The Villan Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just wondering when other growers up the ppfd levels from veg to flowering. I am currently at day 12 flowering and ppfd is 450-500. Should I wait till the proper onset of pistil production before upping the ppfd ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - if you stick at the same or only very slightly elavated PPFD when you switch to flower, you're lowering the DLI which can lead to stretching. I double the PPFD when I turn the lights from veg to flower, so 450 - 600ppfd in veg to 900 - 1200ppfd in flower. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I keep mine low week 1, ramp up to 1200+ from week 2-6, then down 15-20% last 2 weeks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks m8, I was away for two nights and came home to well stretched plants, your answer made me smile. ppfd will be upped tonight as soon as the lights come on, may help with the temp aswell as its bloody cold for this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy One Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 No probs @The Villan! Since your buds so t be ready until June/July, what’s your secret when drying temps are high? (I’m in the same boat when mine are done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to suck it and see @Slippy One my first grow in this tent was last year and I didnt crop until the 27th September. Will be a learning process I am sure. Thanks for popping in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 My theory is to get the buds into brown bags by day 5, jars by day 7 slightly damp in the core, burp twice a day for 2 weeks but this all might be conjecture..and I’m almost guaranteed it’ll be 32° indoors harvest week! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I slap mine straight upto 850ppfd, any higher is pointless without co2 from what I hear, and can be counter productive. Edited May 15 by Military Grade spelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphatspliff Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Anyone got a par meter? Really want one of the Apogee DLI’s but over £500 Not sure it’s worth the money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Once you know your light do you ever need to use it again? I think ball parking with a phone app is effective enough on the cheap to understand your light 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I got it. 2 minutes ago, Military Grade said: Once you know your light do you ever need to use it again? no not much tbh, its worth its weight when setting up new rooms/lights or w/e though. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
