even from the edge of a tent, you want to angle the lens directly at the light fixture to get the most accurate reading possible with those phone apps. keep taking screen shots til you get one with the source as close to center screen as possible.
I don't know what sensor on the phone it uses but it's on the screen side and it's very angle sensitive, which could be because of screen protector or something.
 
Hey man my strawberries are doing ok!

Too bad there's not more strawberry farmers here! 🍓
What are you growing, ever bearing, June bearing or shit... too stoned to remember the ones that come in twice a year... ?

I live close to Oxnard, we always have farm fresh available there so I don't bother growing them for the kind of bugs they attract to the garden.

Everbearing with a suspected fungal issue. I keep getting a little dusting of "fur" on top of the soil and shitty brown flower petals.

Woah woah woaaah I will walk out on my deck in the rain to show you mine hold on lol

Picked it up at the garden center down the road in the clearance bin bout a month and a half ago getting healthy now though. I’m going to up pot it if there is ever another sunny day here lol

on the screen in the app, theres those 4 little corner lines, if you dont get the light source entirely within those 4 square lines your going to under read on PAR and luminosity both.

Your reading there, getting 120 ppfd, is in reality, probably more like 200 ppfd fwiw. Your light source, if outside of those 4 corner lines on the screen, is not hitting the lens directly, its coming in at an angle.


This even screws up some grow light companies when they take measurements with legitimate PAR meters at the side of tents for their lights. They point the sensor straight up, which is actually away from the light source (which is in center of the tent used for testing). The grow light companies that know what's up use the other company's ignorance hard to their own advantage too, and make it look like their lights somehow cast a better foot print from the same lenses in the same wattage class and same form factor lol. Some light companies that will remain un-named even use manipulation of this information to allow themselves to get away with lower output and fewer diodes/wattage for the same class of lights because they know how to take more accurate readings in a tent, and their more accurate readings tend to make it seem like their lights cast a better footprint for less wattage, implying efficiency increase etc. When in reality you actually are getting less output, on the same footprint compared to other panel lights.


This is entirely why generic unbranded panels using the same drivers and diodes seem like they arent as good when you look at the par maps, even though they should be based on descriptions and spec listings, its all because those arent actually made by ddicated grow light companies, and the people making them dont actually know how to take accurate par readings lmao.


im about to pull a Lb or so from four under-volted $25 panels in a 3x3 that said 600ppfd at 10" in center of a 3x3, but said 45ppfd at the edge at 24" xD...... no ones buying them, i watched em drop from 55 to 25 over the course of a year, then bought 6 lmfao. Currently running 4 from a discrete switch mode power supply. They probably would have sold if the people taking the light measurements actually knew how to do it lol.

I can mimic the 45ppfd 24" result with these panels, if i use a phone app, and point directly straight up at the roof of the tent with one at 100% at 24".... but if i angle the lense to source, it jumps to like 180 ppfd, at what is essentially 2.5ft away from a single panel off-axis. that's actually pretty damn good for a single 55w panel. better than average actually.


All digital lenses are highly angle sensitive, even a high end lens for a spectrometer.

QUESTION 🤔

Regarding temperatures. 🌡️

I know the ideal sweet spot for cannabis is about 77° (25° Celsius) but of course different strains will prefer different temperatures, but if you get to about 80° is that a danger zone or would someone still be okay if it got that high?

I suppose 85 would be the danger zone realistically.

So should a person be concerned if they can't get it down to 77° all the time? 🤔

Of course during germination and during flower of course the temperatures are going to be different, ESPECIALLY at night, so I'm just curious about temps.

I tried to germinate some Alpine strawberry seeds but it never took. 😢

I think I'll try again soon to get some 🍓 going.😍

It’s a hardy plant 32 degrees to 105 degrees are my lowest and highest without loss.

I’m learning that temps above 82 F (indoor) start to burn off some of the flavor, maybe other good stuff too. terps. ✌️

That’s my goal anyway , keep temps below 82f indoor. Challenge here in the Deep South ✌️💨

If my shit reaches 80 it’s not a big deal if it is 85 I’m like okay wtf is going on in here. I try to keep it 75-78 lol but not going to make much of a difference unless it’s prolonged.
 
A little dab I'll do ya!😍
honestly not even 🤣 a full doob or dab of this one would prob tap out joey diaz lmao. im slightly scared of the live resins. Even the fresh frozen pulls shattered up, i had to warm the plate to scrape it. Ive had diamondy saucy live resin pulls before, but never straight up shatter.

Ive been managing my tolerance too effectively, and this mango haymeadow also stepped up my benchmark standard for what potent cannabis flower is. It doesnt even make sense to me how strong this shit is.

i wish there was a way to describe it other then it smells like afghan, tastes like bubba kush, and any one of you guys would "shit, ok" at a single rip 🤣 🔥 🙏

I might have a review on the dabs soon, maybe lmao. Tbh I feel like dabbing is pointless while i have this flower and ive been managing my tolerance recently though, the mango haymeadow flower basically as strong as my maui shatter on its own, and honestly tastes even better.


the experience of trying this stuff genuinely reminded me of the very first time i tasted legit afghan kush. Very "oh shit, no way, what?!" i dont compare plants to afghan and bubba lightly lmao. Im praying to shiva, and any available cannabis gods that its not a one-off pheno, because i didnt keep a clone or try and reveg, it was just a test pop because the seeds are super weird looking and tbh the flowers didnt look anything special until i was trimming some, and it started to sink in lol

They might be the dankest buds ive ever smoked. No shit. Cross my heart lol. And Im putting those dabs in the freezer sealed air tight. 😅 🤣
