WalMart has some dehumidifiers for reasonable prices. :thumbsup:

Seems like risking the health of your crop on a $2 gauge might need some re-thinking. :jointsmile:

well i don't know what else i could get thats the only one iv'e seen and they were in the garden area of home depot are there better ones?? and if so where?how do u know if one is good or not??

[Oh So Grow So]

pale, there are definately other gauges at home depot. I just saw them yesterday. you can get a digital thermo/hyogrometer for 30 bucks.

also, I found out the hard way that neither home depot nor wal-mart has dehumidifiers in stock at the store. So order one online NOW if you want to get it 10 days from now.

You can look online to find different types that are available and what the prices should be and then you can order online or find what you need at a local store.

...maybe be pick up a $10 one on the way just to have for now, and as a backup.

You don't really know if one is good, so you need a backup to check on your primary. Unfortunately, you have no way of knowing if your secondary is accurate so you either have to put a little faith in the instruments or start thinking redundancy in terms that get real anal, real quick. :D
