Thanks that makes me feel better. I thought I was going crazy, trying to keep them going a couple more weeks. Do you turn the light up during the last week or 2 or just keep it under 20,000?My plants are 5 weeks in veg. Anything over 20000 lux begins stressing them. LEDs can be strong.
I’ll let the plants tell me.Thanks that makes me feel better. I thought I was going crazy, trying to keep them going a couple more weeks. Do you turn the light up during the last week or 2 or just keep it under 20,000?
Are you using a defuser on your phone? I’m trying to use this app as well. Why not use DLI for your reading or ppfd?Anyone have experience with using Lux readings with LEDs? I’ve been having issues that look like light stress, but according to the Photone app I’m only at 30,000 Lux. I’m 6 weeks of flower tomorrow and 30,000 Lux seems to be stressing them. 2 plants under different lights but both around 30,000 Lux @ 6 weeks flower
Plant 1. Cupped leaves, yellowing, fox tailed bud.

They do need a diffuser for sure with an iphone. I like the app and measure DLI, ppfd, and lux with it.Are you using a defuser on your phone? I’m trying to use this app as well. Why not use DLI for your reading or ppfd?
What numbers are you looking for with each reading or is it depending on what stage you in? I really want to learn how to dial my light in.They do need a diffuser for sure with an iphone. I like the app and measure DLI, ppfd, and lux with it.
Whats the temp and rh?Anyone have experience with using Lux readings with LEDs? I’ve been having issues that look like light stress, but according to the Photone app I’m only at 30,000 Lux.

Check runoff ppm and ph.Anyone have experience with using Lux readings with LEDs? I’ve been having issues that look like light stress, but according to the Photone app I’m only at 30,000 Lux.

Daytime 76-82f (82 at the canopy due to light, 76 on floor) 50% RHWhats the temp and rh?
When I measured this morning I was 20,000 lux, I believe DLI was like 23 ona 18hr cycle, and ppfd was 380. I’ll be posting pics of plants in morning with my weekly journal update.What numbers are you looking for with each reading or is it depending on what stage you in? I really want to learn how to dial my light in.
It’s different for each stage. The app probably isn’t accurate but I think it’s close enough to get an idea. But no sense after seeing what 30,000 lux is doing when the entire internet world says 50,000-80,000. So much misinformation out there. Funny how something as simple as growing cannabis seems to all be trial and error. Nobody can ever come up with straight answers.What numbers are you looking for with each reading or is it depending on what stage you in? I really want to learn how to dial my light in.
Nice I’ll check it out.When I measured this morning I was 20,000 lux, I believe DLI was like 23 ona 18hr cycle, and ppfd was 380. I’ll be posting pics of plants in morning with my weekly journal update.
Ohhhh....you’re plants are 5 weeks from sprout. 20,000 seems right. I’m 6 weeks into flower and getting light stress from 30,000When I measured this morning I was 20,000 lux, I believe DLI was like 23 ona 18hr cycle, and ppfd was 380.

You can’t check PH with the nutes I’m using, but it’s between 5.8-6.2 according to the shady characters that created it. Not sure if PPM can be checked either, due to the buffer. But doesn’t that look exactly what light stress is?Check runoff ppm and ph.
You have to do so much research just to find no consensus lol I will say each meter will read different but I’m good using the app to at least give me readings to work with. I’m trying to keep the 2 lights I’m running pretty close in numbers from the app.It’s different for each stage. The app probably isn’t accurate but I think it’s close enough to get an idea.

The trick is to learn the light without using the meter. Once the distance is right, then see what the meter says if you want. Every meter is so different you cant go by someone else's recommendations. I'm glad my lights don't have a dimmer... Sounds too confusing for me.It’s different for each stage.
