    As always another great video. Bruce Bugbee is an amazing asset to the growing community as a whole. Agricultural and personal small scale.
    Take care stay safe and peace.

      Thanks, the goal is to take some of the information already shared and summarize it and also apply it to actual growing situations to provide people with relevant and scientific based content.

    The wavelengths outside of the PAR/PPFD are achieved in my grow room by using 'Finishing Bulbs'. I use 2 types: 1. A high UV MH 1000W bulb, ( less than 400nm ) and barely any infra-red and yellow spectrums, ( 750nm - 550nm ) the last two weeks of vegetative growth. This improves flavors and aromas. 2. A high IR HPS bulb 1000W, ( greater than 750nm ) the last two weeks of flowering. This is in agreement with Dr. Debacco's data as this causes the calyxes' to swell 35% - 50% more than if just kept on a Full Nova spectrum HPS bulb, thus increasing yield gains per SOG/SCROG ratios.

      Thanks for sharing your experience, there will be a video coming out soon comparing some of the options regarding CMH bulbs that will be similar to the concept you have shared here. Great to see contributions from people in the comments!

    The light intensity won’t decrease by 25% it would be 75% for a given area at twice the distance. You would be only receiving 25% for given area at twice the distance

    I just added a UV/IR light to my grow, the Mars Hydro UR45. It seems the UV is UVA. They are on independent on/off switches. I'm trying to figure out how often and when to use them during the grow. When would you recommend using the UV/IR during the grow? This will be for autoflowers. Thank you!

    • @DeBaccoUniversity
      @DeBaccoUniversity  2 роки тому

      Step 1 would be to reach out to the manufacture to see if they can provide any recommendations. UV and IR are what outdoor plants naturally get so the plant can use these spectrums.

    hey brother i have a question, i have 4 plants which are sitting at 300 ppfd and they arent stretching much and im about to flip them to flower, for the preflowerimg stage (first 3 weeks of flower) should i keep the ppfd low for them to stretch? or give them the ppfd needed? im scared that they wont stretch if i give them the ppfd needed right now

  • @lp6132

    Ive got a lumatek zeus pro 600w led ( known as the photontek x 600w pro in the us and canada )
    It gives out a PPF of 1620 µmol/s at full power. It comes with dimmable adapter and was wondering what sort of output i should be looking for at different stages of growth.
    I don’t see the point in amping up my electric bill by having the lights at full 600w power throughout seedling and veg stage if it doesn’t need it.
    What would you recommend through different stages of the grow. It has 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% adjustments.
    Any feedback would be much appreciated 👍🏼

    • @DeBaccoUniversity
      @DeBaccoUniversity  2 роки тому

      The % do not mean much, you want to measure what your plants are getting in PAR at plant height. In short flower should have the highest PAR readings.

    First I’d like to thank you for being so responsive this week with my comments, I have a quick question that I hope you can give me some insight on. As I sit here and do a bunch of math using PPFD maps and calculating the DLI I can potentially achieve with various power levels, distances, and light schedules, I had a question. If I assume that 12” provides 100% intensity, (as per manufacturers directions for LED light) and that double the distance, 24”, provides only 25% of that intensity, could I work this equation in reverse? For example would 6” then provide 400% of the light intensity? I know that is extreme lol but even if I could achieve 150% of my potential PPFD from my lights it would allow me to bring my photosynthesis up to an optimal level without purchasing any new equipment.
    Thanks so much for your informative video!

    • @DeBaccoUniversity
      @DeBaccoUniversity  2 роки тому +2

      In theory your math and thought process are correct. However, what you are not taking into consideration is the light intensity and coverage area since when you are talking about plants this is also another important factor. Intensity over what coverage area based on the distance to the canopy needs to be factored in as well;-)
