Pretty space monkey!
Update on my end with wonder wookies and madre azul: day 56, i think theyre looking like 70days to be fully ripe. Wonderful berry / purple / hawaiian punch aroma from the wonder wookies, with one having some cedar. Madre azul is lemon citrus berry - just like the description! Wonder wookie seems like it will yield well - depends on density. Pretty happy with these - first go with led for flower and they did well. Didnt push the brightness too hard this go, maxed at 650par, next time Ill go higher.
Madre Azul:
Thats just using the app phototone. Yeah any decent meter seems to be costly⌠phone app seems to be good enough for a ballpark guess. As long as its consistent its somethin to work off ha.
I have one of the apogees. Got a friend to go halfsies on it with me. Also my local organic grow shop (BuildASoil grow shop basically) has one they will let you borrow if you buy a light. I bought mine when Build A Soil had a big sale on everything on their website.
Iâd call around to see if you can borrow/rent one for a day.
ive had the apogee epar(pq-612) for about 18months now. if i had to do it over again i sure wouldnt waste the money. the bluetooth logger has had to be returned due to killing batteries(6 uses for 2 minutes each). i did use it the other day but thats only to keep notes. if you look at the ppfd maps the mfg suggest i wouldnt worry about a meter.
apogee was good about getting me a replacement bluetooth logger since it was under warranty.
Wasnât the big drive to use Li-Cor and Apogees driven by the fact most quantum & light meters either werenât detecting or there was improper weighting of light above 650~nm, which was a big problem for blurples using mostly 660nm Red diodes? Iâd assume if youâre a hobbyist using mostly white lights it shouldnât be a big deal anymore and ultimately just function as a reference point.
I bought a used Apogee 500 series back when I was assembling my own lights and was curious about coverage , intensity, penetration into the canopy etc. Realistically hardly ever gets used and would have spent the money on something else if I could go back in timeâŚ
I´m using it, and it is good, especially after calibrating it in the hydro store with their PAR meter. It wasn´t off that much at all initially anyhowâŚ
Letâs keep it to the bodhi topic guys⌠weâll move the above talk of par meters into another thread shortly, but letâs keep the train on the tracks.
Got 2 Cherry Lotus @89 days 12/12 from seed. Both very compact, fat firm buds 4 sided with fairly narrow leaves. Smell like nervous type sweat. Both still making new flowers but getting more amber trykes each day. I expect these down this week. Dusted one with Soulmate magic. Hoping for beans.
Sour Diesel Chaco Cut x 88g13HP have been sexed so popped 3 one kaputz ⌠#1 is male and #2 female ⌠Topped them and hoping they take their time to stretch out enough for me to clone to kill.
