Falstaffo's World Of Green, The 2nd Coming, Photos, Autos, Quantums & Quadlines!

Par: photosynthetically active radiation. It’s the light given off between 400nm-700nm which is usable light that will drive photosynthesis.

Ppfd: photosynthetic photon flux density. This is the number of photons striking a cm2 per second. It’s basically the intensity of the light with the par range.

Thank you for the information but I don't understand any of that. I'll ask again, is a par number of 765 a good number or a bad number when it comes to growing

 

[Pennywise]

Par in this instance sounds like ppfd, 765 is a decent number if you read that against the whole canopy.

 

[falstaffo]

yup gotcha, well i will just trust in the quantumwatts that they are giving me good ppfds lol

quite a lot of factors to these shits really.

 

[Pennywise]

Quantum’s at 18” should be over 1000 ppfd.

 

[falstaffo]

they are pretty intense..
i catch my eye in them sometimes, need to remember when underneath them, which in my flower room i always am lol

 

[Pennywise]

I always wore shades around my QB’s

 

[SlyTown420]

The day blurple light started to look indistinguishable from white light for me I picked up some sunglasses. I thought I damaged my eyes. I'm sure QB's can do some damage.

 

[Pennywise]

Better safe than sorry

 

[falstaffo]

i aways dim them as well, but the last edition, the 3k with far reds, the only has the little screw on the back, the rest have their own fitted dimmer

 

[falstaffo]

i have the green shades for blurples to renaturalise the colour. use normal sunnies under the qbs lol

 

[Pennywise]

That should work though

 

[falstaffo]

no update as of yet; seeds are in paper towels in a tupaware pot in the cupboard, had a quick check no splits yet.

my friend who gave me the seeds for the current crop germinated those for me, 5/6 popped, hope i done it ok this was my first time lol

 

[Pennywise]

Moisture, warmth and air is what they need.

 

[falstaffo]

its quite warm in the cupboard, the water tank is in there, and the lid is peeled up one end. i could put it on top of the tank is it will help but i dont know the temps of it

 

[Pennywise]

As long as it’s warm it’s fine, you don’t want it hot.

 

[SlyTown420]

I think a seedling mat top temp is 85° F.

 

[Pennywise]

Should be I think

 

[falstaffo]

3 have split, starting to see the tap roots poking their beautiful little heads out lol
1 alaskan and both the bubblegum.
well, heres the thing, i think i may have knocked the labels and mixed them up, and so maybe now the bubblegum is the alaskan and vice versa lol
pretty sure the autos i know without doubt.

note to self, when germinating multiple seeds, keep far apart as possible. lol
oh well i think i got them right

il get some coco ready tomorrow ready for planting .

You'll be able to tell the difference once they start growing.
