PAR : Accurately Measuring Grow Light Output on a Budget

• Do you know your PAR from your PPFD?
• Are you still trying to measure light with an app?
• Do you want to know how much light your plants need, how to measure it, and what's important?
In this episode I review a new product that allows for accurate measurement of light in your grow tent, garden, or anywhere! It's less expensive that previous options, and it's really convenient. Let's do this!

Thanks for your presentation. I just purchased the FH-100 (I think it's the exact same device) and appreciate your run-through. The cost of an apogee seemed a little overkill for indoor tomatoes and strawberries, lol

[@scottmiller1916]

It’s worth not getting NANNERS during flower, thanks brother!

[@aero-gro]

Indeed! And then there was light, and the Lord saw that is was good.

Thanks for sharing

I see they now have a VBR300. I wonder what the difference is between the 100 and 300? 🤔

So its this vabira meter a REAL PAR meter or does it convert lux to ppfd just like the ppfd app does?

[@aero-gro]

This meter is a REAL PAR sensor, minus all of the other hardware that a mater would usually have. That's what makes it so great!!

[@OurFamily-]

@@aero-gro Nice thanks, ive already purchased a different one but I may buy this as backup or second unit down the line.

[@marksmith-cg7wl]

I have the FH-100 par meter.
The first thing I did was use the lux meter and compare it to a DR meter(lux meter), its so far out, just checked again, dr meter (lx1330b) 9700(lux) and the FH-100 par meter 8317(lux)
over 15% out, no point using it.

[@aero-gro]

Your results are your results, but with your "comparison" there are many factors that you have not accounted for. A real test requires a controlled environments, known-good instruments, etc.

[@aero-gro]

You should post a video and show us the testing environment and setup! That would be very helpful.

[@marksmith-cg7wl]

@@aero-gro good idea, I have a small veg room setup, I can do a basic test with a few lights on, so you can see the display, I have done a side by side test with the FH-100 par meter and a LX1330B lux meter, I don't use the par meter. ua-cam.com/video/HnsVQ8wwk-U/v-deo.html
