So I believe I’m over thinking my lights and also maybe to much in one little tent hell 2.3x2.3 idk I have a SF 1000 and TS 1000 with two white widow autos. They seem to be doing okay so I think. Question is what par is reasonable for them at 16 days old. I feel like I’ve stunted them some because I kept messing with the levels. I currently have them around 450 now at around 20-24 inches and this is currently what they are looking like one has some odd markings but in pretty sure its in its genes bc i noticed rhem from the time the broke soil.
Also I haven’t really seen them so much praying with where there at and it’s been very little growth in the last 3 days. I’ve cranked up lights to 50 on dimmer on both today to see how they react because I had them daisy chained together and I stopped that because of it being two different lights.
I would say your ! I’m still new and on my first grow, in a 2x2 as well, but sounds like you have about 200 watts between the 2 lights in a 2x2 giving you the desired 50 watts per sqft. I would say 450 par is a good number as you are in early veg now. If you haven’t read the thread on DLI it is helpful. I personally, if in your shoes, would be increasing the light every 2-3 days until I hit about 45-55 DLI.
Start using DLI
The SF 1000 is 100watt and the TS 1000 is 150 so you think it’s about 200 altogether I’m not certain how to check so it has me wondering about it bc I think I had the lights to low because I didn’t notice that my photon app wasn’t calibrated on android so I went ahead and got the app on IOS since it’s calibrated correctly so they say. I will check the DLI once I’m back do you think it’s fine where I have them at 24 inches where I have the two lights in there instead of 1
I’m still new I didn’t realize th TS was 150wt so you have 250 all together. With IOS I do know you need to use a filter paper. Let me tag some people who are more experienced @dbrn32, @PurpNGold74 @Docnraq @Low
Yeah I use printer paper over the camera on the IOS one
Your girls do look happy! Don’t stress it, you will get it dialed in.
Also after cranking them up today I think helped because I just went to check on them and one of them is praying up which haven’t seen lately so that’s a better sign to see i think
Plants look great Growmie, what medium and watering or feeding frequency are you practicing
This is not necessarily a good thing especially this growth stage. Praying or pointing leaves can be indicative of too much lighting intensity
They look good in the pictures. All of them honestly. Happy plant I see there
As of now there getting just a basic PH based water because I’m using like a 50/50 mix of FFOF And Happy frog with extra perlite in the mix. With the FFOF having a decent bit of nutes in it I’ve held off on feeding. Also I’m only having to water every few days by just doing a finger test and seeing how wet it is below the top case it looks dry. Today I just started some LST methods it’s my first time doing this so not sure if I did it ok but I was afraid to mess them up or break them
That medium mix will feed the plants for approximately 4-6 weeks. I would start checking the run off PPMs around week 4. Set a target input and run off of 1000 PPMs and 6.5 on the PH
.
Increase the distance from the main when watering it’ll promote root growth….let them spread out and search for the water. I would recommend a drench to drought routine in a week or so. Looking good Grow Bro
