It starts with a Cable TV ground block. You cut off the mounted F-81 fitting with a hacksaw. Replace the small screw with a knob of the same size (10-32 on some)

Next you take 1/8" by 48" steel rod and bend the angle you need
Now you pick up a small hollow nylon that is just smaller then the 1/8? steel rod. Heat the end of the rod with a lighter. Push the steel rod into the nylon the heat will melt the nylon and make it hold on the end of the rod. Use a small screw to attach the outdoor probe of the temperature. You don??t want the temperature probe to be in contact with the steel rod that would give inaccurate readings.
You can move the probe up and down as needed to keep the temperature probe at the average height of the canopy.
The indoor/outdoor digital thermometer??s are about 10-15 bucks.
i wonder how much you grow on average, to kno all this.. u must make a killing...
hmmmmm nice thing to have, i was thinking to get a wireless meteo-station for 40-50 bucks, this gadget reads min/max for humidity and temperature and comes in two pieces, one in the grow room and one wherever i am in the house.....i had a link somewhere but i lost it, there are many brands around though....
NGOS:)
When I built and started using my probe those were not available on the market. I picked up a few last year but to keep them in the same place they cast a shadow on top of the plants and blocked the light. That thing was huge!Quote:

Shiest- - If I ever sold any I would make a lot of money but for me I supply a group of other medical users who can't grow on their own. Money does not change hands, it's a labor of love and friendship.
have a look what i'm talking about :

i know it's a foreign language but i'm sure you get the idea.....do you think it's any good to buy it?

You would need to mount it at the height of the canopy and be able to move it up and down for real time readings.
yes, i agree....i plan to mount it on one leg of the grow room next to the plants...would not be difficult to move it up and down....
great idea
