nah, its what some idiot on instagram posted on my pic, Doc derp had a go at him for me haha.

nice one @Doctor Derp, that guy was so sour!

Noice, how many plants was the 45ish from? Never grown the blues
No worries @Madmungo ! I was just making fun of some idiot who said that on instagram, like @lukio said. That guy was as dull as a half eaten crayon.

yeahhhhhh, i knew when i picked a load of OG's to flower i'd get less...still hurts a bit! Had the gas man drama n stuff so i'll shut up and take the 53..its better than taking everything down at week 7ish. onwards!
....Or getting grassed up by the gas geezer!
Do you know the cheapest way to get a good PAR/PPF reading without spending £100's? I have a lux meter but that doesn't seem like the best way to measure with much accuracy.....

lux/69 is as close as you'll need, dude. So for example 60000 lux / 69 = 869.5

Im pretty sure for the white leds thats good enough. Ive questioned it here a couple times and none of the gurus said anything, so....its good enough for me!

a decent lux meter is 10 or 15 quid

should kinda match the numbers youre expecting?
Yeah, I tried working it out in my head a while back when I was stoned and I came up with 77,000 lux = 1000 PPFD which going by your method is pretty close.
I seem to remember you mentioned the 69 figure a couple of years back in fuk420 and a few of the "gurus" took the piss....still, LED's don't grow weed as you've proved ;)

@Stone_Free WAY too much science for the flat earthers.

cheap as chips! did you get a dimmable driver?
I haven't ordered yet :(
The money I was expecting to hit my account today didn't appear and won't until Tuesday so I have to wait until then. Bit annoying but I can wait an extra few days. Was planning to get the HLG-240H-C2100A with the dimmer you adjust with a screwdriver.

Got 3 plants in veg under my blurples and they won't be ready to flip for another 3-4 weeks I think. Still, next week they'll have a couple of 3000k strips to help them along.
