Humidity sensor position

[The70’s]

Where do you put your humidity sensor ? For all my grows in my 4x4 tent, i hang the sensor from my ac infinity 69pro controller usually between two plant canopy’s

Of course i read a million (not really a million) different sensor locations people recommended….

Just wondering

I like to place my sensor, Controller 67, about an inch inside the leaf canopy. There is a difference in readings outside the canopy and inside. I'm more interested in monitoring the microclimate in that area rather than the air in the tent itself.

Hard to argue with that logic

I put mine in between the plants . I placed hygros in different areas of my tent and they all red the same. CL

You are wanting the environment around your plants to be on point so having the humidity sensor in that zone makes perfect sense.
I also made a cover for my humidity and temperature sensor to stop the light from heating it up and giving false readings

My tent is 2m high and my gauge is at 1m

If you have proper air movement through the canopy and in the tent humidity should be the same through the entire space.

It differs some because of the accumulation of transpiration that is happening during photosynthesis inside the canopy due to plants being all around and the air not in the open to freely move.

Yes, air should be circulating but there will still be a slight difference regardless.

With proper air flow it wouldn’t even be measurable without sophisticated equipment that none of us have!

ok

I just checked on my plants, I played around with the sensor and found that there’s actually more humidity out in the tent, then in the canopy, so I guess if I’m humidifying for my plants, I should see what the humidity is within the canopy….i think

Its a pretty wide rode
Its kinda nice that we can share here, and see how different methods really do work… i understand the firm ground people take because its given them such solid results ! Buts rarely the only way

That's odd I got an msg saying you responded to me but it's not there?
Anyway you can place your sensor where ever you like.
