Hmmmmm.......... might they be Magic Mushrooms??

My Layered mix is throwing shrooms …. Maybe I should try growing some spores sometime.

All are preflower and doing well … kelp in water . Cali heat is starting and they are daily drinkers . Ewc / ffof recharge top dress . I have seabird guano on standby for phosphorus bump if needed … my original layered
mix tapped out a bit too early last time.

Really trying to avoid bottles . Quantums are purring along and no issues ….

LST needing some additional adjustments but will do later today.

Like growers routinely blast lead into their grow lights.
Maybe phosphor coating is kevlar. But , incredibly some idiot will buy them. Diode pieces are ebay shit - lots of listings on those and “ cobs “ .

He gets your dough you get electrocuted

@pop22 How's that photobio par meter working? Do you have anything/experience to compare it to something else (another par meter, or a lux meter you used with a conversion factor)?

I think bk78 just bought one. He was going to do a comparison with another meter. Not sure if he did so or not.

My pulse pro was 40ppfd from the mq500 when I tested it against it. And the photobio is 39ppfd from my pulse pro.

So with my testing it’s bang on with the mq500

Thanks. Found your other thread regarding the par meter(s).

So is the photobio 39ppfd off from the pulse pro back in the correct direction of the apogee? Ie: it's not just 79ppfd off from the apogee.

Nutrientshootouts compared the pulse pro to an apogee sensor on youtube, btw.

From my readings the photobio is bang on with the mq500. I mean 20-40 ppfd is splitting hairs anyways imo.

I've not had anything to compare it to personally. It works well enough for my needs, but If I get the chance to doa comparison, I wll.

The 40 ppfd error, is it consistently low or high? If it's consistent then it's usually down to the spectral response curves of the par meters.
