light meter

so i got a bond 3 way light moisture and ph meter and the light ranges from 0 to 2000. does anyone know what the optimal reading is for my plants.

0 to 2000 what

I have one of those 3-way things as well, and it has 0-2000 on it too. I'm not sure what it measures 2000 of, but in my tent, the meter is maxed out about 3 feet under my hood. Under a 125-watt daylight CFL, it doesn't max out till I almost touch the bulb with the sensor. It's not the most accurate device.

So to answer your question, optimal is as much light as you can get.
