I have a random question about this app. At my work I only have a large skylight in my office no windows. Every plant in my room is showing “too dark” on this app for the lighting. What to do when skylight is not an option?

The light meter i think is not as accurate. My living room is bright, full room gets outside light, but it still says dark lol. I would trust my eyes more than i would a code that’s executed with different hardwares in different phones.

So, i did an experiment.

I pointed the camera to a full spectrum grow light. And again, it’s bright. The kind that kinda hurts the eyes. Light meter thinks DARK

I pointed it to a pink light and it said full i think.
