Guest ickiwoo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Might go with one of them myself not yet replaced the ecotechnics its currently just controlling the heating.Like you say would be better to monitor the root ball than ambient coz it would be lower than ambient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 the way i see it, by burying the probe and letting it work towards the magic 20ºC, it will then keep an ambient a few degrees higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ickiwoo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Agreed.On the previous post . Edited February 14, 2013 by ickiwoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'd put the probe half way up a pot and concentrate more on the lower down temps than the canopy temps seeing as the root temp is more important If you use an in pot probe then fine Owd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ickiwoo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Are we talking about putting the fan controller probe here,thought that was the question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Yes Icki, I'm going to put the SMS probe at pot level, then get a Root It! one for the underblankets. Edited February 14, 2013 by Budelaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ickiwoo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I would have though the sms would have been better at the top of canopy,umh got me thinking now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) They can take high and low temps, native to half way up a mountain etc. as long as your bulb ain't to close they will be ok. We need to work on media temps, which is what's stable in nature. Thanks for taking time to confirm Owderb.
