Inkbird Temperature and Humidity... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQWY9HM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I needed one that could also run the ac so the 1800watts was the main reason for this model. You can change the humidity and temperature sensor so you could change to what you need honestly really like it.
Yes and no at first the fridge would not stay above 34 rh after some research it's this model fridge and was able to tape up the sensor and now it is between 55 and 60 constantly so good...... But also think this might be because of the rain we are getting so just keeping an eye on it.
You are leaps and bounds ahead of the needed recommendation to start trouble shooting long before plants.
I use a Gosund smart outlet that has a few managed outlets. Some always on and a couple of USB.
I used this inkbird device last time. Little more than I need really. I might have gotten a similar effect with an AC infinity temp controlled inline fan/carbon filter instead of this guy. But it’s here now.
Congrats on the graduation to the next phase.
This is the one that I use.
You don't need it but you will work a lot harder to keep things right and it won't be as stable as if you automate it.
Seconding this. I've been very happy using this to control my humidifier and dehumidifier. You set a target RH and the acceptable range. For example, I've got my target set to 55% right now, so at 60% the dehumidifier kicks in and the humidifier comes on at 50% if the RH gets too low.
I grabbed mine during a Reddit giveaway/discount promo maybe a year back. Their official account is u/ink-bird if you want to stalk them for promos.
Alright, idk how to send pics on reddit.. laugh at me 😋.. so yeah i guess ill text it.. i have a heater set across from my grow tent about 5 feet away (its an electric oil radiator or some sh*t idk (bc its colder in my basement) set on a time. The NON HEAT PRODUCING small bright light inside, fan in tent, and humidifier thing all on another timer (same device). The humidifier is outside pumping air and moisture in at once. Mine could use more fae but Im working on it. Trying to fan a little air into there once a day or every other day or so, to exchange air. Edit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQWY9HM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share this is the timer device i use
I actually only bought one item from Amazon, the inkbird temp and humidity sensor. Link below. I had an old stand up freezer, a humidifier, and a little fan already. I started trial running it last night before I started drilling holes in the freezer and it works perfectly! I have a separate temp and humidity gauge coming to confirm at various points in the freezer, but so far so good.

Or get a Inkbird, it's plug and play (no wiring).
Maybe something like this. I’m not familiar w this brand but you get the idea.

The inkbird is pretty neat. My inkbird has two outlets and two sensors which monitor the temperature and humidity. You set a range for both of these settings (a max, minimum, and alarm setting) and plug in your devices. The inkbird lets power through to your heater or humidifier or vibrating buttplug when it sense the temperature or humidity is low and turns it off once it reached your desired range of heat and or humidity. You could by a single sensor for either heat or humidity but I figured since I want to eventually transition to a martha or tent that it would be cheaper in the long run to buy the one that does both.

I have a seven dollar timer from bimart(support employee owned businesses when you can) that I bought for the light. I will plan to use the same for a fan to set the intervals. For now, while I don't have a tent or a humidifier, doin the old spritzarooni.
Ah nice bro i dont the luxury of runnin an ac yet but hopefully gonna be able to next year.
Ah man you gotta get a few of these flower, veg, clone, dry, cure i use them everywhere honestly lol
Best money youll ever spend
Thank you. This one does 2 settings, maybe humidity in the winter and temp in the summer

All I did was add a controller to the carbon fan. I don't mind a little smell. Fan runs most of the time anyway venting humidity. I use this but I saw them as low as $25. Just search humidity controller. If you get a dehumidifier, you will need a controller anyway. The ones built in a extremely inaccurate. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQWY9HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_2Z5P5B9KNQHGCWDVWM8D

This what I use! Works pretty good
You're looking for a temperature/humidity controller. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQWY9HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_2QVGFbSCAF64Y
This will allow you to set a humidity/temperature level and turn something on to compensate. I have 2 of these and they work great.
My bad, it's not absorbing more water, it's water holding capacity is increasing which allows it to absorb more moisture if/when it's available. So increased holding capacity decreases the humidity.
Depending on where your humidity sensor is, it's probably just reading the initial vapor from the humidifier. End of the day, you're going to have to keep that humidifier running and you're going to be dealing with constant humidity swings every time your lights turn on and off and the temp changes.
I had a similar issue with my seed germination cabinet and ended up solving it by exposing the lighting heatsyncs outside of the box to remove that variable and using a crockpot attached to a humidity controller to keep the heat/humidity where i needed it. It just has a thermostat/humidistat that turns it on and off as needed. I use this controller. Super simple to use.
I control temp with an in-line thermostat hooked up to a space heater.
If you want to control humidity at the same time inkbird makes a temperature and humidity controller this guy for 69 dollars but you need to buy a humidifier and space heater to hook up to it
This is kind of the goal, just with remote monitoring. I’d say using a controller like this is the norm for everyone that builds their own aging chamber at home. I’m just looking for a way to monitor the status
Inkbird makes nice ones.

They turn on your humidifier and heater when you reach temp and RH.
There’s cheaper ones too. Like $45
Inkbird makes a cheap controller for this I’ve been looking at myself here Amazon
My local butcher has a big walk in dry aging refrigerator. They do giant pieces of of meat and some smaller pieces. They basically don't give a shit about temp or humidity. I have been there when the door was hanging wide open. I suppose when the door is closed it's probably 35F in there or something, but given that the door is wide open about half the time I am sure temps get higher. Average humidity is like 70% here. Pretty spot on, so that's likely why humidity is less paid attention to.
You don't need to turn the inside of the refrigerator into a wind tunnel, you just need enough turbulent air to effectively evaporate the moisture off the meat. Additionally, that evaporation will add some humidity to the atmosphere in the refrigerator. I use a small PC fan with speed control in my aging refrigerator. I have run it fast, I have run it slow, it doesn't make any difference. The only time I noticed something different is when the plug for the fan came lose and it didn't run at all for a few days. I turned it back on, the meat came out excellent. Hell, one time I had a bad GFCI shut the refrigerator off and I didn't catch it for two days. I turned it all back on, continued aging. The meat came out excellent.

