Hi, I added a grow light to my plants since they are far from a window. If I have the grow light, then in the plant info I put in the Planta app for distance from window, would I put zero feet? Or leave it as the distance from the actual window? I don’t have the premium version of the app so I can’t access the info for grow lights.

Hmm I would guess to put it as zero feet in that case. I would then monitor for a couple weeks to see if the watering suggestion is on track

I put it at the actual distant, and as long a I have grow light selected then it seems to not give me the “too dark” warning.

But it probably doesn’t matter too much.
