First time grower with SILS on micro grow

[PCBuds]

I think i've seen some guy some years ago that tried it, it didnt work mainly because how much nutes the plant needs at different stages and some other things i think..
I think the conclusion its that it could work if you set different aquariums for different stages of the plant. That balance between everything you know.
But the plants seems to always love the water from aquariums

I think that all you need, is the right fish in a single aquarium... lol

Yeah the korona app is just for iphone unfortanly..
How close are you reading buds?close on each diode or the closest to the bulb in general until the highest readings?
It seems your sensor is not capable of more

For sure they did better when I moved it up about a foot.

I didn't know about the white paper. That is certainly going to make a difference. The bulb itself claims 32W and 4500 lumens.

Korona App gives readings in ppfd, Daily Light Integral, and lux. If you pay you get the Kelvin scale unlocked.

*I'll try the app on my old 5s and see if I get different readings.

By the review on migro on youtube i think i has par conversion also. He even compared with her more expensive readers and the readings were pretty close.
Either way that is the app with the best reviews if that even counts for anything.

Thanks greenheart

I did both.
I had the sensor all around trying to get the highest reading.
My phone sensor seems to be only able to read a maximum of 18414 lux.

I'm going to try another light sensor app to see what happens.

But I think it's my phone that can only read up to 18414 lux.

I went to put it on the 5s. When I searched Korona I got all kinds of Covid apps lol. I searched Lux meter and it came up.

I should mention there are other locked features. Selecting Light source is one of them. I don't know the difference measuring light from a LED vs Sun vs HPS and the rest but it seems to think there is one worth paying for.

This app only calculate ppfd from the lux reading of our sensor...10000 lux of a 4000k 80 cri led is ppfd 140 umol(photons)/m-2/s-1
10000lux * 0.014 = 140ppfd

So new gadget arrived
My ultrasonic fogger, 12€ not bad at all, but it needs a fan to spread the fog around, otherwise it will be stagnant in the recipient.
I need a smaller fan to diy a humidifier to spread the fog better and evenly

I doin some tests and it seems that it holds the humidity on the 50/52% rh..i guess if i lower my sxctration it would be up, but i think i prefer to add a wet towel..at least i dont need to go to the cab so much disturbing them to wet all the towels

I liked a lot of the review of migro on youtube..its a shame that you need to pay but in the end its a business like any other

10000lux * 0.014 = 140ppfd

So im getting even less than that on my youngins
By the math im getting 100/110ppfd..
Should i get it higher to a greater 300ppfd for a good veg?
The thing i can get them close of the ligts but then we dont to put in thd equation the intensity of the sil?
I guess it would be better to add lights until i get the readings that i want?

Yeah, it's my phone.

I get the same maximum with all the apps.

You can see how the graph gets cut off.

What about just add 300-400W of leds per square meter and grow some plants under them. You will know if you need more light.
Those apps and phone light level sensors will not do the job of a real ppfd sensor. Don't expect them to do it.

Yup, I agree.

I'm just going to watch my plant to see how she reacts.

I've got a few past grows with my lights that I can use for comparison.

^^^^^^
Exactly

PS i have found a leftover of a last year grow
C99 or critical+ idk, 0.05 litre "pot"

The lignified stalk

If i find a way to resuscitate my last phone i can upload also the flowering plants

So day 16 for my auto girl
Side by side (left one)

 

[Sampas92]

I keep turning the pot around as she turns her leafs

My photo is pretty perky and with a good grow, the 2nd set got a jump in size

Some side branching starting to grow

 

[Sampas92]

The older girls are the ones that i dont like how they look

The way the pics were taken, from above makes the colors real funku..
The green is not that vibrant, is a more natural green and the green of the bud sites that are visible is that healthy lime green
But in this new home the temps are always between 16/20c i cant manage to make it a biy hotter, also the passive circulation is working in theory but i think they lack air circulation even with the door of the cab slightly open..the leafs look down..she is drinking more. I notice the soil gets a bit dryer faster..
Also the smell is not so intense with lower temperatures..
Peace

The plants are starting make pistils?

Can be that they are starting flowering

They show pistls by a week or two by now.

I notice that the leafs of my youngins are much more tender than the others of my older girls..
They are so tender and really soft, i want to rub it all day kkkkk
