LIGHT SOURCES Calibrated for all grow light types: - Full Spectrum LED • Red/Blue LED • HPS • CMH • Natural Sunlight MEASUREMENTS & HISTORY - Save unlimited measurements with timestamp - Filter by plant and light source - Export to CSV for analysis CALIBRATION Use with Apogee MQ-500 or similar quantum sensor for research-grade accuracy. 11 LANGUAGES English · German · Spanish · Turkish · French · Italian · Portuguese · Russian · Japanese · Chinese · Arabic Whether you're growing tomatoes, microgreens, or orchids — GrowPAR gives you the data to grow smarter.
