As far as probes go isn't there a +/- 1% variance on most of what's out there? Unless you're buying high grade scientific equipment none are going to read exactly the same. This stuff has lower QC standards.

True, but at least it allows for calibration (or at least most of the stuff does) so if you have an idea yours is out of whack, there's a chance to adjust it to be somewhat closer.

You can effectively calibrate to freezing, but you have to cover your sensors with plastic because you'll need to submerge them in an icewater bath.

But if your sensors aren't in the same part of your room/tent they'll probably read differently anyway. I have a handful of sensors in my room that have been all fairly close, but when they're put in different corners they can have up to 5f degree difference depending on which of my circulation fans are on and blowing at that given moment.

Agreed, digital temperature probes are very accurate. Out of about 30 various devices, almost all of mine are within 1 degree F, or better.
Humidity measurements are another story.

Get ONE while they last. You aren't allowed to PREORDER more than one. If. you think it's because millions of people are growing their own all across the country and millions were sold the first day, you'd be wrong. Growing may have taken on a few more devotees due to legalization, but this junk isn't outselling baby formula these days. The reason for the debacle of a rollout is because JinPing has been deliberately shutting down labor in his country to cause problems in the rest of the world.

On the day these went on sale I logged into my ACI account and added everything I wanted except the fans as they weren't available to buy yet, So I kept refreshing and watching the clock. In between 5 second refreshes they came online. I tried putting 3 in my car and found out they only let you have 2. Change the cart and started checking out in less than a minute. By the time the charge tried to go through they had already sold out. I got a screen telling me the transaction couldn't go through because I had more in my cart than they had left.

So a piddly little hydro company ran out of new product in less than the time it takes to sell out a Rolling Stones concert, doubt it. They were stringing people along for months and they let the hype build even though they knew they didn't have anywhere near what would be needed to cover all day one sales and all wholesale orders placed with some back stock. No, they told everyone they'd be ready on a certain day and they were. Likely all 10 of them that they even had in their possession. Now the PRC wants you to give them your money to hold onto for a month until they send it do you. Maybe.

This is a PRC controlled company. They are an example of what is happening in this country. The PRC is opening up "American" businesses by buying storage facilities around the country and starting up retail websites. Take a look at Amazon lately. Nearly owned by the PRC if you take a look at more than half the junk they sell there. Take a look at the sellers info on all that junk. Most are actually PRC sellers literally running their Amazon business from China

I mean, I agree, but the tone of this comes off like a guy on a street corner yelling at people.

We need to start and keep buying from actual allies and not from our enemies.

It feels like democratic ideals are slowly being bought out by autocrats

I doubt that any slight variance even matters when growing a plant like cannabis. I actually don't even have a fan inside the tent. I haven't had one in the tent for years. My airflow comes from air movement from the bottom vents to the carbon filter/intake at the top of the tent for the exhaust fan. I can look through the observation window when the tent is zipped shut and see the leaves on the plants moving which tells me there is plenty of air movement and exchange and no need for any additional clip on fan inside the tent.

My growing philosophy is more aligned with "what can I get rid of" rather than "what can I add". That's the way I like it. The simpler the better. Less moving pieces is my goal.

Since I don't have AC and I'm using fans for trying to constraint the spread of temps and humidity, my ventilation fans aren't running terribly fast... in a range of 0-10 they're in the 2-4 range in general. That gives me the 75f-86ish overall spread though weighted in the 78-83 area. And my humidity is riding 49-53% in flower.

Even if I get a couple of these new oscillators, I'd probably keep them alternating hourly and might move something up to blow on top of the lights when it gets summer-warm and the temps could creep up into the 80-90f range.

I seem to do better with intake/exhaust setup rather than passive intake.

I don't have fans facing my plants but I need oscillating fans to circulate warm air down under the canopy.
If I try to control humidity with airflow I'm starting with 70%+ so it's not an option for me.
I keep air going through my tent continuously but slowly enough to let the dehumidifier keep rh% favorable and not chill the below the canopy, it's 9c 81% here today.

I would be that guy on the corner :)

I tend to spend a majority of cash online and as of the last year or so you can just see the obvious decline of the system to the point of where it's acceptable for shippers to charge for services they can't provide etc. I do agree we need to be buying from actual allies and not our enemies. While All these companies are out there trying to earn your dollars, remember the importance of keeping US dollars in the US. Most people don't even consider where an item was made let a lone the company they may be buying from.

The PRC is betting you'll just keep their economy going because you won't turn away from them, mostly because there's no business in the US that's geared up for making this stuff and most people will always buy the cheaper costing item as it appeals to basic human nature.

I run dehumidifiers on the level that the tent is in my home, and they're set to really keep the RH on that basement level in the 40-45 range, though that becomes difficult during the summer. So, if my ventilation is running too hard it lowers the temps and reduces the RH in tent to the 40-45 range. I'm happy enough with it at 50-54% in flower, but do by best to have my lights on temps in the low to mid-80's which is both my target and priority over the humidity. I can kick up more circulation if I need by just adjusting my every-other hour 2-fan alternation to put them both on most of the time.
