Thanks PF for the input. I have her in a net pot inside that solo cup. I'm thinking of taking her out of the solo cup for a few days to see if that helps her dry out.
Yaaaaayyyy!!! Ok, I feel good about myself again! Or maybe it's the Premium Jack I'm puffing on. Naahhh...I'll give the credit to Dick! Thanks man. I'm glad you found my humor.There ya go BA, I liked your post!
We all have our moments, even on the best of days lol
10-4 I will wait it out. I am going to stay away from watering for at least the next 2 days. I think I sprayed enough over the past 2 weeks to take care of California's drought situation.
#1 is directly under the middle of the light. It is 14" from the light, probably a little closer since the last time I measured (2 or 3 days ago). I used the Photone app to get a PPFD reading of ~480. I'm using the Bestva Pro1000 at approximately 25%. I haven't measured the actual wattage yet honestly.
Hmm, odd that it grew like that then. Im not sure what would cause that unless its just from the stretching. I have both of my p1000's in the tent running at about 40% on the seedlings. I noticed that one plant wanted to turn towards the other light as well. I just rotate them for now til they get bigger. I have not measured the wattage yet either, I forgot I had the tool for that haha
I was going to respond on your journal about this statement and the pics you shared of the charts that they provided. Every company (@GrowTina ) should strive to providing that type of information to their customers. Other sponsors watching and reading should seriously consider making this a standard! It is critical information that most manufacturers are already getting anyway. Why not provide the consumers all the important data?! Just sayin...
You think I should turn mine up some more? I was reading on the Bestva @GrowTina chart that I should be a higher distance and increased power to 60%. It would be great to see that alternative power setting at a lower height in order to save energy. I'm basing my PPFD goal off another grower's recommendation. I cannot remember the source but I managed to remember 400-600 PPFD for seedlings.
Light hanging heights and intensity recommendations are just that, recommendations. It's more of an average of what plants like, but every strain could be a bit different. The 400-600 ppfd is a good number to be at, I read that somewhere as well, but seems like your plants want a little more. I'd turn it up some to slow down the stretching on your plants.I was going to respond on your journal about this statement and the pics you shared of the charts that they provided.

I just need to figure out when to increase the light and to how much at the right time.
I haven't even hung my second Bestva P1000 yet. Haaa haaa. I will be hanging it on the rear right quadrant. It's currently in the background in a couple of my pics on the floor.
Thanks and I agree. I turned them up this morning to roughly 40% on the dial and didn't change the height. They do seem to be stretching huh. I honestly thought it was bright enough. One of the joys of growing under the sun...no need to worry about that!
Yes, I did that last night. I didn't get a pic though. I used a piece of wire tie that came with a power supply from one of the lights. Dug it into the soil and wrapped it up a little to keep it stable. I also snapped that little branch last week. I think it may still be a weak joint and not strong enough to hold the weight of the leaves like you mentioned.
I encouraged their manager to get on it and order some. They were familiar with it and one of the guys has even used it. Then why not carry it?! I'm going to be honest, I love seeing the big ass granules of mycos! Watching it slowly break down and continually inoculate the soil just makes me believe it is working wonders. I have used and still have some other very good mycos products. This one is my favorite to use this far. It seems like I waste so much less!
but glad I made it!
