This is what I’m getting in my 2x4 main tent (with a different app, it seems) at about 12"

And what I’m getting in my 2x2 cabinet at about 18"

I doubt these things are very accurate, though I am curious if they have some value for us.

Try multiple devices? I found my Amazon tablet read best, you can just find out what your lights are supposed to hit and calibrate from there.

heh, and here I am pushing 80k in a 3x3 :laughing:
Definitely not sure on the accuracy of the phones and apps… I have a klein FC/Lux meter but it only reads up to 40k and thats like half way down my canopy.

Yeah mine can kick out 40k but I turned it right down to 16k for the past two days cause I got a bit too much bleaching but they are getting darker now still in the seedling stage though so It’s gonna go up.It’s important to remember lux doesn’t actually show what s being given to the plants but a measurement of what we can see of it.

ah yeah you have to increase it slowly, 1-2k lux/day or like 5-10w/day at most imo. I started at like 120w and 2-ish ft away and slowly got it up to 320w-340w by like two weeks into stretch. Just have to play with the power and light heights and see how she responds. I never got any bleaching from doing it this way. I’ve found for this particular girl i’m growing she likes to be about 320w at ~18 inches in full flower. Any more than that and I get a lot of taco’ing even though the temps are low 70’s. Going past 350w causes it real hard and fast, she’ll start turning leaves over to slow down.

I’m currently amused because my temps are so low that I want to heat my grow area up hahahaha

I like this a person could do as you say and it would be copying the sun exactly.

I should probably try others also, eh? Curious about the difference.

Also the puppy breath terps of the mother’s milk is starting to take over the tent :unamused: I’m not a fan honestly

Could be a big difference in our phone’s sensors too. Doesn’t matter as long as the plants are happy, I suppose :smile:

Puppy breath sounds interesting to me. Not sure I’d love a tent full of the smell though :wink:

It had it on a stem rub a while back but this morning it was pretty overpowering lol after opening up the tent and watering it’s no where near as strong

There’s a hashy pheno in there that I really like
