Make sure you toggled to LED for your light options

Yep and I make sure that I was using the correct diffuser. In the settings have an option for paper diffuser so that’s what I used.

I tested the app. And I’m getting almost exactly what the factory PPFD map says. The tops are getting 1500ppfd, the lower canopy is getting 950ish. I’ve got to be getting extra CO2 from the pilot lights. My little bit of research tells me that much light should be burning the plants without CO2 and everything else in check.

Some plants can take the intensity without flinching some take time to show where they were stressed, id be worried more about dli than ppfd.

Heres the calculations. Ive never heard of DLI. Good thing to know. Looking at numbers…. It looks like my DLI of 108 is quite high. Theyre eating it up though so who am i to stop them? The lower canopy is getting a more reasonable 68.

108 is way too high, even with co2 augmentation they will and can only use up to the 60s . They might look fine now, but i promise if you keep the DLI at 108 your plants will burn. Like i said, some strains take longer to show the damage. But id turn your lights down or raise them or whatever it takes to bring that down.

Heres a good basic chart to follow, one for autoflowers and one for photoperiods. The darker color shows what the plants can use with Co2 and the lighter color is what the plants can use without Co2.

Photon app will give you dli right on the screen. I've had plants touch my lights with zero sunburn

Were you running DLI in the 100s when that was happening?

I measure it at the average tops. But sometimes you get a tall ass plant. The blueberry I just grew was up between the light bars with no damage to the tops

yeah my Blueberry Blizzy is testing the limits in my tent as well. Its in a 2gal fabric pot of Fox Farm Happy Frog/Mother Earth Coco+Peat and perlite. I wa strying to use small pots to keep size in check but its still almost a 3ft plant after tying the top down. Looks just like yours but smaller lol.

So youd recommend just keep doing what im doing? Watch for stress, but keep the intensity up
