Help with thermo/hygrometer placement

Post by Growmie »

I was wondering where in the tent would be the best place to get a true representation of the RH/Temps?

I've just ordered a couple more of these, but I realise since I've only been running one I've only actually been monitoring probably what is closer to root temps and under canopy humidity, I understand this changes throughout the tent. So where should I be aiming to place the others?

One at root, on top of a pot and above canopy?

Where would be the most important place to hit the "sweet spot" for both humidity and temps? I assume canopy level for humidity as that's where the buds are forming and then temps for root zone?

Sorry for the illness induced rambling and maybe I'm reading too much into it but any help would be appreciated :thanks:

I agree I always have mine at canopy level and at pot level so that I can make sure both the roots and canopy are on target
