I’m getting a whopping 1871.7 PAR!! 
 

Blimey why don’t they cook? Is it the wind? Suns full spectrum? 
 

Self watered outdoor plants are loving this intense radiation. What’s the secret here? Co2? 

 

Still lost on this topic honestly.

 

Do you check PAR on the top canopy only or you take meaurments in other points ( bottom cola for example) inclusing lateral and if this is the casehow to you ballance and decide the best spot?

If i have 800-1000Par on the center i will have 150 on the lateral. If i have 800-1000 in the center i will have 150-200 on the bottom cola.

What if i have 800 PAR everywhere but 1800 on the center top?

They dont burn out but foxtailing as crazy.

You need to have as level canopy as possible, and take it from the top
