🌱PPFD measures the intensity of light hitting the canopy, while PPF measures the total light emitted by the grow light.
💡To achieve optimal growth, adjust light intensity according to the Daily Light Integral (DLI), which is the amount of light energy delivered per day.
🌑Avoid light leaks and interruptions during the dark period to prevent plants from being disturbed and hindered in their growth cycle.
What is PPFD?
—PPFD stands for Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density, which measures the intensity of light hitting the canopy of plants.
What is DLI?
—DLI stands for Daily Light Integral, which represents the total amount of light energy delivered per day to a plant.
Why is adjusting light intensity important?
—Adjusting light intensity based on the DLI helps provide the optimal amount of light energy for plants' growth and development.
What are the potential effects of light leaks?
—Light leaks and interruptions during the dark period can disrupt plants' growth cycle, leading to potential stress and decreased productivity.
How can I avoid light leaks?
—To avoid light leaks, ensure your grow space is properly sealed and free from any sources of light that could enter during the dark period.
