Humidistat levels vary wildly between Inkbird and ETI humidistats..
Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago
I have two humidistats, one is an Inkbird 200 for control, the other is ETI 810-195 just for display.. The ETI is showing roughly 9-10% higher humidity levels compared to the Inkbird. Does anyone know which is more accurate? I want it get these humidity levels just right 👌🏼

Hey Mate,
Visit the websites of the two brands you got!
Every measuring device has a tolerance. See what tolerances your 2 devices have.
10% is quite much, but normal for cheap products...
Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞

Thanks Chuck324 and OimRausch.
The inkbird is superior after checking the specs. So once I’d worked out the variables it’s not that far off.. It’s been harder to gauge as fan is running off the Inkbird controller so we’re losing a little RH each time the fan goes on.. So it was causing the figures to look really wild..
Thanks again.. 🙏🏼

Hello. I suggest you go buy another cheap Hydrometer and see which is closer. The hydrometer is my most used tool. Good Luck. Chuck.

Can I close the door of my closet?My tent is located in a closet kind of room (5x2 meters) and I was wondering if could close the door during the night because the fan is a bit noisy. Will it fill the room with exhaust air/humidity and damage everything inside (the plant, also the clothes that are in the room)?Week 5

Best Humidifier for 3x3x2 grow tent and best way to set up?I’m about to buy a dehumidifier. Finding one with programable humidity levels makes them too big 4 my tent & the small ones can’t be programmed to turn off when humidity is too low. Can I get a cheap one with no controls and manage humidity with my Humidistat alone? Will it work?Setup. Ventilation

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? ThanksSetup.
