How To Use Progressive Web App aka PWA On 420 Magazine Forum

Thank you i found a similar one for android like you said its not scientific but its surprising pretty accurate for an app!The only device that does this is a PAR meter. PAR is photosynthetically active radiation. It's the light that plants see.
You could use comparative results in LUX with your iPhone by using the Galatica app. It's not scientific but it can help with light placement.
I get this value at 5 inches from my plant using reflective light mode on the app.
In direct measurement mode (camera pointing directly at light) I get this value.
Get the app and see what results you get.
Or spend $500 on a good PAR meter.

Like I said. It's not a PAR meter. But it'll give you an idea.
I keep my LED's around 8" inches from the canopy.
And keep in mind your (or any) LED's are not 600 or 1000w. Watts is a unit of consumption not a measurement of brightness. Chinese companies use watts to fool you. If you plugged your LED panel into a "kil-a-watt" meter. (A metre that tells you how much electricity you're drawing out of the wall) you would probably find that you're drawing about 230 W per panel out from the plug.
It's kind of a scam and people need to be aware of this. By comparison I use 12x100 W equivalent LED bulbs that consume actual 14 W a piece from the wall. That's only 168watts. But by Chinese standards I would be using 1200 Watts. See how companies lie to us. Lol.

Ya I read about that somewhere before I decided to choose 2 instead of 1 and you're right it does seem a little shady! Lol cheers!

Wrong post. Sorry guys.
Nope, I was wrong. I was in the right spot. Lol!
There you are. I'd suggest you revisit the post on linking the grow to your signature. It's just formatting.
Nice and clean Lochness. A question though, if you have the seedlings under the fluorescents is there any reason to have the LEDs on? Your hood for the fluorescents effectively blocks any LED light trying to get to them. I'd cut their power or take out the fluorescents and let the LEDs do the full job.
Do you have any reason behind this choice?
Looks like you're going to have some fun. Enjoy. Make a lot of friends. You're certainly off to a great start.
JimmyJames, thanks for the info dump. You have me thinking about lights.
