So I've been on a bit of an education kick. Just trying to learn about light science and LEDs and the different colors and sizes. One of the light testing channels on YouTube MIGRO channel, recommended this app called Photone. It's basically an app that uses your front facing camera to calculate your PAR, your DLI based on 12,18 or 24 hours, it does lux readings and temperature of the lights in Kelvin. I wanted to know if anyone else has tried this app. I know it works very well with the apple iphone camera. I have the Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra. It's got a beast of a good camera and same sensors as the iphone.
I measured the PAR and I'm getting an average of about 900ish and when I checked the DLI I got about 60 for 18hrs. Different numbers than I got using a lux meter and conversations to get the DLI number. Seems a bit high since I'm not using CO2 but the plants seem to be handling it well enough. I'll take some pictures of readings tonight to show y'all some examples.
My thoughts are, if this app is accurate, this could be a huge game changer for a lot of ppl to get everything dialed into that sweet spot.
