Planta’s light meter doesn’t seem to work for grow lights. The only app I’ve found that works is Photone, but it requires money ($3, I think?). Let us know if you find a free alternative!

Planta has a mode for grow lights in settings. It follows your set light schedule. So if you set for full sun than that’s 16on 8 off in grow lights. Part sun part shade would be more like 12 on 12 off. Shade would be 8 on 16 off. Full sun would be brightest light setting if your grow lights are adjustable. Part sun shade would be medium on the dial. Shade would be the lowest setting. Grow light height is according to plant height.
