DLI Citizen 1212's

[423]

Would anyone help me out to get an idea how many hours it would take to achieve a good DLI with 200 watts through 4 1212 clu-048 3000K 80 cri. Probably 8-10 sq feet small closet.

Numbers is hard...lol any help is appreciated.
Im running some autoflowers while I veg some photos but one looks like its gona go overtime, so Im trieng to figure out if I can still get a good yeild out of the auto at 12/12.
I'll probably have to do it either way, or try to let the auto go in a high humidity tent.

You need a PAR meter otherwise your guess is as good as mine. There alternatives but imo a PAR meter works best in combination with careful observation of your plants.

You could try the photone app. I just read about it on here. If you've a good enough phone camera it gives fairly accurate PAR readings. I think that number you can convert to DLI?

Thanks Ill check on that. I've heard about apps for par but wasn't sure of a good one.
I think that'll help me decide weather to use the closet im in with good temperature and humidity or a tent with ok temprature and high humidity.

If I can see that its close to good on light Id feal safer with less light and good humidity.
The photos I want to flower are indica and wouldn't have much of a chance with 70%+ humidity. It does great for veg though.

They are approximations at best that can get you by though I believe the iPhone app is a bit more accurate but still in the range of approximation. General white light LEDs are a bit simpler to measure but adding extra blue and or red is where a quantum sensor is necessary. This even applies to cri90+ lights as they begin to reach a more sunlike spectrum achieving higher ratios of blue and red that a phone not lux meter can accurately gauge.

I think the photon app was just for apple. I tried a different one for my android.

Theres a big difference one side of the closet compared to the other, I knew the light is off center but I thought it would've been a lot more even

You can try but Android is worse because there is no continuity with light meters in those phones. I say read your plants leaves for best results until you find something more adequetae

Yeah, I don't know what else to try that isn't a bunch of $$. But, buy good tools you use and it's worth it. Buy once cry once.

Thanks for the help
Ill have to adjust the parameters on that app I was anxious to try it out before bed. Big job interview in the morning...The early bird gets the worm, the early worm gets got.
