, I use 600w HID (HpS, mh) and a small LED for spectrum. Light meter just gives me an idea what the canopy is getting.

Anything free, probably won't work. Best option is to buy an actual lux meter, instead of using your phone. They're like 30$ or something, so won't make you starve.

Quiebre de tallo principal
No subí foto de como quedó el tallo quebrado después de la tormenta, ya que ni bien la ví le puse tierra en una maceta nueva hasta el cotileidon que fue que quedó recta sola. Hubiese Sido mejor un tutor o guía? O está bien cubrir el tallo de tierra hasta el primer cotileidon?

Should I wash the potting soil mix before sowing?
Going ahead with my first grow. Should I wash the potting mix before to remove impurities and dust particles, before I sow the sprouted seeds inside? The potting mix contains Coco Peat, Perlite, Organic Manure, Seaweed, and other beneficial microbes. Advice would be appreciated!
