Ive got a couple of those cheap meters to try this withI bought a cheap meter that you stick in the ground that measures Ph, moisture and light level. I just take it outside in direct sunlight and see where the needle is. Use that for my reference under the lights. Just stay under where the needle went. Maybe not optimum but I am not trying to squeeze the most out of my plants (oh the horror).
After watching that, looking on Amazon now lolJust watched this video from Shane and this is pretty bad ass for people that don't want to drop 500$ on apogee par meter.
Uni t is cheapest but ships from China 2 monthsAfter watching that, looking on Amazon now lol![]()
That's what this guy did in the video, essentially. Im buying an 8881.I grab my 20 dollar cheap o meter and bring it to the grow shops to compare mine with their 400 dollar whammys. Then I see how mine compares. Then I know where my cheap o meter stands

There's a pretty large variance in the charts migro showed, from meter to meter, and dr meter wasn't on there. Ehhh. 10 bux- peace of mind....
I would cancel. Facts is facts. If you can do a simple math conversion, you can save 450...Wow that sucks. I just ordered a Pulse Pro.
Bad move? I can still cancel because they don't ship for another 5 weeks. I paid $475 for it with a discount code. I DO need a ppfd meter tho for the new Diablos.
But the Pulse does so much more than ppfd..................................I would cancel. Facts is facts. If you can do a simple math conversion, you can save 450...
