Growers have been increasing the light intensity or PAR levels in the grow room thanks to the increased efficiency of LEDs but how does this apply to Autoflowering plants with their longer lifecycle?
In the past the limiting factor to increasing light intensity for indoor growers was heat and Photoperiod plants (must be on a 12 hours lights on cycle to flower)were the only game in town . Typically the largest HPS fitted in a 4ft x 4ft (1.2m x 1.2m) grow tent was a 600w system and would deliver about 550 µmols/m²/second. Increasing to 1,000W HPS was not possible because of the heat output of the lighting system was too much to treat with extract fans.
Now we have LED grow lighting systems which are almost twice as efficient as the best HPS systems available and so growers are increasing the PAR levels in their grow rooms to 1,000 µmols/m²/second and higher. However PAR intensity levels of 1,000 µmols/m²/second and greater require raised CO2 levels which require closed systems and expensive CO2 cannisters, sensors and controls.
For the novice to experienced grower applying PAR intensity levels of about µmols/m²/second for Photoperiod plants will achieve very good yields from your grow space. To calculate what this means in terms of grow light wattage there is a table to convert this PAR intensity to consumed power for different types of grow light systems: • Photos and Autos Recom...
The average intensity of 900 µmols/m²/second over the 12 hour period equates to about 40 DLI (Daily Light Integral, the amount of PAR reaching the plant over the total light cycle). This is an important measure because, although plants can absorb PAR intensity up to at least 1,500 µmols/m²/second for a period of time, plants are limited as to how much light they can absorb over the total light cycle.
For Autoflowering plants the typical light cycle is 20 hours on and 4 hours off. This maximises the time the lights are on while still allowing a few hours darkness for the plant to 'sleep' and metabolise. Because the day is longer the PAR intensity can be lower to reach the same maximum 40 DLI. Here is the table for the recommended grow light system wattage to achieve our recommended PAR intensity of 550 µmols/m²/second for Autoflowering plants: • Photos and Autos Recom...
There are caveats to consider of course.
If you go over the maximum I have recommended in these tables you should still get an increase in growth rate, it just may not be a '1 for 1' increase i.e. 10% more PAR intensity = 10% more growth, for example it may be 5% more growth for 10% more PAR intensity
It is strain dependent, some are much more suitable to high light intensity than others
Other factors such as temperature, nutrients, humidity, CO2 levels etc can restrict the growth potential from your plants if not optimised

@MIGRO Hi Shane. Would really appreciate to know if I'm understanding this correctly...
Let's say I have 2 separate tents growing Autoflowers, both have exact same spec grow light & no dimmer. If I have one grow running 18/6 with light height from canopy adjusted for PPFD of 617 μmol to get a DLI of 40 mol vs the other grow running 20/4 with light distance adjusted for PPFD of 555 μmol for same DLI of 40 mol; are they effectively both getting same amount of light per day due to same DLI meaning it's more efficient & cost effective to just run 18/6 & forget about 20/4?
I enjoy watching Shane's videos even if I don't particularly have a question or issue. Such a mellow fellow with humble attitude and tons of knowledge. A perfect human really.
I was always burning my autoflowers because I figured pumping up the light is what they needed.. But once I learned about "DLI" I was surprised.. Very surprised.. But it all makes sense.. Thanks again!
Eric, I should have covered this topic a long time ago for Autoflower growers. I have finally caught up with what most people are now growing😁
It is a very important topic.. I barely leared about that this year! Ive been burning all my autos to a crisp 😭 also, i am so glad I bought a par meter.. They take all the guess work out.. The recommended height for my light in my current grow says 24" at 25% power.. But the plant is in veg and only receiving about 200 - 230 μMols throughout the 2'×4' canopy.. But when I drop it down to 12" at 25% power, I get about 400 - 450 μMols throughout the 2'×4' canopy.. And keeping the power at 25% helps keep temps down.. PAR meters are so helpful!
@@eric8630 what lights you are rocking? A i too have 2x4 size
Spring sunshine into summer sunshine into fall sunshine
To stop seedlings stretching they just need a little wind and they will have twice the base you normally get
ive been getting good results with my autos on a lower power than I keep seeing people using . thanks Shane , apprecaited 😎
Much appreciated. I learn interesting stuff from you. Having a lighting Guru appearing regularly, and actually enhancing understanding is fantastic. I had no idea that autos and photos required different amounts of light. You serve the growing community in very noble way, thank you Shane.
