ppfd Levels


The Villan

Recommended Posts

As someone who’s dabbled in mushroom growing ;) 

 

I can confirm that mushroom bags as you call them @Amnesialocal definitely produce CO2 and it doesn’t take too much to elevate the ppm by a couple of hundred in a small bedroom sized space :) 

 

As someone once said “more is betterer” lollol 

 

I recently saw CO2 levels in excess of 800ppm :thumsup:

handy to have, even a £30 cheapie from Shanghai, this one, the Uni-T just needs to divide the figure by .017 to find PAR

Bought the same after reading this thread.

Thanks for the cheap idea.

Measured top canopy center

95,000lux!!!! = 1,615. PAR !!!

I guess I will reduce to 7/10 my light intensity.

Yeah, I've cooked this last batch of mine in the lazy cupboard, and I was at 1300+. By the time you notice it, the damage is done. Every day a school day, and I'm please to know that after 1000+ PAR you need Co2 or amazing airflow to take advantage, which I don't so I'll be saving money dimming my lights next round.. :yep:

Great stuff on here. Was gonna start a thread but this saves clogging the board up. I've had bother with foxtailing the last 2 grows and was pushing the light levels at 1000 lux. Gonna stick to 850 max for this one and hope to avoid any bother.

Yeah,

I had to turn my light down in the Bloom-room as things were going a bit fox tailed too :)
