I forgot to ask: what sort of PAR meter are you using? And is it any good? Or are you using a lux meter and converting it to PAR?Hey bud, yeah I lollipoped em just before Chrissy, but have only selectively pulled a few from the top. Will definitely being going to 4 x pots on a flood tray next time. I got caught out with a couple of slow clones and it would have been beneficial to be able to lift/move the buggers....
4 weeks to go, if they finish a bit earlier sounds good, but I hope they fill out.
I pretty much followed @Or_Gro mapping for 6 x QBS. The outside ones are about 7" from the edge of the tent vs his 1" (4ft 6 vs his 4ft tent). Its got me to a starting point where I'll get this grow under my belt with upgrading to QBs and back to Coco. I am running 950w at the wall and 8-900 ppfd at very top of canopy. Probably could be a bit more efficient but I'm away for a couple of weeks so it will have to do for now. Next time I will spend a bit more time with my meter to see spread and see what I can come up with.
Didn't take me long to turn the wick up did it, sigh.... told ya
Best wishes everyone and once again thanks.

I can vouch for apogee mq-500...I forgot to ask: what sort of PAR meter are you using? And is it any good? Or are you using a lux meter and converting it to PAR?
Eight 288s in a 4x4 work great, with supplemental reds and co2...I have four qb288 in my 5x5 and I would recommend six. Run three pairs with each pair of boards running end to end.
Yes, I've been looking at the Lighting Passport, which does everything (PAR meter, spectrometer) for around $1300 here: https://www.lightingpassport.com/I can vouch for apogee mq-500...
Can’t speak to quality and performance of lighting navigator, but you don’t need to have spectrum and ppfd on the same meter. So, your overall approach is a good one.Yes, I've been looking at the Lighting Passport, which does everything (PAR meter, spectrometer) for around $1300 here: https://www.lightingpassport.com/
But for $750 I can buy the cheaper Lighting Navigator which provides spectometer and lux, but not PAR: https://www.lightingnavigator.com/product/lighting-navigator/
With the extra money, I was going to buy an SQ-520 for the PAR meter side of things and use the Lighting Navigator for spectrum.
What do you guys think?
Yeah, the sekonic sensor is attached to meter. Works great for growing, where ability to get a single, quick, one-handed reading and spectrum are more important than multiple, precise, two-handed readings for mapping.That's good to hear. Does the Sekonic light sensor not detach from the main body? One of the advantages of the Lighting Passport is it can be controlled remotely by your phone using Bluetooth and you can fashion your own wand to push the sensor around as you record. However, the Apogee will be the more accurate unit, which is why I was leaning towards getting both.
