@shawn
PAR is the amount of light that plants can use rather than, say, foot candles which indicate how much light people see.
I use this on my iPhone although it is also available for android:
My Sprout measures 424 on the deck with the light all the way down. My AeroGarden Classic (CFL) measures 105
Here is a good explanation:

Hi lynnee , were you able to use the link that scarfguy posted to get access to the new grow lights? It might be unrelated but a friend tried to shop the sale today and her password didn't work. She asked to re-set her password but AG didn't send her an email. She finally gave up. , you might want to pass this response from AG about my missing order info along to your friend: She should contact AG Customer Service about the problem, so that it can let the web team know that her account isn't working.  |

Hey! Thanks for the link to the iphone app. I bought an expensive light meter last year.
This app works just as well if not better.

Got my trio light today. It's really nice! I haven't decided what to do with it yet.
You do need the app to take full advantage of its capabilities.

Been sick for a while, was well enough to unpack my stems and put them with the 2 plants I've got so far!!
I'm looking forward to getting more plants and lights set up! Have two more stems right now, and a table light and trio light on the way. I really like these!! It'd be nice if the prongs were longer though.

Hope you are back to 100% very soon! Glad you are having fun with your plants and gardens!  Is that C-3PO's head in the background!? |

Thanks for sharing a photo of your stem lights in action, maskedsonnet . I hope you feel better soon. Hey lynnee , I also lost a portion of my purchase history on my Aerogarden account. Everything prior to September is gone. I discovered it when I went to check the shipping status on my new Tabletop grow lights. They should arrive tomorrow, yay! It looks like the problem with my purchase history happened when I changed my password after Aerogarden updated its website. Wasn't that in the beginning of September? Anyway, thanks for letting us know that Aerogarden is aware of the issue and is working on it. |

It's a golden skull!!
His name is Gideon (in reference to one of my favorite book series).

Got them hung up!! I've got the lights scheduled for 6pm to 6am, and they light up my living room really well without having to turn on the room lights. I really like that for when I'm on night shift, really brightens things up for me! I bet it'll be even better when I finish my greenery project!! I'm thinking I'll stagger the lights as they go up around the room, so at least 2 will be on at all times. We'll see as more shipments come in!!
