3500You will get different readings for a couple of reasons.
The LEDs are not perfect and give slightly different amounts of photons from each other.
The lenses on them aren't perfect either and they diffuse light.
Is yours the 3000, 3500 or 4000?
You would use Low CRI at the number of your model.
For your light, Low CRI 3500. I think your number was 5600 somethin... Yeah?3500
Dr. Bruce likes 1000umols/m2 for the entire area because the plants can handle it. More than that is likely strain dependent.So I’m getting 5k in the middle the 4K a little away from the middle 3k next to the wall of my tent and 2k in a corner
so I’m the center I’m getting 801.85umol/s/m2

Says x10 on itFor your light, Low CRI
Pretty sure low cri around 3500 or 4000kYou will get different readings for a couple of reasons.

And this is why you need a dimmer switch on any light you get with a light meter as well.Honestly on 18/6 600 ppfd is plenty he does not have the co2 or environment to really push.
Hell even with co2 and complete control the highest I can get is around 65k in 18/6 veg before stress is to much. On 12/12 I have hit 85k max but usually 75k is where they are happy.
You can't do 1000ppfd for 18 hrs. You will fry them.
If just flipped to 12/12 start at 45-50k and slowly work up to 60-65k if the handle it.
Get 45-550k max in the brightest. Adjust the height and intensity to get it the most even. It's not going to be perfect bro... it maybe 10k lower at the corners.so should I just leave my light where it’s at do you think? Or should I lower it so I can get a higher ppd on the plants next to the tent walls and corners
Well it's helpful but not needed.And this is why you need a dimmer switch on any light you get with a light meter as well.
For me? Necessity. For you, nah. LOL Royalty needs these things not.Well it's helpful but not needed.
