Rabidrejectstarted grow question 3 years ago
How do people here monitor their grows? I have temp and humidity controllers that hookup to wifi so I can control them away from home but sometimes the reading is unexpected and I want to see so I just bought one of them wifi cameras that tilt and pan and have night vision :)

Hi there RabidReject, yeah man, congrats on the cool set up, i've got much the same but with commercial-grade controllers that have all these lasers and shit lmfao. Do they work? kinda. Basically what happens is the sensors can get foggy due to the humidity and the in soil sensors get a similar issue which can lead to weirrd readings. so you want to wipe them down as often as possible... That's just how it is, even with the 0 dollar controllers it's the same story. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I honestly don't monitor outside of a couple of cheap temp / RH gauges. With an organic soil and water only grow I don't have to fight as hard with things. I used to fight like hell with temp and RH and then I moved the tents to my basement. Temps stay pretty steady and don't fluctuate as much there. So, I started with cameras and fancy stuff, but simplified the grow to water only and timers for lights so that if I am unexpectedly gone for 48 hrs, I know the worst that is gonna happen is they might be a bit thirsty.

serious question about VPD value in the tentI'm not sure which values I should consider more important, or both.
I have one sensor about 10cm above the Canopy and one sensor directly below it.
I am trying to keep the VPD optimal in this grow, but which one is the "right" one?

pH Pen Calibration Frequency?How often should I re-calibrate my PH pen? I have a cheap Milwaukee pH600 and after 3 months of use it had drifted enough to cause real damage (was reading 5.8 when chemical drops read ~4.0). Alternatively, is there a reasonably priced option that would avoid this?Week 12

Set auto system for VPD or RHI have AC Infinity set up. I am wondering whether I should have the humidity triggers set up for VPD or continue with RH triggers. So far I have it triggered when humidity gets a tad low. If I trigger for VPD, I think I will have to constantly check leaf temp. Thoughts?
