Get a lux meter best way to maximise you light . Od .Update for today. After doing a bit of research this afternoon and looking at the manufacturers advice, basically following what AndyBoi has done with his sf2000 grow, I've decided to raise my light to 28 inches at 50% dimming for the germination/seedling stage.
I'll continue to update as I go along

It all depends on strain. I have seedlings started at 12K, now one week old getting 20k cfl. When the sun comes out, they get 50k in the window and love it.Ok, cool. I actually raised mine a little while ago to just about 24 inches above the soil as I was unsure if I was too close at 20 inches. I'm at about 20% and am still getting a reading of 6k on my lux meter which I'm told is in the range it needs to be for seedlings (5k-10k) so I feel confident I guess? Lol
upon little reading...some phone app may have some accuracy but its never gonna be like a real meter.... Phone app with some phone modification < Lux Meter < Par Meter ... For phone modification, its nothing really hard , basicly a sheet of paper in front of the lens to reduce light spots and distribute more evenly the light output that close to the lens ...not sure you understand me but can sure google it lolThanks, OD! I downloaded a lux meter app on my phone, but am hearing that it may/may not read LED correctly?