@jon barker Nice to meet you online also
Oh get a room, you two🔝😉
They don’t if you flower them on 12/12
Shane I was literally googling this topic trying to find right answers. Hardly anyone realizes autos require less and I have been putting too much light causing my plants to go to sleep too early on a 18/6 schedule, and also causing leaf tips to try flipping upside down. I should have took the hint. Thank you so much for true clarification.
what do you mean by plants going to sleep too early?
@@nomenclator4339 I guess he means the lightschedule and that the plants ''go to sleep'' after 18hrs of light
@@christoronaldo7673 well that would make sense but he said "too early" and I never heard of a plant going to sleep early with full lights on
Thanks Shane 🙂👍
Love what you do.. Thanks alot!
The only meter I can afford to measure my ppf is viewing your well documented video documentaries. Thanks
First time auto grower here. You just saved me from using a photoperiod light intensity on my autos! I would have frazzled the heck outta them!!
Not only excellent products but quality information.
Thanking you kindly for your kindness in giving us this information my man it is very easy to understand. Have a beautiful day 😘👍🏼
thanks again ! :) I watch every video you have .
You sir inspire us to be better. Thank you for your help and wisdom
Shane,gracias por aclararnos nuestras dudas.Inmejorable tu labor ,gracias.
great at last someone is looking into this well done MIGRO
Thats cool. I was amazed at the fact that the autos i grew last winter, in 4x4 using only two 150w (300w) leds, came out fantastic. The autos i grew outside, the following summer, hated life. Most of the flowers foxtailed and or just didn't look or smell right. Some of them hermmied and self seeded as well. The crazy thing is, I used the hermed seeds for the next round of autos towards the end of summer and they came out awsome with very little anomolies and all maintained their fem/auto status. I attribute the difference in results to the ruderalis strain in the autos. I'm doin autos right now in Nov outside with shorter days and cooler temps and they love it
Hey thanks for this info. Just started playing with autos last summer. Grew some outdoor. They hermmied as well. Still smoked ok once dried and cured. But I've been curious about the seeds till now. Just researching an indoor set up to grow thru the winter now. Appreciate the info.
Studio looks really nice and clean. Love it 👍
I never knew that about autos! Thanks very much for the great info as always Shane! :)
Keep this gems coming !
Thanks
Yes! As an auto grower this info is gold, anything I find on par relates to photos, hard to find any solid info on auto and here it is, thanks Shane
Another Great and educational vid nice1 Shane 🏴
thank you for this information! your work is much appreciated
More than happy to drop that thumbs up hope it helps, your straight to the point and always point blank, screw the haters, love the content
Hey perfect video for today.
Fascinating, I’ve been using a 24hr light regime on my auto’s. Using a quality living soil has been a game changer too and is giving me the healthiest plants ever, and zero worries re fertilising use and water Ph and such! Bliss! Quality lights on top, quality ‘live’ soil on the bottom..can’t just focus on one aspect.
Having my 2 x 4 setup in a bedroom wardrobe means a little extra CO2 at nighttime too. I may reduce my light regime to an 18/6 or 20/4 now however. Thanks for the info.🖖🏼
I'm rocking 24hr light regime, too. You think we should drop to 20 and target 550umol?
@@1SmokedTurkey1 didn’t see your reply till now but yeah, I’m reducing it to 20/4 or even 18/6..mostly as the room it’s in gets very warm during the summer days. Deep green leaves, nothing but water and maybe a top dress with worm casting..bliss!
Greetings spaceman...do you have any experience of FLO (florians living organics)? Mi about to start a grow with auto's & FLO and would be very greatfull to get some of your wisdom...manufacturer providing info only on photoperiods as usual so the ideal feeding amounts for auto's are mi main concern...and have you re-potted your auto's with the living soil or mixed all nutrients for the whole lifecycle on 1 go?
Grower Love Idren🙏🏻
Thanks for all the great videos and information, looking forward to buying my first Migro light very soon.
Appreciate the info on auto's they are what I believe the majority of new grows
Hello Shane
Good Video, thank you for sharing your videos
Great video! Very informative.
I ran my autos at 800ppfd 20hrs a day...they loved it ...
From what age did you run that power....How much can you give 3rd week veg.....can you post a schedule of power through the grow....week one, week two etc?
@@UbiquitousRomp as soon as they hit 5 nodes they can handle it. I use a Apogee mq500
big up Shane 🌱👍
I think your assumptions about autoflowers is wrong, in that just as with photoperiods, the amount they can handle varies. Run them 18/6 at 800 PPF, most modern autos will do very well. Some of the older, Lowryder based autos won't be able to handle that much light, but the only real way to know is to grow them! I'm growing my autos under HLG lights, a 650R and a Scorpion Diablo. I'm keeping the lights adjusted to 800-900 PPF.
