Heat Mat

Post by The Aspie Toker »

Hi Guys,

I already have a heat mat, but it's not large enough for 3 plants. I spotted this and would like people's opinions...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Komodo-Advan ... :rk:1:pf:0

The one I am looking at is the 39w version. It will fit in the tent and is wide enough to fit the Wilma pots.

My main concern is water as the pots will have some run off from time to time (most will be drained in the sink, so there shouldn't be a lot of water resting on them)

The other problem will be the length of lead for it to reach the plug, but I am sure I can get around that somehow.

Thanks guys.

Could you take your plants out and slide it underneath the tent to make it a little more water protected?

Tbh this is what I've started doing. Just pop a 18-40w heat mat under the actual tent

I doubt it, and if I could, it's not a job I would fancy doing. It would be easier to plug it in that way though.

I have a Vitopod and other heat mats, but they don't have the length as the one in the link has.

It's real easy mate. Once pots are out the tents top heavy anyway so just slide it out an inch and then lean again the poles while you slip the heat mat under

Easy for some, mate. There's little room for moving it around. Don't forget my back is fucked and I'll have no help from anyone.

Anyway, I think the mat should be okay as it's for a vivarium, and animals do piss where they like. :)

Thank you for confirming. I thought it would be but best to ask... just in case I go down that path.
