To clarify I believe lux does differentiate spectrum intensity, it just doesn't take the FULL spectrum into consideration. If your lux meter reads the same number across your canopy your par meter will as well. The only time this becomes an issue is if you're mixing lights and throwing different spectrums around your room unevenly. In particular deep red supplements (660nm) will get missed completely by your lux meter. If you're running a full room a cobs this won't be an issue for you.

Even still, the difference between lights with and without red supplments is pretty minimal. If we look at HLG reddest WB and comparire to their bluest QB we get:

Blue = QB 288 4000k is 69.5 lumens/ppf
Red = QB288 RSPEC is 64.5 lumens/ppf

That's a pretty small range. Not sure if knowing exactly where you fall in that range really gives you anymore information.

With all due respect no consequential spectral analytics can be gained from this.

Spectral analysis? He's running cobs, we know the spectrum already :neutral:. He just needs to avoid hot spots and make sure he has an even spread. A par meter will offer no benefit for that task.

EDIT

Before this threads becomes LED And Other Lighting here some Salami Leg F2s.

I'm hating life right now, woke up at 3am, freaked out because I realized I fell asleep leaving my r/o filter running-filling up a 5gal bucket....since 730/8 pm about when I fell asleep watching election,(was exhausted from working in growroom past 3 days)

Have been shop vac'n since 3 am. Round estimate- 70-80 gals of water flooded basement. Pooled up in corner. Plants are fine, I'll be shop vacn till the dawn hours, fml and don't ever fall asleep when you filling up rez's. Just glad I didn't flood flower room and no damage to veg lights or wires. Luckily I always invest in heavy duty extensions cords!

Apogee MQ-620

That’s only our second par meter but it measures the par from a full spectrum LED light a lot more accurately than the other one we had, it would be reading like 800 on a light and the new meter would be saying like 1100.

The older par meter works just fine on our LED lights that are not full spectrum.

Were you using the Apogee MQ-500 before? I just picked up one, and I found the conversion values posted online were way out to lunch for lux meters.

You made a reference to being able to analyze spectrum with a par meter, you’re wrong. I realize now that you just made a stoned comment, but thanks for putting a flame to me ya turd burgler!

Been there bro, I feel your pain! You can get a timer that is a single zone hose attachment. About $30

Ya I'm going back to a larger lanscape trash barrel 50+ gal rez with float valve. I was filling up 5 gal buckets all last 2 runs because I was running more than a few strains that had different feeding habits. Cutting down to 3 strains with upcoming run so will go back to larger rez and if I need to fill 5 gal buckets will just transfer water from main rez to smaller buckets via sub pump. So much easier watering soil grows with sub pump and extension watering wand.

Thanks dude, that water wasn't that high at all, it sounded worse than it was, I have somewhat older ranch house so the basement is a bit sloped in the veg area so the water all went to one area and pooled there. It missed the entire veg space including the all cords, etc. I keep most of my cords raised for these types of reasons or unexpected accidents.
Think I freaked out when first seeing it at 3am...It was awful to wake up to, it like an alarm went off while I was sleeping and was like, ah fuck left the water running. Only took about a lil over an hour of vac'n straight up to get rid of all of the water. Honestly a shop vac is probably one of the most important and overlooked part of grow room.