Hi, I agree you can increase average PAR above the levels I have recommended but I think the rate of return reduces above these levels, thanks, Shane
@@MIGROLIGHT....How much can you give 3rd week veg.....can you post a schedule of power through the grow....week one, week two etc and when to scale it up?
I've read the 550/600 at the end of veg / early flower as a target, I went for quarter power 150w PPFD for the first 10 days on 24 hours for temps as it's cold here when lights go out.. then went half power 300w giving me par of 309 at 56cm and a DLI of about 20....but I'm really not sure when to lower or turn up the power to increase my Par/DLi readings from here, so a schedule of increases would be really useful shane.
@winddrift03
The question isn't if they can handle it but what you're really getting for much higher electricity cost so = grams/watt.
Thankyou!¡¡ Very nice information.
Love the content Shane, you go brother!
Thanks Brett.
I have an array 4..great light, thx shane👍🏻
useful stuff Shane thankyou, have to watch again to get that auto info lol atb.
Like first and now watch
Thanks Shane
Well said video!
Thank You...🎉😮🎉😮🎉
Thanks that is very helpful
Good work yo!
I use a mars hydro ts1000 i run them at 65-70% and 16" for veg. Fullblast for flower. Only grow 2 plants max. Plants are loving it and temp and humidity is pretty stable.
The mars raises temps near root 5 degrees above outside tent condition.
Boom love it
Thank you for the information Shane.
Maybe this is why i have trouble when my autos go into flower.
Thanks.
Dutch Passion auto Euforia doesn't like Marshydro at 18in - looks like heavy nute burn with a nitrogen def. Moved the plant away from the lamp and the colour's coming back nicely. You saved my plant. Cheers
Awesome video bro
woah camera quality upgrade nice xD thanks for the vijeo (^.^)
Yes! I've been using a 200w light in a 1m² tent with great results on autos.
Great information mate.
How many plants?
@@ineedmysyq 9
Dark is as important as light always .
thanks
The best
i run my led lights at 50% through veg into flower week 6 to 7 i dim them even more for final 3 weeks.🇦🇺
Ive been trying to figure out what par to run autos. My first run i did like 900 and my leaves after a week looked like a horrible cal mag def. My current run i was doin like 750 and am seeing leaves crisp up and taco. But took your 550 x 20 got 11000 so i run my lights at 18 hrs a day and turned them to about 590 600 at canopy top. See if they come back to life. The color will be crappy on just the leaves but think this will be good am also seeing the benefits of plant training because the lower set of bufmds are getting like 400, which i know can absorb more but the tops will be in the crisp zone so no bueno. Awesome video dude!
Shane, what distance is assumed for these power recommendations?
When will I start to see migro approval stamp on all manufacturers horticulture lighting. Don't buy a light unless you see the the Migro stamp of approval. For safety and performance grantees 😎👍
Good idea! He certainly sets the gold standard for this kind of content.
So how many watts is good for a 2x2x4 grow area? Is the bloomplus bp1000 to much for that space?
Great video, can you go into dli more
So what is the recommended height for auto flowers? And what would the different dimmer strengths be the same as you state on the website? Or would those strengths change too
Ur a good lad il gona call in bin ur shop need have a quick chat with u and am going ti buy a few bits and it nice ti be able to help u over us companies ect and u say it as it is unlike some
What changes would I get if iv dropped the light down to 6in above canopy with right par levels as specs at 32in till they get bigger and lift and readjust hight and dimmer for more space needed.Will that work ?
Thanks for this. When I built my set up, I went with a 5x5 and 2 SP3000 from marshydro. Afterwards I was worried that I was low on my watts per square foot. But looks like I’m spot on for my autos 👌 one day I plan to put a little more light in (hoping to find another 300w for cheap, to get better penetration. But also don’t wanna push my DLI to much)
I have the same exact setup. How many autos do you normally do at once?
@@ahlers1977 I do 4 since that’s the legal limit in my country. And usually that will fill the tent wall to wall in flower. Smaller plants you could manage more for sure though.
@KootsRoots thanks for the reply! Our state limit is 5 so I haven't done more then that but I'm sure a 6th would easily be possible since I use 5 gallon pots. Using 7 gallon I'd stick to 4 more then likely.
