Just flipped my girls to flower yesterday. Raise my light to the top of the tent and turned it to 100%. The new growth looks lime green, is this cause for concern? I know the new growth is supposed to be lighter but it just caught my attention a little extra today.
This is about a 15 hour difference here
Normal or nah?
New growth will be lighter as it hasn’t totally processed chlorophyll yet. Keep on keeping on. Looks good!
New growth will always be a lighter color green. Chlorophyll will fill it in with a darker green over the next few days.
My white widow expresses just that. in addition led lights give you fake colors. when I take one out and under incadecent bulbs they look darker then in the tent.
One more question. If those plants tolerate 100% now are you going to be able to lower the lights for more energy deeper into flower? gunna need it.
Yeah it’s at the top of my tent now at 100%, can lower more if needed
Light intensity in measured in PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density.) There is an app out there named Photone for iPhone and Android that measures PPFD.
Minimum PPFD guidelines:
Seedling: 300 PPFD
Veg: 600
Flowering: 800
Those are starting numbers and only the reactions of the plants will tell you how High a ppfd they can take.
I am a new grower but will be using the soft landing on fire approach.
slowly throttle down temp to 75 for late flower when it starts stacking. turn up the light and watch lots until you know the reactions. Balance stress for terp productions with the lights ( paint the nails / foxtailing) with lower temps that have proven to conserve terp and resins.
