Throw that thing in the trash. Yes it's a shitty meter for every function.
That’s my initial question lol
Damn dude genius ..being autos they r only three weeks old and showing pre flower and first time I’ve delt with real autos guess next run I will have to do some research and get a better meter thing came with the tent
Im gonna gotta good one on the online the store place man thanks
I figured was just trying to keep it the same reading as my last grow but this is first time I’ve delt with real autos pre flower at week three so I’m trying to just make them run the marathon to the finish line
Treat your autoflowers like any other plant and you'll be fine as long as you keep them healthy. People actual like they need some special care when they only need PROPER care.
Only thing wrong with the meter is it's top range, wont read higher end of intensity. It's more for gardening and shade/some shade/part sun type plants. I use the app Tent Buddy on my android phone.
Thanks man ..I always like a healthy girl if yah know what I mean haha
Biggest weakness was math man I can subtract and add fraction like a fucker though
Even tho those things don't give you anything like a real value they are still useful to tell you how your light intensity is in areas your plants are in. I find my plants grow fine when the needle hits 1000. My 1000W MH buries the needle at 24"
Yeah just use it as a comparison to the number that worked for you last time ..Even tho those things don't give you anything like a real value they are still useful to tell you how your light intensity is in areas your plants are in. I find my plants grow fine when the needle hits 1000. My 1000W MH buries the needle at 24"
I just got an app for my android phone called PPFD Meter by Home Studio Inc. that converts Lux to PPFD but to calibrate it you need the specs of your phone's ambient light sensor which I can't find, a real Lux meter or a light of known PPFD to set it to. Amazon dot CA has them from $16 - 100+ so a $40 one should be good enough and get me free shipping. I wouldn't mind one for photography use anyways. I got a set of macro tubes for my old Canon AE-1 35mm film cameras a couple years back and want to try them out for close-up shots of some buds.
