Quick question

[JP1]

My light is a vivosun vs2000 led.

You gotta look into that light then. I don't have that light so I don't know anything about it

After downloading that app I calibrated it and got PPFD reading of 832 mol and the DLI came out to be 53.91 reading in the red zone. Is this telling me it's to high?

You want to be around 40-45 DLI so turn it down a touch. That was the plant will still get the required light with less light hours

 

[cuban77]

Turn down the light intensity or turn down the hours? Or both?

Intensity. It's the hours of dark that will cause the photo plant to flower. What you're doing with this is giving enough darkness to flower the photo plant while also giving enough light for the auto to grow well while the light is onq

I get it, turn down the hours the light is on. If I turn it too 16 the DLI should come to 44.93.

If I do a 12 the DLI will be 35.94. that would be too low.

Can't change the hours though... If that's all the DLI you can get, it is what it is. And that's not bad at all and will totally work. Can you raise up the plants by putting something underneath them? The plants will also grow taller and closer to the light which will raise that number pretty quickly

 

[cuban77]

I'm running the light @ 18inch now. I can raise the light to 24inch
