I don't know what happens to the potency and yield of the run if I raise the lamp to much and dim it too low... I don't want to make it "bad weed"

Ok so I will raise the light and dim it down so they can recover from the light stress... What do you say about 22 inch (56cm) from canopy and about 60% dimmed? Is it too high and dimmed too low or is that a good start to let them recover?

It's hard to dial it in this way because 900ppfd at a given hight and percentage is a lot of variables.... I could get the light easy 32 inches (81cm) away from canopy... wouldn't that be to much? And just hang it higher and dim it down? just to let them recover? And what do you think about...

Ok so you say dimming the light down (or raising the light) was the right decision? I've dimmed them to about 60% i think (idk right now because lights are off i cant look) I check the EC all the time... so now i should just wait till the EC is falling again instead of raising? and if its...

I've used this site too but when I compare it to the ppfd map of the manufacteurer it doesnt add up... Mnaufacteurer says 1900ppfd and the website says 1000-1200 ... so who should i trust...? I think the manufacteurer ppfd map is closer to the real ppfd sinc ethey have measured it with this...

spiderfarmer SF 4000.... they were a little under the recommended 18 inch but thats still 1400ppfd on 100% based on their ppfd map.... and since my light was closer than 18 inch it was even more .... on 12 inch their ppfd map says max 1900 ppfd.... so yeah it was a lot!! I think i fried them...

In my vegging tent the thermometer read same leaf temp as room temp... so yeah I think the thermometer is working fine... maybe the leafs are so hot because they dont transpire anymore because the leafs are very dry and crisp... what do you think?

I've tested the temp gun right now and the temp it shows is the same as other thermometers. 3-4 different thermometers all show about the same value. The leaves are dry as fuck maybe she can't evaporate because the leaves are so dry and that's why the leaves are so much hotte rthan the room...

I measure leaf temp with a infrared thermometer... But the battery is almost zero sometimes it doesn't even react turning it on or the light of the display is very dim... So yeah I think I've fucked up on the battery side... So you also think I fried my plants with too much light? I've dimmed...

You may be right the battery of the thermometer is almost dead... maybe the thermometer is faulty... Ok so over 1000 ppfd without added co2 is too much so yeah I think I have stressed them to much with 100% light at about 1500-1900 ppfd... And thats why the stopped eating and they look like...

Yeah right burnt leaves were due to high EC but what about the dead crispy fan leaves? I really don't know what the problem is but I had a lot of problems with this run and often the light was to powerfull. I've dimmed it down in veg because they looked awful and they recovered after that... Now...

Looking at my notes it's even worse... about 1 month ago they stopped eating... I've always thought they will be eating again soon but it did't happen. Sometimes the EC dropped slightly but most of the time since then the EC is raising and I only add water... So they have this problem a long...

hmm ok... but I can't find the reason they are not eating... The only thing in my mind is the light was to powerfull or the VPD way to high... nothing else changed... mid flower they stopped eating... before it was all good had to feed everytime. Now only water no nutes... The only thing that...

So you think dimming the LED was the right decision? How much do you think I should dim? A lot until they've recovered or just 10-20% and wait till the recover on their own? How much ppfd would you recommend max?

Ok week 6 started now so yeah maybe by end of week 8 they may be ready? Hmm what do you think is the problem? I have very high VPD... above 2 easy... Leave surface temp is too high and room RH is too low... room temp 80f 27C leaf temp 86f 30C RH 40-55% That makes VPD very high... 2.5 kPa...

And I know the leaves look terrible... As I said I think I light burned/stressed the shit out of them and that's why their leaves look like shit... And dried but still hard to pluck. Not like leaves dieing from not enough nutrients which pluck easy or even by themselfs... EC constantly rising...

Haha ok so you also think it's better to ride it out than to harvest early like some others here? You can take a look at the picture of the bud it's really not ripe right now...

This is a picture of a bud of the hermie plant. They are not really developed I think. And I don't know how potent they already are.

Not even one gram in storage right now. I stopped growing for a while and now I've started again. With a new setup. Powerfull LED and so on. First time using powerfull LEDs. So yeah no weed in storage right now. I'm scared of harvesting too early since I read a lot here that a lot of people...

If it's just sacs on 2-3 branches of a plant with about 40 branches or so then I thought it wasn't that much. It's a farely big plant. Main stem is very big and a lot of branches.
