Which monitor do you use in your garden?

[@Fexone718]

Pulse one

[@superiorbuds]

Been running 10 Sensorpush units for 3+ yrs now and loving them. Recently upgraded to the High Accuracy versions across all the grows. Especially love how I can pull the data myself via their API...

[@dertythegrower]

I would say 90 percent of the market is using pulse, apogee, trolmaster and for sure for water sensors, bluelab and apera sensors is getting big now also.

[@mertelnd]

Is there a subscription fee for either?

[@adnh27]

Mr Grow it , tell the Dude from DGC that the boys in ALBERTA grow better than them in BC !!!! Hahahah #AlbertaStrong

[@fadedmass1662]

Govee bluetooth monitors got an update just recently. Now they read not just temperature and RH, but also dew point, and VPD. They also track data for up to a year in a graph.

[@dmo848]

Did u have to do anything to the device? I'm not sure if my humidity is set right. Temp is spot on.

[@fadedmass1662]

If your humidity feels off there is a calibration setting. Put the monitor next to a couple others you trust and adjust it to match.

[@dmo848]

@@fadedmass1662 I do but the app won't go past 20 negative. Unless this other hygrometer is pure trash. Idk 20 just seems 2 far off

[@fadedmass1662]

For the govee, go to setting, scroll down and there's a calibration + - and you can set it to what you feel is right. That should fix it

Isn't it wonderful how technology has helped the home grower. 🤜🌟🤛🌾🌾🌾

For sure, automation is the future for not just this but all crops. Robots will be harvesting our recreational herb indoors under LED in 10 years mark my words. This is great so long as electronics never go out suddenly to run perfect to do it all for us.

[@aras_mileska]

Great info, thanks! I bought SensorPush.

[@GrowingwithGeorge]

I use 2 sensor push’s the HT-1 and they work great!! No complaints!! If I was to make a suggestion to them I would add co2 and light detection… if they want to make it have a par meter that’s cool but to notify me that the light was on when I asked it to be off and or if the tent was left open and it’s light should be off… that would be cool!!

[@Garage_Grower]

Thank for the info all most got the Pluse going with push now

[@GardenShackGlass]

The SensorPush has been great for me, but am hoping they continue to evolve. Super easy/intuitive to set up and use.

[@ChadWestport]

Great topic, those two seem to have a pretty good market share. Thanks for the video Mr. Grow It!

[@enverrodriguez2109]

I got 3 SensorPush on Oct 10, 2018 and last June 2021 I had to replace the batteries for first time. Is amazing how reliable are and precise…very happy

[@Tap_Roots_Growing]

I currently don't use a monitor but have been thinking about getting one. Always with the decisions 😆. 👊✌

[@Loki_FPV666]

I don't have either now but I'm thinking about getting the basic Push model. It has all the features I'm looking for without a bunch of extras I don't

[@Oheeeoh]

I just used your code this morning to buy an AC inf 6" fan and 4x2 tent. Thanks for the video!

[@myhobbygrow]

Was looking at one of these devices, then found AC Infinity has a similar set up. Giving that a try now. Thanks for sharing great information

I use a HT1 and want my $$$$ back for my unused Pulse 1 because I didn’t not have WiFi at my grow witch is my fault for not researching better. Thanks 🙏 for the video

It’s “peek” bro… “peak” means something else (like tripping or something! No worries!!!!

[@kennethsledge964]

Hey Chris, great video, extremely informative. I use the Niwa Grow Hub. It gives you Temperature, Humidity, VPD, DP and you can add different components to the Hub like your Lights, Humidifier/dehumidifier, AC/fan etc. What I like about them is that they are constantly working to improve the product and welcome all feedback. I had a list of concerns to present to them and within a month, they basically addressed all of my concerns.

[@Photosyntech]

Would be good to bring Niwa into the discussion, monitor and control at the same price point as the Pulse with all the same features. Good video Chris.

