Hehe funny you should ask that.
I set the tent up and run for a while with no sensor cover. The fan hitting the sensors does have a reaction but it does not hurt the numbers until you get a confluence of events. What I mean by this is when the tent runs the temp and humidity will run on a cycle. They will go up and down over time and this can make for a chaotic set of numbers.
Let me show you what I mean on a trace.

You can see that when the humidity over swings the vdp has leaks and valleys. We have good control of temp but fair control of humidity. This tent is running at a .08 vdp wave over an hours time.

This shows fair control of temp but better control of humidity. It is much easier to control the tent numbers under low humidity. Flower is much easier than veg. This tent has a .o6 VDP wave.
From my last run I have come to the conclusion that pinpoint numbers for temp and humidity matter less than the changes over time that cause the plant to halt and start transperation. This is most easily tracked with VDP. The plant will adjust to temps and humidity but the mechanical breathing and nutrient uptake of the plant can not be modified to much of an extent. It is a physical property of plants and must fall between a certain range and the most important of those appears to be rate of change m

This is awesome info, I'm definitely gonna do some more research and dive down this

🕳, give me something to do play with in flower room
