The light output of LEDs is rated in either candelas (also candle) or lux, with the candela being the more common. Both are a measure of luminous intensity. The higher the candelas/lux, the brighter the light.
Standard LEDs emit only a modest amount of light, not even 1 candela. They’re rated in millicandelas, or thousandths of a candela. Millicandela is typically abbreviated as mcd. Typical intensity of a T1-3/4 (5mm) red LED is about 50 to 75 mcd.
Conversely, so-called superbright LEDs might have an intensity of 500 mcd to over 5 candelas.
That means each strip is running 1.5 candelas x 50= 75 candelas, 1 candela=12.57 lumens
Also picked up this,
it will allow me to regular the voltage coming in and going out so I can run it on my 6v system or my 12v system or any system up to 50v 🖒 plus I’ll be able to dial in the leds to the perfect constant current and play around with lower voltage durning veg and higher voltage durning flower

I don’t think my math is right 
I’m too stoned for this right now haha

The way you grow reminds me of the way my friend mixes soil. I’m always using measuring spoons, counting, taking notes on any changes and he just pours a handful of this and a handful of that. He NEVER measures anything and he gets good results lol.

Lol well I thank you for the compliment. . . I’m a firm believer that the plant will tell you everything you need to know. . .
but a lot of plants were harmed in the making of this idea lol

If you are getting 1/2 your ppm back I would leave it alone or cut back. When you get down to 15% in your run off, then bump it up.
Give her straight water and check the ppm in that too.

It looks about half back in the run off, so I refeed her later with it and then before bed she gets another refeed with the run off and in the am it starts all over again. . . I don’t have a ppm meter bro so I can’t check it
I found a ppm pen and a ph pen together for i think $10 on amazon or ebay. Best $10 i have spent in this hobby yet brother. I aint got much but if you need some assistance getting one let me know brother.

Thanks bro 🖒 I’ll get one soon enough but my first go at it i want to do it all by “feel” . . . I’ll start perfecting it and get all the gadgets next run

Day 23 from pop. . .I checked my notes
Fed her 4 times yesterday and she grew almost an inch, i have her outside right now for hardening off before budding starts. . .she getting a little leggy and I’m thinking about putting her outside fully through bud

This is what I’m feeding her once a day. . .I then refeed the run off 3 more times before nighttime
Keeping it light

Here is another side by side comparison. . . She is at about 8 inches now
And taller than my 16oz pot and plant lol
