    Light meter app???

    Does anyone here use a light meter app? I currently have the Photone app on my phone but it seems rather confusing using Android. I'm not that concerned about my tent grown plants but would like to be able to use it on my over 50 house plans. Anybody use something like this?

    Yes I use the Photone app for my cannabis grow, but with an iPhone. it works very well for me but I gather it’s a bit different with android. They had a big update in the fall improving their android compatibility, if your on there supported device list. Look through their web site if you haven’t

    I also use it occasionally with my microgreen and herb grow, but I don’t really feel it’s necessary with my other plants, as my light level is set and forget with that grow

        I use it on my Iphone and it works pretty well, It does the DLI caculation for you. I cross checked it wth my LUX meter and it was really close so I take the PAR readings on faith

          I use the photone app and the ppfd meter app.

          I ended up settling on the ppfd app after I calibrated it in a tent with a known light source. Its close enough. I mainly used it to get an even light spread for the lights in the flower room and to set levels for clones. It worked really well.
