I finally decided to check ppfd with the Photone app and realized I've been running the lights a little on the dim side (around 310-320 ppfd) so I bumped them up another 10% to hit 500 ppfd. Will be interesting to see if I notice a difference in growth rate.
Mine have been looking a little lackluster so I dropped the lights about 6" - no app - same theory LOL

I kept mine at the same height and bumped them to 55%. I've seen a lot of buzz about that app and it seems to work well as long as you put a piece of white paper over the camera to use as a diffuser. I tried it about a year ago and thought it was shit, because the numbers looked way off, but I didn't know to diffuse the light back then.

I try to keep my lights steady so the room stays dialed in for temps. Raising and lowering doesn't mess with that.

Add some different spectrum below 4000, I put some 3000k cobs mixed in with the 5000 and seemed to fix the issues I was having with some strains that wanted to drop a node every quarter inch. They stretch out a bit. My plants will seem a little yellow but that's actually the low spectrum cobs.

Yeah, I've noticed tight spacing under these Grow Daddy LED lights. Don't have the same issue under the Samsung F-Strips I have in the 4x4.
