I need a good PAR meter?
Papa_Tanswered grow question 4y ago
Apogee MQ-500. It’s the best on the market and it’s helli expensive. I know because I have one. 🤣
If you’re serious about growing and money isn’t an issue get this one.
If you like doing math and being 20-30% off then get a lux meter and do some conversions. But it’s accuracy over many spectrums and set up configuration will not be accurate.
Check out Bruce Bugsby on the Apogee YouTube channel. They have a few videos about the MQ-500 PAR meter, how to use it and it’s benefits.
Hope that answers your question.
Cheers and happy growing.

Follow the mars ppfd maps and there is a DLI calc you can find on google - type in waveform dli calculator and it should help! A PAR meter is expensive, but following manufacturer ppfd maps and a free DLI calc can save you $$!

Rusting leaves?What can I do to remedy this? Is it a calcium deficiency? I’ve been adding 5ml of cal/mag to a gallon of water, can I add more? Will the grow dots suddenly release lots of calcium? I’ve also top dressed with natures living soil flower power and worm castings.

Trichomes and lifespanI’m not good at getting good trichome-shots of her - I really need a non-phone-relying microscope.
This is amber trichomes right? I honestly don’t know if it’s from the bud or the sugar leaves...
How long do you guys think she has left?

Time to flip?have 4 x Rqs Shoguns. They moved as seedlings to 15l air pots on 12/12/21. They’re between 14-16” tall. They’re currently on a 20/4 cycle, in Guanokalong complete and using their nutes too. They’re very bushy! Is it time to flip? Should I defoliate? I’ve only grown autos before

Trichome ColourGetting a few of tiny spots of mold/rot on one of these plants in particular...
Thinking of harvesting now to stop it getting any worse and affecting the other 3 plants. Are these trichomes looking cloudy enough to be worth harvesting now? Don’t have any better magnification.