[@budstermcgreen6360]

Seems a good product! Their power strip controlling devices inside the grow. Lights, fans and dehumidifier/humidifier among other things. With the ability to turn them on and off. It's only rated to 15 amps so it has its limitations. If you can keep the lights on a separate controller it frees it up to control everything else safely. ✌️

[@captainpeckerhead4551]

Always Great info Chris thanks..

[@davehansen4208]

I’ve been waiting to purchase a control system. Like lights seems so much new stuff is coming out so apart of me wants to wait little longer.great video, happy growing 🤙🏻

[@tatt-vantucky8175]

Good stuff! I’m needing to setup more sensors

[@pushinpure]

I’m going with the Pulse and Pulse Pro. Being able to connect to my Grow from anywhere I have a signal is almost as relieving as smoking a great bud. I love that the People at Pulse made templates for you that can really be of help to newer growers and your also able to manipulate those templates to your liking or just make your own. But for a smaller and closer Grow I wouldn’t mind using the Sensor Push

[@escapemike1]

thanks for your great videos, Chris. I use the Govee monitor. It's wifi enabled and only cost less than $40. Does not require a hub. Works great!

[@austinmonroe3894]

Me too! 👊💪💯

I have one of each so I use both. I find the sensor push app is a little easier to use than the pulse app, but do like that the pulse is wifi ready so I didn't need anything extra.

[@Kristina-dy9do]

Definitely going 2 buy myself one of those monitors

[@Chris-cq5dy]

It's great to have much technology at your fingertips great content great video u the man Chris great tips ti know for the future

[@BigJim5754]

I've only used the Govee but it seems great. A lot cheaper then either these 2 options. Measures Temperature, RH, VPD, and Dewpoint. Bluetooth only. Setable alerts as well (RH temperature etc). @ $20ish for 2 units! I also use govee plug outlet controller for my space heater. Has times setting options, timer options etc. Only $20ish for 2 plug outlet controllers. 1 app to use both items. Plugs also wifi and blutooth w alexa capable. Check the govee stuff too.

[@mrogers6126]

Which govee unit do you have? Or do all of them measure vpd now

[@dmo848]

Love govee. About to grab the fan to add to the tent with the humidifier combo. Lol what tttt. Sounds like a killer set up to me. Technology is the shit

[@VermonsterGrows]

I dont have either but I'd like that sensorpush might just look into getting one!

[@TheDcPohl]

Pulse has been a game changer for me. Added for redundancy now it's the one I use most

[@Fexone718]

At the end of the day u gotta work within in yr budget, I think both devices r good. In my opinion there's some things in life u shouldn't cut corners on. IF....... if u can afford it don't skimp out on yr lights and yr hygrometer. PULSE will bring u peace of mind ! Either the pulse one or pro will treat u right. Like anything do yr research, and use yr budget wisely

[@budstermcgreen6360]

I wish AC infinity would add more features like this to their fan controller. If the light hits mine just right..you can see the wifi symbol and Bluetooth icon. It's just not available..yet. Hopefully something they will add in the future! The sensor push does seem a good value in the meantime. ✌️

[@superiorbuds]

The AC Infinity Controller 67 is wifi enabled w/ an app.

I've just never seen that model before..I thought they had just built that stuff in and would offer it later down the road as new features. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Just picked up 2 sensor push monitors fingers crossed

[@burnercomented]

Soooo.....how can you accurately get a constant reading on leaf surface temperature? Even with a thermal gun...you're only getting that reading at that time....how would you know if it changes and what changes it? Yeah VPD is tracked, but how does it constantly track specific leaf temperature? What about a thermal imaging camera?

[@adnh27]

Serious info as always in your videos homie!

[@waltd6006]

I use govee Bluetooth devices. One in each tent(3). No complaints.

