I started recently this new plant and I’m surprised at how short it’s growing.
Do you think my lights are too low and I should put them higher to force the plants to stretch a bit or is it good this way?
Also I’m surprised by the leaf shapes on the first two “levels” (nodes ?)
Thanks!
For my light, it’s 40 cm for seedlings to early growth, 30 cm during growth, and 20 cm during flowering. Usually, the manufacturer provides such information in the datasheet or the light’s description. If necessary, check online.
To what power level have you currently set the light?
There is a free app to measure your ppfd which is how much and how intense the light is for the plant. The app is called photone. You can tape a piece of printer paper over your camera as the diffuser to get a ball park. Then Google ppfd for seedling, veg or flower and you’ll be able to dial in your lighting.
Right, I have it, I totally forgot
I’ll try it out and let you know. It’s its appearance that made me doubt. Also the first TWO set of leaves were not the 5 points ones so I was worried since I’m counting nodes until I can start manifolding
Will keep you posted, thanks for the reminder!
I have noticed that with one of my lights. One tent looks a completely normal colour and the other looks like I’m using an old hps or something without my flash.
Yes. The camera sometimes can’t process that correctly.
Then your one lamp has more warm white and the whole image is already in the orange color range.
That’s why I always turn on the flash.
