Hello friends, i have been using this as a guide as to the amount of light my plant would need: https://aquarium-digest.com/tag/lumenslux-requirements-of-a-cannabis-plant/

I curious as to what is your average LUX Value recorded using Handphone lux-meter Apps in your setup? (i know your LUX Value will spike closer to the source, but what is the average reading from your plant's canopy?)

Appreciate your sharing and your help. My average reading is only about 1k at the canopy(either my phone camera is a bust or i need more lights, possibly the latter).

Edit: I know that i should be more concerned about PPFD, but i have no idea how to find the PPFD emitted by my LEDs, so i need a flux approximation.

the lumens is just what we can see. not what plant . see. youll need a par reder. in the bright sun light i get between 9k to 1k in grown room can read from 100k and with the light inversion you loose 25% for every foot away from you grow lights

Lux meters won't show the lumen rating in a proper DE room... it is simply too much photon flux for a cheap lux meter to read.
