¿Cuánta energía necesitamos para alimentar la fotosíntesis en nuestras plantas?

¿Cuánta energía necesitamos para alimentar la fotosíntesis en nuestras plantas?

Muchos saben lo que involucra el proceso de fotosíntesis, el cual se compone de CO2, agua y energía proveniente del sol. Pero, has pensado cuánta es la energía necesaria para que esos fotones produzcan una cantidad óptima de masa o materia verde dentro de la fotosíntesis, específicamente en cannabis. Primero que todo, ya sabemos cómo se mide la energía utilizada en la fotosíntesis y es en umol/m²/s “micromoles por metro cuadrado por segundo”, correspondiente al PPFD o densidad de flujo de fotones fotosintéticamente activos.

¿Qué cantidad de PPFD necesita el cannabis?

Ahora que ya sabemos la cantidad de luz que emiten nuestras lámparas, necesitamos saber qué cantidad mínima necesitan para hacer la fotosíntesis y cuál es la cantidad máxima antes de provocar una saturación lumínica (muy poco recomendable).

Si, las plantas tienen un tope de luz que pueden procesar, si sobrepasamos ese tope, la planta se saturará provocando que se estrese y merme su crecimiento o floración. Así que veamos cuales son los niveles adecuados en PPFD que necesita el Cannabis.

PPDF – umol/m²/s
Semillas germinando y plántulas 200 a 400 PPFD
Marihuana en el ciclo de crecimiento 400 a 600 PPFD
Marihuana en el ciclo de floración 600 a 1000 PPFD
 Tabla 1. Densidad de flujo fotosintéticamente activo (PPFD) adecuado para el cultivo de cannabis.

No obstante, hay que tener presente que las variedades sativas admiten un poco más. De forma que si el máximo para una variedad Índica o Híbrida en floración, es de 1000 umol/m2/s, para una genética Sativa puede ser de 1200 umol/m2/s. Superar estas mediciones no significa aumentar la producción de forma considerable, aunque si significa correr el riesgo de saturar lumínicamente a nuestras plantas. Ojo que la saturación lumínica se comporta lineal al aumento de CO2 y con ello aumentan la fotosíntesis.

Los equipos de nueva generación y dedicados a cultivo deben incorporar la especificación de eficiencia indicada como PPE y el flujo de fotones fotosintéticamente activos PPF, los cuales se miden en umol/J y umol/s respectivamente. Con esta variable y según la tabla de niveles adecuados de PPFD para cannabis, logramos saber para qué área nos puede servir con un simple cálculo matemático.

Para calcular el área adecuada que debe cubrir un equipo basta con multiplicar la eficiencia PPE en umol/J por la potencia de consumo en W y con ello obtenemos el flujo real del equipo en umol/s indicado como PPF. Como podemos ver, nos faltarían los metros cuadrados dentro de la dimensión del PPF para saber el área o densidad espacial donde trabajamos y para esto solamente necesitamos dividir el PPF por el área de interés que deseamos para obtener una densidad de flujo PPFD adecuada según Tabla 1.

En el caso de los equipos ZENCOB, SAMLED y SAMBAR, para saber el área de cobertura necesitamos saber su potencia y eficiencia. Como dijimos la eficiencia es de 2,78 y 3 umol/J . Aplicando la formula (1) obtenemos la tabla 2.

PPFD umol/m²/s ZENCOB S250 250W SAMLED B240 250W
Semillas germinando y plántulas 200 a 400 3,5 m² a 1,7 m² 3,7 m² a 1,8 m²
Marihuana en el ciclo de crecimiento 400 a 600 1,7 m² a 1,2 m² 1,8 m² a 1,3 m²
Marihuana en el ciclo de floración 600 a 1000 1,2 m² a 0,7 m² 1,3 m² a 0,8 m²
 Tabla 2. Densidad de flujo fotosintéticamente activo (PPFD) adecuado para el cultivo de cannabis.

Finalmente, como vemos en la Tabla 2, con un ZENCOB S250 logramos un PPFD de 1000 umol/m²/s en un área de 0,7 m², es decir en un área de 80x80 cm.

Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website albadelux.cl…

I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.

Like yours, many of them have great content.

But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.

I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.

Here’s a solution for you…

Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.

CLICK HERE https://jumboleadmagnet.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

It could be huge for your business – and because you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5 minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.

Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.

Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.

You could be converting up to 100X more eyeballs into leads today!

My name’s Eric and I just came across your website – albadelux.cl – in the search results.

Here’s what that means to me…

Your SEO’s working.

You’re getting eyeballs – mine at least.

Your content’s pretty good, wouldn’t change a thing.

BUT…

Eyeballs don’t pay the bills.

CUSTOMERS do.

And studies show that 7 out of 10 visitors to a site like albadelux.cl will drop by, take a gander, and then head for the hills without doing anything else.

It’s like they never were even there.

You can fix this.

You can make it super-simple for them to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket… thanks to Talk With Web Visitor.

Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know immediately – so you can talk to that lead immediately… without delay… BEFORE they head for those hills.

Now it’s also true that when reaching out to hot leads, you MUST act fast – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later is huge – like 100 times better!

That’s what makes our new SMS Text With Lead feature so powerful… you’ve got their phone number, so now you can start a text message (SMS) conversation with them… so even if they don’t take you up on your offer right away, you continue to text them new offers, new content, and new reasons to do business with you.

This could change everything for you and your business.
