PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) 🌸 Flower

PAR readings taken across many points in the footprint of a light rather than a single fixed point, giving an average distribution over the grow area.

Jeremy defines it as 'more like across everywhere instead of one fixed location' — recommends pulling PPFD maps from the light manufacturer's website with a tape measure instead of buying a meter.
