Hi, Your phone cannot detect how much lux there is without an external device. Those apps are like shavers apps or lighter apps. It is not real. But if you are talking about the real apps with a luxmeter linked to your phone then yes, those are expensive but high quality.

Seedling growth rate Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

LED distance in grow 80x80x160 I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant. I have 4 plants Is it ok like this? I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant. LED QB 120w, LM301H
