It would seem I'm getting conflicting readings when using the ppfd meter on my phone with the built in sensor. I'm now considering that method useless and I would have to get a bluetooth sensor for more accurate readings. So I have gone ahead and resorted to the grow light's manual, which probably should have been the first method. It says that the light should be 24-30 inches up with seedlings so I have moved it into that position. This is higher than I've had it and so we may see some light burn symptoms on that first true leaf coming out. Also I'm using a temp probe to get a better reading on the actual temperature of the garage. Setting my heater to keep it around 80 is proving difficult.....haha. BUT, that's why we do these things. Definitely a good thing I've run this test to find out what doesn't work.
