Public Reddit posts about the problem. Nobody has lightfit yet. This page exists to find out if anyone wants it.

“PPFD might display 750 at 10AM… then 10 at 1PM… which number should I be using? How do I use the number?”

“I've tried more light and less light.”

r/plantclinic, dying jade, 393 upvotes

“Get a light meter and figure out quantitatively how much light your plants are really getting. It upped my plant game to the next level.”

One number. One answer. That's the whole app.

Not another 40 feature plant OS. Light, done properly, $2.99 a month.
