So I downloaded the $8.99 photon app to test for my buddy @DoubleAtotheRON

im going to do some more testing here shortly and make sure all 3 sensor’s are same height as the next one

so far I say it’s a giant waste of cash from what I’ve seen

Im going to get all 3 sensor side by side and get them within mm in height of each other

iPhone 12 Pro is being used for testing

Not even going to look into it. But you’d need to buy a par meter or rent one to calibrate it anyways wouldn’t you?

Yeah you would, i just wondered if the accuracy could be enhanced by calibration, since you’re running it side by side with a $500 pulse pro.
I’m not at all suggesting the app is comparable, iPhones are cool and all but a real meter is the way to go. Thanks for posting the comparison, that‘s good info.

that was gonna be my question. how much a good meter costs?

rent-a-meter sounds like a better option.

@bk78 taking your readings, have you come up with a general height away from the plant tops that seems to be the sweet spot?

Every crop is different, so no I haven’t.

But I’m really just getting into this shit, with the new redesign of the room coming up this week I should really be able to dial in my lighting

Drainage is all buckled up and I will be putting them into the buckets tomorrow. Also lifted up their skirts a little today.

Only had 1 flood with the first test run

hey BK i just ordered 1 of these in a 5 gallon. I like the 3 gallon better but the 5 gallon has some holes on top and I have something in mind. Now maybe somewhere in these 203 pages you've said how you were doing this but I didn't see it. My question is how often and what duration is the feed pump set for? Thanks you very much!

I’ve never used their fertigation set up. Sorry I can’t help with that question.

Had a couple more questions asked on another forum about the photon app. I was asked to set my par meter to 1000ppfd to see if that changed the values with is shown in the first picture

Then I was asked to double up the diffuser over the phones sensor which made the app even more of a giant turd in the second picture

Conclusion…. Save your $8.99