@@ahlers1977 I use 3 gallons in coco. Watering multiple times a day sucks haha but looking to get something automatic installed. I’ve found that by doing 3 galling coco coir with a salt based fertilizer such as flora-flex or something similar, I get some pretty big plants, typically each plant is easily a quarter pound at minimum, so 4 plants is a pound harvest at least which supplies my smoking habits between harvests.
Another thing that helped me (maybe not so much if not using coco but not sure) is Rainscience grow bags. Much easier to clean and reuse than your typical fabric grow bag, better root pruning and more airflow to the roots. I found as soon as I started using them my plant size had to have doubled as I was getting much smaller plants doing my same coco-floraflex in normal fabric grow bags.
@@ahlers1977 I mean, it’s not so bad I guess. I water once in the morning once at night. Few cups until it runs off. Got the style from Mrsfunk420 who grows massive autos, and basically just follow her method with great results.
Shane, would you alter these recommendations after your discussion with Dr. Bugbee? He suggests 1000 PAR from seedling stage onward.
correct me if I'm wrong but does this mean that the array 4 is suitable in a square meter for autoflowers but not enough for photoperiods? 330 watt needed for photos and 230 for autos
Excellent information. Can you make an extension video that gets into DLI? I see that the DLI for photos was half of that for the autos. How can I determine the DLI for my plants?
I would also appreciate a more in depth DLI video.
I recommend watching this video by Dr Bruce Bugbee th-cam.com/video/ID9rE5JewVg/w-d-xo.html
The calculation of the DLI starts at ~23minutes
No, the DLI is the same 40 for both.
@@Queerpunx Dr Bruce Bugsbe Utah state university professor. Has great vids on this subject.
So I have 2 tents with bar style LEDs a 4X4 with a 480 watt light and a 3X3 with a 300 watt. I want to use the 3X3 to grow autos on a 18 on 6 off schedule and veg my photos that will go into the 4X4 flower tent. I will grow maybe 2 autos in 5 gals and have a few photos in 1 gal pots vegging. How much should I dim down the 300 watt light in the 3X3 and keep everybody happy ? Or is this just a bad idea to veg photos and run auto in the same tent ? I'm doing pretty good at 75% but sometimes a leaf or two will curl up on the young photos especially if its a sensitive strain. I guess the real question is should I get a par meter and do the math.
I don't know about you Shane but with a proper array of these new LED's you have reviewed for me, I have switched to 12-1 veg with 8 on 16 off flowering cycle, also known as GLT with great acclaimed results. Harder to find info about but it's also an old professional practice in Agriculture and it sure works great, and lightens up the load on the equipment, plant stress, excess nutrient uptake, and quit a few other things. This would only be ideal for Photo period and most likely not autos in any way. Also I would use 16 on 8 off for autos if I didn't refuse to grow them. There are now "fast" photos available lately that make the need for auto use even less to me. Thanks for all the help Shane, hope to hear someone looking into 12-1 or GLT (Gas Lantern Technique) in future!!!
It's good technique for stopping flowering, just putting the light on for 1 to 2 hours halfway through night period, saves electric, but you can get a more little stretch than normal. It doesn't work for autos, you just end up with crap .
so 40 moles of light per day, is that the most they can absorb?
i have read and heard it said that after 40 moles of light the returns start to diminish, which would suggest that there are still some gains available after 40 moles.
Would you start your Auto grow with 550 par or would you slowly get there? What are the recommendet intesitys for Seddling, Verg and Flower?
One 600W HID in a 4x4 is a bad choice to start with, 4x 150W HID would be easier to handle temp wise and offer better, more equal light output, but I think 4x 125W would do just as fine. Lower temps overall even with four heat sources, you can get closer to the plants and maintain an even par output. Just saying four horses can pull a lot more than one strong one.
Thanks Shane that helps a lot ✌🏻🌱🤘🏻
Wish you would include Par charts for ideal distances for autoflowers ....I could follow your chart for photos and know I am in the right ball park but for autos I have to buy A light meter.
@MIGRO what about 20/4 veg period on photos?
I've been running up to 55, sometimes even a 60 DLI with autos over 20 hours. Can't complain they can take the upper end with the right conditions (nutrient concentration, leaf surface temps at 81-83°, humidity 65-70% and co2 supplementation). Worst case scenario your buds get slightly foxtaily, but fr they slap in yeild. I always plant more than I need to fill the space and pick only the all stars to fill up my arena. But till day 30 my autos never see more than 30 DLI, then by day 40 when I'm seeing heads they get to around 40 DLI and peak flower I really push them hard. Hard nugs starting to amber by day 65 on 80 day strains. Conesseur shiyt
It's mostly because of co2 supplementation
Thanks Shane
I grow autos exclusively. Thanks for the information makes sense 12 hrs to 20hrs less light intensity is needed. Never really thought about it.
it doesnt make sense :D they grow on 18-20 hours but in 6 weeks not 8 ( in general) the new auto generation is over 20% u cant have the same tch cbd etc when u got less 2 weeks flowering and less light :D autos now can handle the same like photos :) grow them in 30l pot and u will see the diference:D
The leaves often droop once they’ve surpassed the DLI. You will notice this about an hour before lights out.
