I was looking for better hydro nutes yes but i am using up the fft that i have and not seeing any major isses. This is the smoothest auto run i have done. As for the gaia green im using the 444 all purpose and the 284 bloom top dress. Im not mixing it in the water.

Has a nice calculator to tell you how much to use. Sprinkle on top of soil mix in by hand the top water. I would add a cal mag as i have noticed that problem but thats it

Greetings, brother.
Do you top dress the fiberglass wool cube, or did you fill your pot with soil verse clay pebbles?
Take care

63

Okay that all makes sense now thanks so much man.

Also just got my lux meter and I put it under the grow light and it just says 1? Not sure why

64

The gaia green im using in my soil grow

65

Got it figured out. 7.09 PPFD

66

Greetings, brother

You wil have to do your YouTube videos on the operation of your meter abd conversions there is alot of theroy and math in PAR, DLI, PFFD.
I strictly use DLI because it mainly used in the cannabis industries. When you read up on this it will explain what you need under PAR, LUX, and so on.
Take care

67

What should I be aiming for ?

68

In flower 1000ppfd or so

69

I have the lights 18in away at 50% per the manufacturer

70

Greetings, brother.
You saw my DLI chart for 1st week to 12 DLI.

71

Okay I my grow light timer set to 18/6

72

Okay I think I got it figured out. Do I times whatever I get by 100 and then put it into the calculator?

For instance I got 322 so itā€™d be 32200 and that comes to 715.

Bingo therenyou g9

74

Thanks you a G. And does that seem too high? Isnā€™t the PPFD in seedling stage supposed to be 400-600

75

Yes you can lower it a bit. 250- 500

76

Okay Iā€™ll turn it down to 25% , noticed last grow I had it at 24ā€™ away from the seedling and I noticed it started to reach kinda. Itā€™s at 18ā€™ and will be at 25%.

77

The light manufacturers should have recomened distance and setting for each stage on their website or in the owners manual

78

They say 18ā€™ at 50%

79
Growth Phase PAR Level (PPFD)
Seedling / Clone 100 ā€“ 300
Vegetative 250 ā€“ 600
Bloom / Flowering 500 ā€“ 1050

Go back to the link I sent you with the orange chart for DLI. Its in this link for autoflowers.
I like the week by week numbers for harder buds instead of growth stage.
