    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I tried taking my pulse pro outside to measure PPFD but its out of wifi range. I used a lumen meter on my phone just to get an idea. inside the netting i loose about 5%. I think its worth it to not have to worry about caterpillars.

    First grow, flipping to flower.

    Yes, HLG Scorpion Diablo LED with 2 HLG UVA supplemental LED strips and 2 Orphek Blue 410-480nm LED strips I had on hand from my old reef tank hobby. From what I've read and what I've seen so far the increase in blue spectrum keeps the node spacing super tight. 800ish watts at the plug using a...

    If i'm not mistaken, the temp that matters is leaf surface not ambient. That is why LED tents can run hotter than HID tents. The LEDs don't increase the leaf surface temp as much as HID bulbs do

    3rd try 4x4 indoor, finally got a female

    I should have mentioned my VPD is based off leaf surface temperature which typically runs 5-7 degrees cooler than the ambient air in the tent.

    Soil Testing

    Is there a set parameter measurements where cannabis or plants for that matter will thrive? When I was doing reef tanks, for example you'd base your test results on water that was tested from the Great Barrier Reef and adjust your system to match it.
