How old is your guys plant ? send a pic or comment

For sure and that picture does it no justice. My camera is terrible even tho I have a fairly new iPhone

How do you calculate micromoles? I’m running right over 1,000 ppfd in flower with 18/6 cycle which I think is definitely on the higher end but I wanted to experiment and push the lights this run

Dude I tried to look that up. All the info is confusing as hell. Way above my level of smarts

Guaranteed!

Mol stands for molecule. It’s the unit to describe the density of gas’s, liquid’s or in our case, light.

PPFD means photosynthetic photon flux density and the unit it’s measured in is micomol per m² per second.

PPF means micromol per second (so we only measure the light output but not the density.)

DLI means mol per m² per day

So the short answer is, PPFD=Micomol per m² per s
and that’s what he means. It’s basically the same. He only said micomol but he means micomol per m² per s, or in other word PPFD.

Micromol is just the unit we measure our lights with. PPFD is not a mathematical unit it just means photosynthetic photon flux density.

There is a great video by Bruce Bugbee, describing all this.

I need to watch this and learn. But if ppfd is essentially the same thing, is there a need to over complicate?

Micomol per m² per second is just the unit to measure PPFD.

I’s like saying my bank account has 1000$. Than is bank account = PPFD and the unit to measure it, is Doller=Micromol per m² per second.

See, that I can understand you’re awesome lynx!

She’s getting nice and solid. Should be chunky by the end.

Huge bush, especially for an auto! Great work!

Decided to harvest the little one at day 75, 1st ever harvest. I know I could’ve gone abit longer but wanted to try the recommended end of cycle. I have another plant of the same strain that just entered flower so will definitely let that one go longer and compare the 2 results

I am going to try increasing the nutes a bit this round. My plants usually start eating on themselves at this stage.

Lynx_361 I try to buy high yield strains and the octopots help a bunch.

So I ran into an issue and did an experiment. My 3 moon fog were drastically bigger than my notorious thc. So I did a heavy defoliation and topped every branch. The hope is that it would slow growth so the notorious thc could catch up.

Here is march 21st

Here is march 28th

And here is today

This allowed the runt to catch up a bit. Still think I’m gonna have to raise it up with blocks to keep my canopy even. On the plus side I learned how resilient this plant is.

Its gotta be healthy to get that kind of cut back. But, as you see you can do it. Looks good. I had to do the same about 2 or 3 grows back. Not quite that much cut back but i cut every branch down about half way to even the grow out. I created a lot of tops but, i found that the branches were weaker and couldn’t hold the weight of the flowers well. That was my experience. Hopefully you wont run into that.
