Now mind you I know very little about under canopy lighting just what I’ve caught in podcasts and I thought you wanted to keep you canopy lights at normal ppfd and the under canopy is just helping the lower stuff get the same ppfd as the tops. Might want to do some digging on that from folks doing it
I have the same temp gun. Good price and works well I am pleased. I need better light meter and how to find umol. Mine is lux only. I’m sure there is a way to figure it out. I need to look into it. I have just been watching for leav burn and adjust. With differences in height I know one or both are out range tallest being too high and shortest too low light. Still learning and most important still growing strong.My first run with under canopy lighting is coming up and it's going to be with autos. Not too worried about running autos. That tent will have the biggest autos of the run.
I will definitely be using the other canopy lighting and will be measuring it with my meter. I guess when I take my light readings, I want to take them separately.
Now I will assume that the ppfd you want to shoot for would be the sum of the two, but I do have some doubts.
My concern is with intensity of the light. I strive to try and have my lowest bud sees 600 ppfd minimum, with the way I currently grow.
I'm going to be augmenting with CO2 anyway, so I'm not going to worry too much about it in that aspect.
I just kind of want to know exactly how far I would be pushing the plant.
I'm pretty sure that I can ask the guy from Craft Farmer on exactly what figure you need to utilize.
And now I got another thing to throw into the mix. I just got my email saying that my package has been delivered. E.This is my new AC Infinity temperature gun with VPD.
Now I have to get it straight in my head on how leaf temperature comes into play and where I need to make my adjustments in my AC Infinity exhaust fan controller. I haven't delved into that very much at all, yet. It's another rabbit hole.
Yeah, I can believe that, but you do have to take an account the extra lights which will put the load on the root system from the extra light hitting the leaves. There will be an increase in consumption CO2.Now mind you I know very little about under canopy lighting just what I’ve caught in podcasts and I thought you wanted to keep you canopy lights at normal ppfd and the under canopy is just helping the lower stuff get the same ppfd as the tops.

Search on Amazon for this model. It has worked flawlessly now for 4 years. I think the current price is quite a bit higher than what I paid for mine, but that's 4 years ago. Seem like I saw it a few months ago on sale, so maybe check on it every once in awhile. It's a great unit!
