My tape measure doesnt have that many lines on it
My tape measure doesnt have that many lines on itWe must be creative to grow weed!
I have a caliper, so I did some measuring. The cable is 0.0295 too wide. It wouldn't be hard to grind it down. I'll do that tomorrow. It fits in the other direction. Tonight, I'll reinstall the old heater.
I have to ask, you don't have to answer, what do you do for a living? 90% of people would not have a caliper in their toolbox so I'm curious. I'm one of the few that has a couple calipers in the toolbox as well.We must be creative to grow weed!

We are the 10%90% of people would not have a caliper in their toolbox
I'm retired. Over my long life, I've done many things, including machine shop work. I've operated lathes and milling machines and arc welding. That was early in life.I have to ask, you don't have to answer, what do you do for a living? 90% of people would not have a caliper in their toolbox so I'm curious.

Perhaps. The new digital calipers are relatively inexpensive and extremely useful tools. I use it frequently.We are the 10%lol

Never got into the digital ones. Thats what I get for workin with a bunch a old guys stuck in their ways hahaha. They are very useful! I have used mine a hand full of times at home (all for fab projects), my kids haven’t yet noticed them and I would like to keep it that way lol. When they’re ready my shop is their shop : )I'm retired. Over my long life, I've done many things, including machine shop work. I've operated lathes and milling machines and arc welding.

I was messing around with this for part of my exhaust and my goodness! I may have been too high at that moment, but I could not make sense of it haha. Are you going to be posting anymore updates here?I also changed the buffer from 2º to 1º.
I suppose so if I have anything to say. It's likely I'll have some tweaks as I get to know it.Are you going to be posting anymore updates here?
Not a big deal : ) im just really interested in these little heaters for the safety aspect and also the connectivity to the controller. I’m using any info I can get as a purchase decision : )I suppose so if I have anything to say. It's likely I'll have some tweaks as I get to know it.
I run my exhaust 24/7 so I prefer the transition setting for fans, I use a 2 degree transition for my fans. Heaters and Humidifiers I would run buffer.I was messing around with this for part of my exhaust and my goodness! I may have been too high at that moment, but I could not make sense of it haha.

Not true, but not sure why your quote popped up.Anything a weed youtuber says to do will be a total detriment to your garden.
As long as your heater uses less than 1000 watts, these work great for binary switch heaters.Looking for a good cheap thermostat for my little tent heater. Would a seed mat thermo work? I can't see why not but wanted to get some input from some of the more experienced growers.
This is on my radar....

I'm using a 1º buffer so far, but I noticed this heater also has a transition setting.Heaters and Humidifiers I would run buffer.
I think any equipment can be run with transition or buffer settings, of course other equipment requires the controller 69 to access these settings. I don't think you can use buffer and transition at the same time on a single piece of equipment, I could be wrong on that though.I'm using a 1º buffer so far, but I noticed this heater also has a transition setting.
Control plugs don't. They're only on or off. Some of the AC Infinity devices have their own controller. I'm thinking of some of their lights, like my T22. Their humidifiers and heaters come with their own sensors, as well, so they probably can, too.I think any equipment can be run with transition or buffer settings, of course other equipment requires the controller 69 to access these settings.
The Controller 69 Pro doesn't prevent it. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an algorithm in there somewhere that negotiates between the two.I don't think you can use buffer and transition at the same time on a single piece of equipment, I could be wrong on that though.
That's how I understand it.Buffer is more like a swing setting for on/off, much like a household thermostat, that's my understanding anyways. Transition is a speed increase/decrease swing.
Yeah control plugs don't, I consider them adapters rather then equipment.Control plugs don't. They're only on or off. Some of the AC Infinity devices have their own controller.

I don't have time for a long answer right now, but a quick look at my phone app shows buffer for most things, even lights.According to AC Infinity Controller 69 manual, buffer is only available for outlet adapters.
I 100% believe you and wasn't challenging what you said.I don't have time for a long answer right now, but a quick look at my phone app shows buffer for most things, even lights.
IMO, trying to run your grow from charts will be disappointing. I did that for two runs following and staying within range of VPD. Got some decent weight but nothing to write home about. I decided that I would set my temp and humidity to what I know are a good middle level for weed in general and adjust from there trying to APPROXIMATE the VPD values. Incorporating both science and experience this run yielded me a new record run.Hey @LoveGrowingIt (and all), I just got my T3 delivered and plugged in and wondered how yours was going?
I'm immediately seeing seeing a tighter temp range which obviously has a positive domino effect on humidity and VPD. Gone from a 3.7F range (peak to trough) with the oil radiator I had over 30mins to a 0.6F range over just 1/2minutes with this which is great.
Now I've initially got mine set to try and hit a VPD level (1.2kpa currently in flower which is on the lower end of the scale but higher humidity here at the moment means I'm not keen on increasing it, and subsequently the temp, too much more in the tent) but not sure that is the best way to go about it. Lots of differing opinions abound on the web as always. Maybe I should be setting a temp target (I think this is how you said you were using it) and then working from there to hit the VPD? Setting a VPD target has caused the temp to be higher (up to 78/79' at times from around 74') but I think this is ok for now. As long as your hit the VPD you want the temp is sort of irrelevant, within reason of course, isn't it?
Problem I've got is my humidity as it doesn't really drop much below 50-70%, on average, year round (SoCal). So I'm thinking maybe I need to get a dehumidifier (for flowering) inside my tent. Shame ACI don't do one yet! Any suggestions most welcome that work with their smart plugs.
How do you use yours these days? Any tips or tricks after a few months experience? I haven't even looked at buffering and transitions yet if I'm honest.
