That's why we're all here regardless of how many plants we've grown. There's always some new info someone thinks of!

Oh Yes, and I learn best by making mistakes. Reminds me not to do it again. Lol.

Apparently the light is much crazier than I thought. It was reading 11000 lux even turned down at 3 ft. Then again the app could be way off.
If it's a phone app they are notoriously inconsistent, not to mention inaccurate. I'm about to order a lux meter off Amazon today!

Yeh I didn't think it would be but apparently it depends on the hardware of the phone. Not so much that the app is bad.

I wanted one. They look expensive. Wife may kill me.
Lux meters are much cheaper than PPFD meters. I'll let you know what I find.
You can always convert Lux to ppfd online.
The converters I've found do work for fixed spectrum lights but not for blurple LED.

The QBs are full spectrum.
They should work pretty accurate with the QB’s

This is from the hlg 300. It runs at 260 watts. My 4 QB 132s run at 300 max and are more optimally spaced than a single board in the center of the tent because of the way i build the frame. The QBs each sit in the center of their 1.5'x1.5' section of the tent. I also think these numbers don't include Mylar.

Those aren’t bad numbers

Nice young ones! As long as you know the light temp of the QBs the conversion should be straightforward.

Ok finally had time to re-arrange the tent. Got the small guys under the 6500k cfls. Have the 2 clones and the older plant under the hlg 65 4000k. Now the 4 x qb 132s 3500k is turned off.
I am going to clean up the 3x3 side of the tent for use when the plants are a bit bigger.
Should be easier to control temp and humidity now.

Sounds like a plan! I think the three wise men brought CFLs, QBs, and gold to light up the manger.
