My t-5 lights are 22073 lux at the canopy...I'll have to play with this tool.
I know lux isn't PAR, but I'm a numbers guy, numbers give me wood....okay maybe I'm just high and need to go to bed.
lower those t5 lights till they reach 58000 lux at plant top, if they cant a cheap 600 watt metal halide or hps will veg better.
LUX doesn't work as well for LED, LUX is visible light to the human eye. , but still gives a good indication from my experience, my Led light at 58000 lux still cant out yield my HPS at 58000 lux. but its only a blue/ red/ orange, far red, i think they called them tri bands? not sure
for me ill stick to simple hps and Phillips bulbs for both veg and flower.
My experience to date tells me hps are the best for big yeild and CMH, CFD , plasma and LEDs potency boosters so use them in combination with HPS.
