it's much better to have it closer than farther away because light looses intensity based on a geometric progression (math lol) meaning that the farther away it is the MUCH LESS strong it is. the light quality degrades with distance , simple as that. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Lux Meter Apps on SmartphonesWhat are your thoughts on Lux meter apps? The app on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ is showing 16,600 Lux at the tops of the seedlings, and converting that to a rough PPFD shows 222.55/umol/s/m². Reading more, 15k-45k Lux and 200-400 PPFD is good for early veg.

White and blurple led in same tent?I recently upgraded to a TS1000 for my flower tent, and am waiting on an SF1000D for my veg tent, and now have a tmlapy “1500w” blurple sitting around. Would i gain anything running the blurple and ts1000 in the same tent? Or is it not worth the extra energy consumptionSetup. Lighting

LED distance to plant adviceInterested in how close I can get my 630w LED with a rating of 2.7μmol/W and 1700 PPF to my canopy. I had it hung 48cm (19 inches) on 380w and just upped it to 500w day 8 in flower. Does this sound too close at 500w or is this ok? Temp is 25C (77F) humidity 55%.
