I have downloaded a app to check the lights intensity theses are took from the base of the plant and top of the tallest plant. If any ine has anymore info to what is the best light lumens

I think that it may have 600 for veg and 600 for flowering… What do you say?

I think this would help: https://social.growithjane.com/t/growing-cannabis-at-home-a-guide-for-beginners/46806?u=eli1

I am worried because I’ve had excess of light problems in the past. Now, I don’t use more than 400watts for a 1x1x2 tent.

:man_shrugging::ok_man: 600 u mean on the light app thingy

Would i be best having the light set on,only veg and not both VEG/FLOWER




I have just turned it on veg only so it is not on full spectrum now … im a lil confused just gunna rol with it :fearful:

There are many thareads talking about lights. You can look for them using the magnifying glass (on top right of the site). I am sorry I can not help more, I never remember this sort of information.

Lux isnt all that important. You need to read the PAR at different distances. The light manufacturer show give you PAR map.

So i just leard i havr took some readings what is the ideal range im looking for

I mostly grow based on DLI. Daily lighting integral. This is the chart i use. Everyone grows a little differently. So it could vary depending on your setup.

Seedlings ------ 200-300 par. DLI around 15-20 temps around 80f… RH 80
Vegetation----- 500-600 par. DLI around 30-40 temps around 77f… RH 75
Pre-flower------ 550-700 par. DLI around 30-40 temps around 77f…RH 70
Flower stretch-- 850-1000 par. DLI 40-55 temps around 75f… RH 62. (More par = more Co2)
Flowering fruit-- 850- 1000 par. DLI 35-50…temps around 70f…RH 45 (More par = more Co2)
Ripening‐-------- 650- 800 par. DLI 25-40… temps around 65… RH 35

This is with the light on just veg these are the readings, high n low


And this is with both VEG and BLOOM on!. This is full spectrum i believe :thinking: i can achieve the ratings u mentioned above like this

Light i use is full spectrum. It doesnt have a veg and bloom switch. So that part of it i wouldn’t be much help. But, for best reading i take mine at the highest leaf. Then i adjust the intensity dial or light height to get the numbers im looking for within range.

I’d recommend looking at your user manual and seeing if it has a ppfd map. And height recommendation for different stages.

I could only be guessing if i was to try an give an answer, i looked up light and saw with veg/bloom on its equal to 600w hps light but idk nothing about hps or lighting really as i only use a 600w which idk if is a true 600w lol

Big enought

Im probably gunna need to by an exhaust system that i can control temperature with is that possible?
