Got the sensor's all wired up solid. Tomorrow will get some pics up after a little clean up. Want to see how stable things are now that its soldered to the end of some CAT5 cable.

Well never got to take pics of arduino and Pi mount. Did not stop to get brackets after work. I did stop and pick up a Hurricane 16" wall fan, but feel its to big for tent.
We do have a couple out of the gate: 1 of the Kwazulu and the Super Lemon Haze have seen the light of day.
The tent got some defol and a spray of de-stress.

The Kwazulu sounds interesting.

Here is a quick screen shot. You can see the change in room around 6pm when we started screwing around in there.

I like that you can plot the average RH and Temp. Do you have a set of sensors mounted high and lower in the room?

Ya, one is right at canopy level other is 16" above.
Decided to make a quick shelf to mount stuff to wall.

The patch panel is where the sensors can plug in. The Pi connects to the network wireless.

JM, I really like the idea of using the patch pannel! I have access to a ton of old patch pannels and CAT-5 cabling. Hell, you could even use regular phone line because RJ-11 will plug into the middle of an RJ-45 Jack on the patch pannel. I had been looking at using 3.5mm jacks but this is so much easier, simpler and cheaper!

And the white USB(?) is power?

Yes, power. I also have a power supply just for the arduino I need to hook up so it don't pull through the Pi USB.

JM, I would suggest getting a USB battery source to run in line. That way it will regulate the voltage AND function as a UPS. I've done this in the past and its helpful for uptime

The PI would need to run off of it also or it won't do no good.

Correct. My brick has 2 ports at different amp settings, but I have seen models with 8+
Here is a nice one with 4 ports and 50,000mAh capacity for less than $20
What I do is keep my brick charging, and the devices plugged into the brick.

The other Kwazulu and the Pure African have seen the light.
