The Emerald City

I don't think you need have them the same veg and flower. Vegging plants are usually given lower lux than flowering anyway, no?
 
She spent the day outside. Been sunny early in the day the past two days, then the clouds roll in and it's breezy by 420.

Allow me rephrase: Vegging plants usually have lower light intensity requirements than flowering, no?
 
I've never thought about it that way. But now that you mention it I should prolly move the 600's along with the new QB's to veg/auto tent and the GroWants into the flower tent. Those 240's would brighten up those corners in the flower tent nice. And that leaves the Vipar 300, I guess I could go center front in the flower tent.

that would be 1460 Watt Veg & 1260 Watt Flower. I don't have a lux meter. Is there a magic combination?
 
I'm not a lighting guy, but in theory more watts should put out more light. I'd want more watts in my flower tent if I was shifting lights around. Though coverage would be a consideration as well.
 
I didn't really think about it till you asked but the light in spring summer is more intense than autumn when the plants flower. That would be more like nature to set it up that way. I've always had more in flower. I prolly read that somewhere at some point. Guess I should do some studying
 
Farside had a table of lux he uses at each stage, and even without a lux meter you can get a feel of how much more he gives them in flower over veg.

He said:
Seedlings - 20k
Early veg - 30k
Veg - 40k
Transition to bloom - 50k
Bloom - 60k
Late bloom - up to 70k
 
My lux meter was $30 off amazon. Dr Meter was the brand. Orange and black with a sensor on a cord.

Not quite true :) there is such thing called efficiency. LED's emmit light and heat. So two different lights can have the same watt output, but one will emmit more light and another may emmit more heat with those watts :)

Thanks Katins, I don't think about heat too much this time of year. I suppose I should stick with my original plan of 1800 watts in flower, and 1220 in veg.

Thanks Sticky, Getting that Berry Bomb sign to hold still was tough!
 
Spent 3.5 hours in the garden this morning. Feeding, cleaning, transplanting, soaking 10 gallons of coir, you know the drill. Also moved all but one of the clones into the auto tent. Decided to transplant the Trinity Kush too. She may have gone a while in the 42 oz cup but I decided to put her into some coir for the duration. And the Cherry Bomb Auto is in a new home too!

Didn't have much time with TWA today, but I did manage a decent shot.
