Amare PPFD mapping

[Hybridway]

First off of like to thank Victor from Amare Tech. For making this possible & for always providing the best customer service & care possible.

About to start mapping. I said I'd do it live so here we go. Setting up now.
The Apogee MQ-500 is the Par-Meter being used.
First light will be the Pro-9 in a 4.5'x4.5' area @ 42" + 32" w/ & w/o lenses.
Bare w/ me, this is very time consuming & my room's full of plants.

TY so much @Hybridway for doing this. If it's not too much to ask can we get a fresh thouie put up somewhere in the HPS room and get readings on it too later on?

Here's our enclosure measuring in @ 4' tall by 4'6" x 4'6" wide.
Squares are 1' , 2' , & 3'. Outside edge is 4'6".
Measurements will start @ 42" & then @ 36" which is recommended hieght for this unit. Although it can be used down to 24".

 

[Hybridway]

42" High, leveled in both directions.

997 Center reading w/o lenses @ 42"

I... I mean we demand more numbers, the suspense is killing me

 

[Hybridway]

42" w/o lenses: 603.96 PPFD.

This is actually a recommended height w/ lenses, not w/o.
Guess I Kind've wasted my time on that one.

 

[Hybridway]

Any questions before I move down to 32"?

 

[Hybridway]

Next we're going to 32" as that is what I believe to be a good growing height w/o lenses. Man, this is serious work. Haha!

 

[Hybridway]

1344 Center reading @ 32" w/o lenses.

 

[Hybridway]

32" w/o Lens = 707.15 PPFD In a 4'6"x 4'6" area.
Next up we're going w/ lenses @ 36" & that will be the last one for the Pro-9 unless there's any special requests.
I'm going 36" instead of 32" or 42" because I believe that to be the best growing hieght. You guys think I Should go 32" or 42" to see the differences?
36" is recommended height.

HPS and Straight COB's now

I'd love to but this is mad work & I have an opp to finish building & get into flower.
All my HPS is packed up in storage.
Lenses next. This is where it gets real intense.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

I'm gonna need to rent that meter from you when you finish lol

 

[Hybridway]

36" w/ lenses center reading 1969. Maybe a lil high for recommended hieght. I think it's 42".

 

[Hybridway]

Pro-9 @ 36" in 4'6" x 4'6" = 854.72 PPFD
OK, now that I'm blind, gonna call it a night.
I believe 40-42" would be the best height to use this light w/ lenses.
32" looks pretty good w/o lenses.

I wish we knew how much power was going to the monos and the the COB's separately.

I believe it's about 400 each. Don't have kilowatt meter.
