chasv77answered grow question 5 years ago I imagine you will get all kinds of answers here.
I use a grow cabinet, and I have two thermometers.
I use a velcro attached one, to the door about halfway down.
I also hang a thermometer (remote with base unit) about level with top of canopy in the center of the cabinet. I feel this is what the plant is experiencing for the most part. The door one is a sanity check, to indicate what is going on below canopy. I am ok with these disparate temps, as internal cabinet circulation from bottom inlet out through the top of unit, mixes air well.
If you are in a larger, more open grow area, I'll let more experts chime in.
