as any $250 PAR meter I've used and about as accurate with the paper diffuser. Might not be bullseye accurate but gets you close enough and overplays it so I doubt you could ever have a light too close using it to measure.

When I think about it...lmao I never ppfdfffffffD that 100w super duper ACI Bright white fkr.......himmm fk!!!

I was wondering why you were using the big hunka hunka on seedlings when you have that light?

 

[doublej]

Well.....dammmmit. I took some pictures.

still green roots white just locked amazing...or...Dealers choice


Temperature has held, so i can hold the 80s now with the 820 on the lowest.

So here's today's bullshit-aeeery..


Yep

So watt....your saying is error on the high side-ish??

Edit::: got it makes sense

Yes it's saying your light is stronger than it is but not by a lot. Like around 5% more PPFD than it actually produces

Right on, thanks for that! I feel more confident going threw this. However brother...just got off the phone with CLW

This bothers the fuck outta me, they said if I could lighting it up to my satisfaction they'll send a return label, ermm! That's good

Came out of the box like this. Annoying as the low wood pile or the fucking grass that needs cut!!! Or the grass that is not growing....
Im gonna smoke a bowl and kick a couple gorilla bags....ermmmm
