ABOUT THIS VIDEO: How to use light meter for plants
In this video we talk about how to use light meter for plants. Especially how to use a light meter for houseplants :-). I've read in some places that we can only use a PAR meter to measure light for plants, but this is not true. We can use a LUX light meter for plants and a Foot candle light meter. In this video we also go over the difference between using a par meter vs lux meter. If you have any questions, leave a comment below! I am not a scientist, so this is a pretty basic video on how to use a light meter for our plants. If you see I missed a detail or not explained the concepts correctly, please do let me know in the comments!
