vistaprime Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) hi, where does one place a digital thermostat reader and also digital Heating Thermostat sensor ( instead of a thermacube), in order to gauge and control the temperatures inside a boxed up palm. Is it better to have the temperatures measured on the ground or nearer to the crown of the palm. many thanks.

Allen Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 If you look at the very first picture in this thread you'll see how I do mine. It should also be placed as the thermocube on the non-sun side to avoid false readings. I use a thermocube - 1 on each palm so I can't answer your second question. The protection temps will vary on each palm so ideally a temp sensor needs to be in the crown of each palm under the protection but slightly away from the lights/heat.

I will keep temperatures senors at the crown and away from the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
