I bought one about a year ago because my cheap phone only went to 17k. They are good to even out the light spread. I couldn't understand why everyone was recommending 60-80k lux, when that much light would kill anything I grow. Then last week I got a new phone, and its not even close. What I thought was 45k is 65k lux on the phone.

So which one is right? Doesn't matter as long as you know what your plants like. You just can't rely on someone else's recommendations.

I think they are a good tool as long as you know they aren't very accurate. Getting even distribution is a big deal.

maybe im just worrying over nothing but something seems off to me i watered them friday but leaves are drooping to me . have i over watered underwatered ? do i just need to feed again ? i put 2 tbs of happy frog all purpose in the mix when i transplanted it has been raining the last 2 or 3 days humidity has been high and temps were in the 70's temps are down outside and humidity is down inside

Good idea. I used an app on my phone on previous grows and on my last grow I bought one of these and it's amazing how without the meter I would've had no clue that the right side of my light produces a little more than the left. Now I arrange my plants slightly to the right of the light and get perfect coverage.

i don't think it is too much wind but maybe to strong what yall think ? . counting nodes i am starting the 5th node so i might be topping next week
im gonna be feeding at the end of the week also i do have the phone close to my face

 

[Backyard_Boogie]

That looks good. Fan is a little on the strong side but they can handle it. I think they will be OK but if I were you I would lower the intensity of that fan. If you cant turn the rpm down any further just throw it up on a paint can. A bucket might be too tall and overshoot but something medium size like a paint can will be good just to get the wind blowing over the tops instead of blasting straight into them. You want the tops to just be dancing a little.

 

[biggerbud420]

how many lux should i be getting at this stage ?

 

[biggerbud420]

tonight i feed with 2 tbs of happyfrog and 1 tbs of epsom salt water was ph 6.3

They look happy. Depending on which meter I use, they would give them either 20k lux or 35k lux. That's how inaccurate they are. You just have to figure out how yours reds and find the happy place. They look good now. How high is the light? Mine would be about 20-24"

what about this plant pics side pic and top pic of same plant that plant looks good to you ? because it drooping like that is driving me crazy lol

That one looks overwatered or bad roots.

I’d use a PPFD/par meter, Lux is kind of a pointless metric, doesn’t factor in spectrum

and of course you can use it and use conversions from Lux to par

Unless you got $400 for a ppfd meter shitty lux meter is all you get. The phone apps are just a lux meter with a conversion factor built in. Not accurate, every meter reads different.
