I work with a healthcare provider here in the states. Healthcare workers account for over 70% of all workplace injuries and illnesses due to violent attacks. We just had a company-wide webinar on how to survive an active shooter scenario (run/hide/fight). Shit's getting ugly all over.

Hello BoobirdHi Tra. Looking good over here. 4 things - Thing 1 = I personally believe that stressing an auto causes it to flower and also causes it to be a monster. I think the quality of breeding has something to do with it and JG is a mighty fine breeder; Thing 2 - yes, you can clone an auto. JG did it in his journal a year or so back I believe; Thing 3 - Why don’t you move that Wookies into your veg tent when you flip that next plant? She doesn’t need 12/12 for flower and she doesn’t look like she has too much longer to go. I’ve always run my autos at 18/6; Thing 4 - I suggest you get a Lux meter or download an app on your phone that you can check the light intensity. Neither are expensive and I think they will help your Bloom Room results if you use those tools. Happy belated Mother’s Day.
Thing 1: interesting, because I deliberately super stressed this last auto. Uppotted 4 times, topped every flower site till I was wanting her to flower and she’s my best Wookiee yet. Look that said she’s not in the jar yet, but she looks the best.
Thing 2: You definitely can lol. Mine has struck too.
Thing 3: No room in the Veg tent and I think she has a while yet. She’s only Day 24 of flower.
Thing 4: I have a lux meter on my phone. I’ll go down and measure the light after my coffee.
Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. And happy belated Mother’s Day
to you too. Xo- Thread starter

Well from what I learned yesterday, you come at me and I’ll fuck you up! Look I won’t, but I defs know how to get away from you, or hold you down.

Hey @BooWho2 so I did the lux thing and something interesting well I thought it interesting, my first Mars Hydro is the lowest by a lot. I put my phone and measured from the top of the CarCanopy. Here’s a roundup. And what kind of numbers am I chasing?

I'm not a reflective guy, think light pretty much penetrates straight down. Don't think it's necessary Tbizzal, but I'm just a outside fan.
Don't think that .0005 percent side penetration of reflection is worth it tbh.
Your plants are on point now, just snowing with glitter

What app are you using and what kind of phone? I have found that regardless of which app, if you are using an Android based phone, the results are highly inaccurate. IPhones get better results.

Well at the very least, it’s sure sparkles in there.
It’s like they live in a star lol.

Omg I just realised I took an FC measure, what ever the fuck that is lol
Android.
I’ll go get the lux and tell you the app.

Here is a link from RQS that I use (and I think many others do too). How to Use a Lux Meter to Increase Cannabis Yields - RQS Blog
I hope it’s okay to post that….
Anyway, I use a Dr. meter (I think that’s the name), recommended by @InTheShed a year or two ago. It’s an actual light meter for photography. I think it was $35 USD. If the numbers you are posting aren’t in a Foreign type of numbering system then your light intensity is very low. It’s easy to do That when you aren’t actually measuring it. I usually set the intensity of my light for each stage as recommended in the article. I was thinking today that my Mars Hydro doesn’t seem to be putting out as much light as it should be while set at 100% so I’m going to double check it tomorrow morning when lights go back on. Thanks for letting me chime in!

@farside it’s just an app called Lux
@BooWho2 sorry I uploaded the other thing.
Here’s the lux
Flower 3 lights
And this is new mars hydro TS 1000, the other mars hydro light is a ts 1000 too, but an older one.

Well I’m not sure what to do. I’m defs not buying more lighting lol. But it makes sense why my yields are less than. But the odd thing. When I first started in here my yield average was 6oz. I’m slowly climbing back.
My lights are basic as. Do they lose strength over time?
Okay then! If the app is correct, you might be a little high on Bloom 1, definitely low on the Mars Hydro, a little high on the Bloom 3, and definitely high in the veg tent. This is off the top of my head - compare your readings to the RQS chart! And others chime in!

Should I swap the old mars hydro with the newer one in the Veg tent?
And do I measure at the top of the Coca-Cola or lower?

I wouldn't to carried away with a light app off ya phone mate!! Their accuracy is dubious!
Just see how they go now you have more reflective surfaces before ya start changing lights and shit!

Morning Porkstar
Do you reckon I should swap that low reading light which is an old Mars Hydro TS 1000 with the newer one in the Bloom Room?
I thought it would be more important for the new and better MH light to be on the veggers. But in the nature of full disclosure I also thought you could suffocate and die if you put a bucket on your head, so what do I know? Lol
That’s up to you Tra. I think it’s good that you checked your Lux and It might be a smart Idea to do that swap. I’ll be interested to see what my Lux turns out to be on my MH tomorrow. I guess they may get older and not put out as much light. Do any of your lights have dimmers? You really should take a sponsorship when you are offerred (as I’m sure you have been). Free lights and you post plenty enough and have so many followers that you are a perfect match….just saying.
Oh, I do measure from the top and also lower nodes and kind of adjust so that most of the buds are getting decent light….so, you might be okay with those high readings in flower if the upper colas look okay (and to me they do) which would mean that the lower one are at a good level too. So, maybe swap the veg and flower MH?

The only light that has the dimmer is the Mars Hydro TS 1000 in the Veg tent.
Yeah I have and lots lolll. Nothing in life is free babe. Sponsored grows just aren’t me. And I have zero followers LOLLING! Somehow I’ve been lucky enough to made friends with you lot. We are like a little menagerie of grow misfits in here and that suits me fine.
It’s gonna be a cunt of a job. I’ve really organised, and tied together the cords in the flower room. But I think you’re right. I’ll swap it today.

Kk so I used my noggin. It was an easy swap. They have the same PowerPoint. Omg the new MH TS1000 is so SO much more powerful than the old one! I’m shook! So I’ve done the switcharoo. I’ve also prepped for Flip Sunday, my Ester is going the debutants ball so there will be another plant in there.. I’ll be running on sleep deprivation and limited brain cells tomorrow so I thought I’d save myself some trama and tears and do the Bloom Room Reno’s to fit her in neat today.
Come tomorrow there will be 5 in there, and as you can see, it’s squishy, but it’s a fit.

Since this isn't a PC thread, F light meter apps for Android phones. They are absolute shit. I've tested multiple apps on several different phones. None of them work with a damn. Don't be a cheap ass and skimp on a $20-$30 meter when you've spent 10-20x that amount on the light.
