Example PPFD numbers:
Veg 300 PPFD
Flower 600 PPFD
From what I've been reading, PPFD during flower should be increased when compared to veg. Is intensity increased to maintain a similar DLI as veg but with a shorter photo period to promote flowering? With a shorter, more intense photo period the plants will basically receive the same total photons as with a longer less intense light cycle. If we were to give our plants the same higher PPFD for Veg as we did for Flower would photo saturation occur?
Just random thought from my other hobby of reef aquariums. The 300 and 600 PPFD numbers are not exact, just examples to try and grasp what im thinking.
Would like to hear your thoughts.
