I remember getting in on a poster’s profile ( they got locked out while I used it ) pretended I was gonna do “something” ( trying to be mod friendly here :bigjoint: folks ) to myself …..

I would type …. “ everything is going black …. Arrrrrggghhh “ ( literally TYPING THIS response and other posters didn’t catch the ridiculous nature of what I was typing ) …. Seriously I would type “ Aaarrggh or I think I see the light “, “ everything is getting dark - cough cough ‘ just like an old bugs bunny cartoon and they ate up every typed response. It was amazing to me how long I was able keep convo going at that time.



Those were the days … lol.
Sure I might burn in hell for stuff but not that. bongsmilie

None of your results mean anything until you use that app right. Also, tiny little seedlings in 38 DLI is a great way to kill your seedlings...luckily that number isn't right.

That Photone app is kinda cool in concept. Is it close?.... fairly. A couple of us have done side by sides, and I really think it depends on which phone you have. I do use it as a tool, but only as a guide. Otherwise, I read the plant. I've gone this long without spending $500 on an Apogee, but have spent good money on tools for things I cannot see like a good root zone PH meter. Priorities.

It is VERY close on an IPhone 7. The free version will give very close readings for white LEDs even set on 4200k CMH. I occasionally buy a month of “premium” to set lights etc. $5. One thing I noticed was absolute accuracy on k rating on all my fixtures.

Yep, it all depends upon the phone hardware. Some are better than others. I compared mine to a Phantom PhotoBio and this was the result:

Just got done feeding and watering, but also got some time to play with meters. Didn't have a tape measure at hand, so I basically took 4 measurements (with boxes of different heights) with both iPhone XS Max/Photone (with diffuser that's .5" off of the lense) and the Phantom PhotoBio. Then I did 4 more sets (as I removed the boxes), but with a basic diffuser on the iPhone that was just 20lb paper wrapped around the phone (not raised off lens).

iPhone XS Max (raised diffuser) vs. Phantom:

Photone: 470 Phantom: 411 Photone: +14%
Photone: 628 Phantom: 550 Photone: +14%
Photone: 852 Phantom: 767 Photone: +11%
Photone: 1262 Phantom: 1135 Photone: +11%

iPhone XS Max (wrapped diffuser) vs. Phantom:

Photone: 1198 Phantom: 1122 Photone: +7%
Photone: 750 Phantom: 735 Photone: +2%
Photone: 672 Phantom: 644 Photone: +4%
Photone: 573 Phantom: 530 Photone: +8%

A few things.
-I'm surprised that most of the previous substantive reviews put Photone/iPhone at 10% UNDER Apogee readings. Every reading I took was over.
-After one of the reviews going on about how a raised diffuser helped accuracy, but obviously for me it was better with one right on the lens.

Maybe they've tweaked the app after all the feedback of 10% low to read a bit higher? Anyway, in my instance (phone type & version, etc.) it actually isn't as far off as other people have with other phones.


Just some photo proof. I didn't take shots of the flat diffuser, as I was doing that as an afterthought:
