, 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.

I know a lot of things say stick your finger in the first few inches of soil to see if it's dry. Does anyone use the green moisture meter? If so what number do you use as a reference?

To trim or not to trim - bud sites
At this point during flowering, this is where I see different information. Should I allow all bud sites to do their thing? From reading, the growing community is split where some people trim off lower and others seem to say if there’s a bud leave it.
