Interesting 😯 so us using those lux meters on our phones isn't going to give us too accurate information 💁

If only there were cheap or even easily accessible ppfd meters.. us boys just gotta trial and error like real hobbyists

It is a bit of money for a PAR meter, but if you're not using a trusted brand for your grow lights, it's probably worth the peace of mind.

Yea the lux meter on the phone is pretty useless for PAR. 

But it is still a good guideline in terms of light intensity and light placement. 

If you have decent lights and you trust your lights, then the lux meter is pretty handy
