Do you use a model 69 controller? I run a small oil radiant heater in my tents. Works really good.

It's been awhile since i posted anything on my 1gal challange and my photo grows. I will get to it when my lights come on at 0822 LOL what do you think about that timer @BearWater . I've had power breaks so it threw it off and i never changed it back LOL. Still at 12/12 though ummm hopefully. I've been feeling flu sick for nearly a month now partly the reason i've not be so involved. Chest and now muscle spasams mid back from coughing. Went to visit my sister this weekend she's been concerned about me so i had to show myself and my brothers stayed with her so all 4 of us together was like the best feelings. I promised them i'd call my Dr. and get a appt. so now i got to do it. When lights come on i'll get some pics up. I'm dealing with some yellowings though so i need to fix that. At the least my cough doesn't produce any yellow or green ever it's just clear but thick yuck. Hey i worked in hospitals for 35yrs so sorry if the mention of mucus pukes you guys out.

Hey Natep! Yeah I have the 69 pro : ) I’m in the market for a radiant heater, Costco usually has some come out around this time. I was considering going to the “re-store” but figured for piece of mind I would buy new.

What size heater do you use? Wattage?

Hey Nate im not sure if you were asking about the controller in regards to on/off with the heater. The heater is plugged into a dial timer for now, im going to plug it into the controller with a smart plug. I love that thing!

Fire hazard. I bought one went back the same day. Turned it off before going to sleep. Several hours later smelled burning unplugged it. The power cord was red hot in the off setting.

Yeah running the heater always trips me out. What was your setup? A heater plugged into the wall? Was it a brand new? Did you have it on timers or anything like that?

Last winter it got really cold and my heat pump for my house hvac locked up at like 2 am ( and the government wants to mandate electric heat people would freeze to death ). So I bought a portable oil heater to move around the house for some heat based on reviews on this board an oil heater would be safe. After returning it I found lots of reviews. One guy it melted the power outlet, including pictures. The device was directly to the wall. The instructions stated no power cords or anything should be used.

That sucks man! And scary too! I was looking at reviews of heaters and now dont trust them hahah! Even though most of them are BS to begin with. Hmmmm… im looking at moving my veg time a bit to keep the lights on that side and could cycle some of the warmer air into the lights off flower side! More ducting and inline fans!

This is the one I use in my 2x4 tents. It is really small. Seems to work well.

Are you having to max it out? Or is medium and low working for you? That looks like a nice little unit. I’m thinking something like this would work good in my room, it doesnt take much to get it warm. It’s just the staying warm that isn’t the greatest.

I control the heater off my model 69 controller with a uis plug. Having it all on 1 controller makes it super easy.

I do the same. Have you had any issues with the outlet? I had one stay on even when the controller was saying it was off. And now just today the same thing is happening to the replacement. It started working again but I feel like it’s just a matter of time before it happens again.

I think you’re in Oregon? I saw several posts on other sites talking about something going around in Oregon. I also talk to doctors offices about insurance and have talked to several sick nurses.
