I’m confused. How do figure vpd without the leaf temperature?

Okay maybe my response was too vague.

I use pulse products for my VPD. In flower my day temps are always the same high temp with in 1 degree or 2.

My average is about -5.

My pulse unit automatically takes that into consideration when displaying my VPD.

Here’s the difference between my TrolMaster display showing my VPD and my offset with Pulse

So this is why I don’t check because my offset is always shown without needing to calculate

It’s too hard for me to go by distance really hard to get right. I measure the par adjust accordingly.

This how I got the information for my light. It shows the height and percentage and par? This guy did it for me/us?

AC Infinity T22 Light Height / Dimmer Settings! Real World PAR Output!

Am I missing something ?

Ahh. Makes sense. Boy your really dialed in.

@Mpower11

Now your night at 78 is kind of high… 72 would be better if possible

I may interrupt flower stage to put some a/c in. We’ll see.

@Mpower11 lux meter? par meter? It’s a new world for me. Says you can us lux for plant plants but par is for plants? Difference? Can I convert lux to par?

I watched most of this video you could go by this but no way to confirm your on target 100%

Is your light only 100W?

[Mpower11]

@Gunk

I have fully control I can adjust my settings and hold any temp / RH all day / Night…

The only part is Semi auto is my Ac… Only way to Ac correctly that I can think of is to install a mini split ac unit but cost is more than I want to spend… So I make do for now until I think of a cheaper way to do it.

A lux meter can be used for HPS lights Etc… Anything but LED.

For Led’s you need to a Par meter and they are not cheap… Be careful on Amzon alot of meters they say par but they are lux meters…

This is my gear

1. This is my go unit Fast any easy to use just not cheap

2. Pulse Pro is a nice option does alot more than just Par readings so that’s a nice bonus but par reads take longer to get because of the setup… Once again alot of $$$

Pulse Pro

3. Photone App You need to buy the LED option I think it’s around $10.00 you have to make a paper filter to go over your phone… Not really a big deal… At one time I compared the app to Apogee meter and it was only about 10 to 20 par off my meter… So for the price it wasn’t a bad option.

Yes. This the actual specs. The other was t22. I have s22. So the video is not for this light. Sorry about that. I’m in the process of researching a par meter. I know what you mean. I want to know exactly as well.

It’s only 6$ for the led app photone. I would have to purchase through my iPhone. I’m a little Leary about it because of past fraud issues. I will reconsider based on like you said there not cheap but good.
I’ll have something soon. I definitely see the importance.

This is my goal. Once this a/c is in I should be able to manage this small space with no problem. I’ll just have to finish this grow first. I decided not to interrupt my grow. I could possibly damage something.

Thanks. I will. Thank you for sharing this

By a gift card then you don’t have to worry about you CC card on file… Just a idea

Lol. Ran right into that. Lux/par meters. I quickly realized I needed help.

lol At this point I’m running out of general knowledge to share with you… Your getting close to understanding everything from A to Z but I’m sure something else will pop up… Haha

[Gunk]

Yes sir. You have provided some vital information. I’ll be able to have more predictable grows in the future. thank you @Mpower11

[Mpower11]

Leads to me a thought I think we talked about it but I don’t remember 100% are you adding Carbs / Sugars now that your in flower?

I would even add fishShit into the mix… Bring on the terpenes

I am. I will get a picture of lineup and ingredients/amounts. I’m away at the moment. Basically it’s general hydroponics. Flora Nova grow/Flora Nova bloom/Floralicious/Liquid koolbloom. I add hydroguard to this as well.