No wiring needed. You just plug the refrigerator into the temp side, a humidifier into the humidity controller. I run the wires straight through the door jam of the refrigerator. No holes, no cutting, it works just fine. Get them to lay flat in the jam and the door seals pretty well. You can also set a pan of water in there instead of using a humidifier. For my area, I don't add any humidity. I just checked, and my house is 75% right now. It lightly rained this morning. I will note, the reason I went to the inkbird is because I don't look at the refrigerator for days on end. 10 days without looking is not uncommon for me. The inkbird lets me make sure it is all running without having to physically be there.
All of that said, it is pretty easy to set a decent electronic thermometer in your refrigerator and just dial in the temp using the knob. That's how I did it before I got the Inkbird, I aged at least 100lbs of meat successfully that way. From ducks, to ribeye, to pork belly, it all worked just fine. You have to remember, dry aging isn't exactly a new process. It was done before fans and before refrigerators were even a blip on the radar of humanity's existence. Keeping decent temps and good humidity does help reduce the chance of spoiled meat, it also helps the quality of the dry to an extent. But it isn't exactly the deal breaker people make it out to be.
You'd be cutting it pretty close.
You'll need a 4x2x3 or 4x2x2. Like this
The snake grows fast so it's best to get it's permanent enclosure as quickly as possible. And since they are semi-arboreal, it's good to give them room to climb. I would definitely recommend against getting a "starter enclosure".
For an enclosure that size you'll need a radiant heat panel as well as at least one heat pad for belly heat. Like this and this
You'll need a thermostat and humidity controller. Like this
You'll also need a humidity mister. I would recommend buying a very high quality one because these are the most likely thing to break. This is similar to what they use in grocery stores like this.
You'll also need a day light timer and a decent lighting solution. so add another 100 or so.
Then add to that all of the tank accessories like hides and branches to climb.
You're probably at around 900-1000 without the snake or the bedding.
3 most important factors: light, environment, genetics.
VPD is your friend!!! Keep that link handy as you get your environment dialed in. Having a temp/rh controller like an InkBird is lifesaver.
MiracleGro is plant death - it's way too hot and will nuke your plants. Anything with "delayed feeding" is to be avoided.
You'll want to research seedling feeding, as a lot of people will either overwater or underwater which can start you off on a bad foot.
Inkbird temperature and humidity control or just the humidity control.
Depends on the RH of the environment.
Veg has a diff RH requirement than flower and curing. It's good to be able to be flexible when you can.
Our winters get SUPER dry and you'll absolutely want to add humidity to your tent not only while growing, but when curing as well.
For what it's worth, you can find some cool shit like Inkbirds on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Temperature-Controller-Pre-Wired-Thermostat/dp/B07GQWY9HM
I've got one of those hooked up to a tiny cheap electric heater and a small humidifier. You can set the thresholds for when to kick on/off or alarm.
Yeah man! Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQWY9HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_71WREN45CRD6MQ77GQEQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I got it off Amazon and it was only $70! Pretty good for having both temperature and humidity readers 👍🏻
I am using this for both temp and humidity controls. Incredibly difficult to program but i got it now 😅
In Oshawa have a brand new Inkbird Temperature & Humidity controller up for sale/trade
I used to use this controller for my small tent. Combine with a manual switched dehumidifier and humidifier.
I’m using one these controllers [Inkbird Temperature and Humidity... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQWY9HM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share] it kicks in the fogger when the humidity goes below 5% of the setpoint .
You could attach some corrugated polycarbonate to enclose the space. Looks like you have room to screw it just under the eaves there and it would only leave tiny holes. You could also get some drain pans and put your plants in those if you're worried about water leaking. These types of pans are used under water heaters or like those under a laundry sink. Any home depot type store should carry them
Then just run the drains from those pans out under your balcony wall there. Humidity is simple enough to deal with by installing a backdraft port through the polycarbonate with a fan. I love these temperature/humidity sensors because they work great and are super convenient https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GQWY9HM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
plug the vent fan into the second plug for the humidity controller and you even plug a window fan into the temperature sensor to pull heat out into the balcony so you wouldn't have to use a secondary heater.

I use inkbird controllers, I never cut corners when it comes to my tents so I pay the difference and I haven't suffered due to it so far.
I have both of these I use them on diff tents but they do the same thing.

I second this advice. I use an inkbird temp/humidity controller. The nice thing is it can be set up to humidity or dehumidify, and heat or cool. So just pair it up with the appropriate appliances for your situation. Right now I have a small 500w heater and I use my 4inch exhaust fan to control humidity.

My RH stays within +/- 2% of where I set the inkbird.
Temp is also +/- 3*

Edit: it's a humidity and tempriture controller.
I made my chamber out of an old freezer, humidifier, a small fan, and this inkbird Temp and Humidity Control. The first 3 items I already had so this cost me a total of $75 and I have been making awesome stuff the last couple of months with it (check my profile for recent posts and pics). I am in Southern CA btw.
