hey i got a question for ya but dont want to hijack your thread wit it ill post it in mine now...

 

[wonderblunder]

How you feeling?

 

[theloadeddragon]

just woke up again...... still really sick, time to take more med

watered all the indoor girls, they are much happier now

Gotta raise the HPS 6 inches tomorrow, and really gotta trim the bottoms of em and make clones

Pk cuttings are still holding their own, didn't notice any roots, but they are looking lively

 

[theloadeddragon]

I will take pics tomorrow after I raise the lights and do the trimming...... they have started clustering nodes..... pistil packing will be delayed by about a week because of the lower growth trimming...... almost lights out time

Hope your feeling better.. I'll stop by tomorrow and check out you pics..sounds like your perp system is working as planned..I may do something similar..

 

[wonderblunder]

Sounds like things are going well in your world. I need to take pics today of my plants, everybody is doing well. DO you know anything about footcandles? I have a hydrofarm light meter, measures footcandles.....

 

[theloadeddragon]

the gist of it is a foot candle is a lumen......

here this has a better explanation

http://www.theledlight.com/lumens.html

I recommend reading through the whole thing
it explains a little bit about lux as well

this is an easy lux calculator

here are some additional formulas any grower may find interesting

And one of the most important issues coming out of all this is figuring your after the fact PAR

I hermied Twilight E in the flowering room..... its coming down in a little bit..... night to day temps are fluctuating too much and it got too close to the light.... I raised the light..... pics won't be till this evening or tonight....

I still want to know how you're doing this ebb and flow with soil. you told me to wait and I'm still waiting!

 

[greenfirekilla420]

I'm here only 26 pages late hehe.

 

[wonderblunder]

I hope my temp fluctuations dont hermie my girls. THanks for the info. I just updated with some pics. It is coming together a little better.

 

[wonderblunder]

any stress to some degree can cause hermies?

 

[wonderblunder]

I have a little calculating to do but I think I am in a good spot with my light coverage. When the mover is on the opposite side from a plant Im still getting over 1000 lumens per square foot. Directly it is over 5000 lumens per square foot. I moved the light up higher so I can get a bigger footprint. about 2 feet from canopy.
