About us. Our 9 year history

GoToGarden started in 2017 out of personal frustration. Our founder was a hobby grower who spent hours navigating online shops that felt built by people who had never touched a plant — cluttered layouts, vague product descriptions, no real guidance on what to actually buy or why. He knew there had to be a better way.

Why Accurate Light Measurement is Essential for Growers

Optimizing plant growth hinges on understanding the light spectrum your plants receive. Insufficient or incorrect light can stunt development, reduce yields, and compromise overall plant health. Apogee Instruments provides growers with the tools to precisely measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD), and even the extended PAR (ePAR) spectrum, ensuring your plants get exactly what they need across all stages, from seedling to harvest, in any medium.

Apogee Instruments: Unrivalled Precision in Light Measurement

This collection features a comprehensive range of Apogee Instruments' cutting-edge devices. For measuring PAR/PPFD, consider the Apogee Instruments MQ-500 or the Apogee Instruments SQ-520. To delve deeper into specific light ranges, the Apogee Instruments MQ-610 and Apogee Instruments SQ-616 measure ePAR (400-750 nm). For advanced spectral analysis, the Apogee Instruments SS-110 spectroradiometer covers 340-820 nm. Specialized sensors like the Apogee S2-412-SS Downward-Looking SDI-12 NDVI Sensor and Apogee S2-411-SS SDI-12 Upward-Looking NDVI Sensor monitor canopy health. For data logging, the Apogee Instruments AT-100 microCache provides Bluetooth connectivity, while the Apogee Instruments AC-100 USB cable facilitates PC connection. Don't forget essential accessories like the Apogee Instruments AA-100 Protective Carrying Case.

Apogee Instruments: Scientific Standard vs. Generic Meters

Unlike generic light meters that may offer broad spectrum readings, Apogee Instruments are engineered for scientific accuracy. They provide calibrated measurements for specific light wavelengths and photon flux densities, essential for research-grade applications and professional cultivation. For instance, while other brands might offer basic PAR readings, Apogee's spectroradiometers and ePAR meters deliver detailed spectral analysis, allowing for precise light recipe tuning and advanced crop monitoring crucial for optimizing growth beyond what standard meters can achieve.

Choosing Your Apogee Instruments Solution

Growers prioritizing detailed light analysis for LED lighting setups in soil or coco mediums should begin with an ePAR meter like the Apogee Instruments MQ-610 or a PAR/PPFD meter such as the Apogee Instruments MQ-500. For underwater PAR measurements in hydroponic systems, the Apogee Instruments MQ-650 is the choice. Growers focused on canopy health monitoring should consider the NDVI sensors like the Apogee S2-411-SS SDI-12 Upward-Looking NDVI Sensor. If long-term data logging and analysis are key, the Apogee Instruments AT-100 microCache is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PAR and ePAR meters?

PAR meters measure light in the 400-700 nm range, essential for photosynthesis. ePAR meters, like the Apogee MQ-610 and SQ-616, measure the extended spectrum from 400-750 nm, capturing important wavelengths in the far-red spectrum that can influence plant development.

Which Apogee Instruments sensor is best for monitoring plant canopy health?

The Apogee S2-411-SS and S2-412-SS SDI-12 NDVI sensors are designed for monitoring plant canopy health. They measure specific wavelengths (650nm and 810nm) to calculate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).

How can I connect my Apogee Instruments meter to a computer?

You can connect many Apogee Instruments meters to a computer using the AC-100 USB cable, which comes with ApogeeAMS software for data transfer and analysis.

What are the typical price ranges for Apogee Instruments meters?

Apogee Instruments offer a range of devices from entry-level meters starting around €121 to professional-grade spectroradiometers up to €535.
