im trying to figure out how to use it and check the accuracy. pretty cool.bruh PPFD meter APP?
that light looks incredible. I swear every time I buy a new light, 6 months later I see one I like better.OK... So I was doing some research and I fell down the rabbit hole on light. I watched this 45 minute long video from Dr. Bruce Bugbee from Apogee Instruments. He broke down how cannabis absorbs light and the 8 things you need to have in the sweetspot for all grows, really informative. I recommend watching if you like all the science that goes with growing (link below). Any way, he goes on to explain how the key is the DLI, or Daily Light Integral, and the amount the plant can take. PPFD is the density of your light per second that is hitting your surface area. DLI is the amount of PPFD in a day cycle. They found that production tops out at around 40 DLI and the plant has no further benefit from light.
Basically, if you download a light meter app. You can see what your light is putting out and adjust accordingly. I have my light at 93%, with the IR bar on but not the UV, and have 3 feet between my lamp and closest top. My plants are getting 43 DLI over a 12 hour period and they are loving life. After 40 DLI the cells need the night in order to recover. So the 24/12 technique will work but for someone with a light that has a lower PAR value.
I used the app "PPDF Meter" to see my LUX, PPDF, and DLI. The screen dimmer sensor in the phone is how it works. Helps with light power, angle, hight.
Also, BEST LIGHT OF ALLLL TIME
