Just lifted the plants today … they were 22-24 inches from top of plants … now its 16 inches from top of plants
If you can believe the PPFD charts, which you can’t since it only measures light at one point directly under the light, then you need to raise the light back up.
A PPFD of 1000 is extreme and requires lots of additional nutrients and water and CO2. A PPFD in the 400-700 range would be better. According to their chart, the plants directly under the light need to be 30 inches away to be safe.
I discovered that the blurples with 10w diodes are much to bright directly under the light, but the light falls off quickly just 10-12 inches to the side.
Pk so lower the plants back to how they were ? I dont wanna burn them … i used a 3 way meter and it shows right under light 2000 next to the plant and where the light doesnt hit at 700 -800 on the plant in the back . … so is my light to strong ?
