Here is “the proper chart.”

This is @Nicky ’s amended chart. I go by his. Red line is the target DLI.

I like his because It reduces stretching. I don’t have room for my monsters to get taller. Seriously.

Lol I’m glad to have helped
I don’t understand any of it

I have to learn it instead of winging it

Yeah it’s proving to be a challenge… I am not understanding it all either.

The important thing is you have the Photone app, and you measure your canopy all around and average around 50 DLI according to the app.

The free light choice “sunlight” or daylight or whatever they call it is the best one anyhow. No reason to buy the fancy spectrums.

Haha no not at all. I’m not a science brain by any stretch. I just find out exactly what I need to absorb and don’t sweat the technical stuff.

Like VPD. Way over my head but I understand I have targets for humidity & heat because of VPD. Whatever that is.

And corresponding chart. :joy:

Is there a reason DLI is better than PPFD?

No real clue, honestly. I was able to understand DLI. PPFD is :airplane: whoosh.

Lol I am sure you have heard many sad stories! :sob:

@Graysin How have you been today?

Pretty good. Swamped in work (haha what else is new?) but no complaints. Kicking myself for not having a timer on my lights in the garage cuz I don’t want to stay up long enough to plug em in :rofl:

My male plant finally started growing balls. I can almost pull him outta the tent and shake his pollen free :v: pumped for it. Weirdly. :laughing:

I have but usually it was drunk people dropping phones in toilets or dads with tshirt pockets bending down to pick something up and forgetting their phone was in the shirt pocket :rofl:

I think I might go with an IPhone this time… any body want to chime in about good phones between the IPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy 21. Especially for taking good pics of buds and Trichomes!
