Par meter

[bamburgb]

So I was curious when you use a par meter on your tank do you test it when the lights are at the highest intensity of your program or through the daily cycle? I’m thinking of renting a par meter to check my tank but am curious as to when to check it.

I would test at a few benchmark brightnesses so you can know the range available. Maybe 20, 40, 60, 80, 100% or something.

Would you do just blues then just whites or do both or what? Right now I have 6 times set in my programming,

 

0700: B= 0 W= 0

0900: B= 55 W= 5

1000: B= 80 W= 15

1200: B= 100 W= 25

1700: B= 55 W= 5

2000: B= 0 W= 0

I'd make sure different I test a full 100% so you know the real capacity. I'm no expert, but if want to know the range of possibilities

Thanks I’ll test them both like the way you suggested.