@@archdevilzero5020 exactly
@@archdevilzero5020No auto finishes in 6 weeks lol. The seedtoharvest time given by breeders is nonsense. MOst autos take 80-90 days except some small low yielding crap like Lowryder.

Can you make video about mobile app ppfd/par meters and compare the stats with real sensor and see which hits the closest?
I recommend to use tent buddy and ppfd meter. Yes it would be helpful alot for us without expensive par meters. I'm with you on this proposal. Some chart with idk. 300w and measurements with apogee and apps. Great idea bro

Awesome content, but your volume in all videos is super low...
Hi Shane, thanks another great video, I've been looking into the frequencies from led light and hps lighting, apparently the high frequencies of led can effect the plant growth, what I found out made me change all my bulbs in my house to the old filament bulbs which are now extremely hard to buy, they didn't give us led to save us energy there's a very sinister plan behind it all.
Give me some links.. But yeah, seems kinda weird they put out something that doesnt last very long either.. There seems to be some imperfections with LED all together.. I noticed around here they changed alot of the street lights to LED and it hasnt even been a year and 1/4 of them are either burned out or flickering.. And LED bulbs for the house, same shit.. They tend to burn out super quick.. Like not even a full year.. That always made me curious about why would they put this bs out and glorify it.. It saves money for 1 year.. Then you gotta go buy new ones.. Fuck that.. But damn they do keep the electricity down quite well.. So when you say frequencies... You're talking about the 50-60hz that are on damnnear all electronics?? Does it have anything to do with the Shuman Resonance?? Really curious about whay you are talking about...

Cheers for this interesting topic. I never knew that, but it makes sense. Please could you review this budget light from Amazon? It's only £130 but it has Samsung diodes and a meanwel driver. It's called FUKEA 2000W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum. I do appreciate that you'll have hundreds of test requests. Love the posts!
I don't know about FUKEA. I think the FUKUBISOFT 70000 watts sq/ft m2/JuMol kmp/h3 is a better choice.
I guess this is for flowering.
Great professional content as always. 💚💚💚 wondering where CMH would fall in there, between the leds and HPS? My takeaway is that it’s White and red for top efficiency. Informative! I don’t mess with autos, tho some say I should. Since they don’t seem to require the intensity, I think I may set up some to grow in the corners of my veg tent. More experiments, 1 gallon hydro pots!
CMH is also about 1.4 usable PPF per watt so about the same as HPS
Does that mean Autoflowers need less light par?
I am about to start my first grow in a 4x4 tent with an HLG 550 R-spec. Given the relative low levels of blue in the spectrum, should I supplement by hanging a propagation LED strip like the ones from Sunblaster to enhance the blue spectrum and hopefully reduce stretching of inter-nodal lenghts? Or, is this not a concern for this particular light? I have height limitations in the grow space.
I did notice my plants getting a bit shorter since using HLG (had blurples before). So, I would try getting more blue in there and see what happens.
Po
Is this in the flower cycle or the entire grow
Hi,
For the flower cycle.
Thanks
alright shane, you might not be super familiar with this or i'm asking it in a strange way, but i'll give it a go anyhow:
for photos: when using hps 600 the averages of feeding ec/ppms was like what 1,6/1,8 in flower?
now with leds you might need to go up to 2,2/2,5 in some cases. (even have seen commercial running 2,5/2,7 in veg! and weirdly dropping in flower to 1,8/2.0...)
with autos, everyone suggests half or even 1/4 feed. however with leds you might run normal feeding schedule almost. any thoughts?
just watched the luxx pod cast with jungle boys and athena.... and yeah..shits changed.start a cutting with an EC of 3 .has anyone tested the way they have? am saying not
Hey Shane. Another fantastic video. Do you happen do know how much light (ppfd/DLI) herbs like parsley, cilantro and dill require, and how much light pepper plants need for veg/flower? Or can you point me in a direction to find it? Thanks mate!
No more than 40 moles cannabis can handle hi light so it can handle up to 60 moles.
Nobody seems to consider DLI with autos. Sucks for them.
