Sorted with phone lux

Jdillayoyostarted grow question 3 years ago

Have lux meter for my phone didn't think to try to convert lux to par. my phones sensor only read up to 3750 lux so I borrowed a friend and checked. I'm getting around 7000 lux at canopy level with the lamps at 50 inches so all good for now :). @BraveheartGenetics cheers mate!

No problem buddy. You want about 15000 - 20000 LuX for seedlings. Converts to about 200 - 250 PAR. Happy to help, good luck and happy growing

m.youtube.com/watch If you use white light then watch that video. You can buy a cheap lux meter from Amazon and he converts it to PAR for you. I find this really accurate . The lux on the phone can be inaccurate unless you calibrate it with a trusted lux meter.

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growing Hi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing. Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering. However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight) Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?

Is that possible to do grow light with Samsung LED strips?Going deeper into idea of doing the quantum board from scratch but instead SMD LED's there are lots of strip LED options. So I want to ask you guys if I have an aluminum plate with a heat sink and coolers, can I fix those stripts there? Or can I rip them off with a heat gun?

Shifting outdoor plants from outdoor to indoor So I was wondering if outdoor plants(week 2) getting regular sunlight (~12-13 hours) can be shifted indoors for faster growing (18/6 or 24/0 or 20/4)? Anyone tried before? it is safe? Will it cause to make them hermaphrodite?

Keep LED strip or remove?So this is a space tub grow, other than the above head light it has a 3500k led strip running around the sides(around 4 meters) is it worth keeping this lighting? I'm only running a 150 watt growstar led ufo, which is fine for my canopy but my bottom isn't nearly as dense.

Light height full power vs dimmed Hi, with light height, does it make a difference to the plant if I'm at full brightness and further away vs dimmed and closer? I'm going to start running out of tent space soon so I'm expecting I'll need to dim in late flower. I think it's ok just looking for assurance :)

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away
