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.

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?Setup. Lighting

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cmSetup. Lighting

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED

best LED light 4x4Best LED grow light for a 4x4
Could anybody please suggest which LED light they would recommend for a 4x4 grow.
Willing to spend around £500 maximum as I really want to invest however most videos on YouTube are marketing their own. Really appreciate your advice.
Many thanks!Setup. Lighting