[@patricklittledew6261]

AC Infinity tent, fan, carbon filter, and monitor everything through AC Infinity control panel. The neat thing is the app that allows you to control the room from your phone. Note you must be at home to use app as there is no built in wifi function on control panel. At least to my knowledge (new grower, 3 weeks in)

[@citygonecountry150]

I got the sensorpush as a direct result of watching your videos and I love it..i have not gotten into vpd yet but i will in the future and i will upgrade my sensorpush. I wish it detected co2 as well. I have a cheap co2 monitor that im not sure its accurate. Running tnb in 4x4 and its reading 475.

Great video and will definitely help me make a decision between the 2!!! Can you do a video on the ac infinity controller settings? I seem to only get 1 automation working at a time on my controller 67

[@dipster14]

Don't have either of em That sensor push is a good competitor but when u add up the wifi and the best version of the SP you're pretty much paying the same as the pulse pro...in the end it's preference. Solid

[@superiorbuds]

First units yes. Once you want to expand is where Sensorpush really takes off -- you can add a 2nd Pulse for $200 or a 2nd Sensorpush for $50-$90. Same for the 3rd, 4th, etc.

[@335alien335]

I use 4 SensorPush temp/humidity sensors and their Wifi module. If the power (and the internet) are out, the Bluetooth has enough range to reach through two walls and continue to work through the app on my iPad directly. Very convenient. They've really helped me get my environment sorted out as well as making it easy to see when something isn't right. The ability to look at a weeks worth of temp and humidity graph makes seeing a trend easy. I've spotted A/C and dehumidifier problems and timer troubles, too. I don't see the need for light level monitoring. As soon as the the light comes on in my garden, the temp goes up. Real noticeable, real fast.

[@lutherslurbank3480]

GROW RATIO FTW👍🏾👍🏾

[@cannivent]

Great review was looking into this. I run 3 HT1’s w/ a gateway. So far very stable though the temp updating and alerts get delayed at times. Was curious about the pulse, though for the extra money it doesn’t seem to be anymore accurate or stable. Maybe better in commercial applications or if you just have the extra chips 🤷🏽‍♂️. Have you tried the ink bird versions ?

I do like yo have a sensor in my grow but as a read out not trackable data things are getting to crazy for me in cannabis as they go along all these new things only push to get rid of error which is nice but also comes at a price the automation episode and this one really arent for me. As I love tending to my plants and being involved with my plants. Dont over feed anything I wait for them to show me what they need and how they are doing. And data that anyone can hack or monitor. Remember these companies don't care about their customers and if some law enforcement comes In sure they are gonna right away give all your data to them no questions asked so you have to think about these things in this forever changing space. But automation and data aren't a growers best friend unless you legit. But in a recreational state where your allowed to grow a certain amount is just as legit as someone who paying the state only difference is I'm not selling anything I grow and smoke what I grow. I'm not going above or beyond the limits provided to those in a recreational state. My 19 stock had me good well into 2021 cause I'm not greedy so I wad able to hold in 2020 cause I had the stock to do so. Which was a blessing. 2021 I'm at it again and looks like things are gonna be great again so if the world goes back into believing this made up situation I'll be fine again. I often as what the difference from a grower and farmer a grower wants to grow as many plants and get more more more. A farmer is one who plants every year to get whatever they need from that year and is comfortable waiting til next year to do it again. But a grower is all about more more more and I don't want to keep expanding and using more water than I do. I get what I can for when I need and wait and start all over again I believe that's the difference between a farmer and a grower is being comfortable with growing an amount and seeing where that goes and not more more more mindset of a grower a farmer respects the time of year your allowed to grow and takes advantage of that but massive electric footprint while consuming more water isn't what I'm into or looking for myself. I'm trying to save the planet not keep it spiraling out of control but that's just me an indigenous person who's ancestors are from here that's why I'm from a tribe and place where our people have lived for thousands upon thousands of year long before and after America we will be here

There are people who spend $1,000 on equipment and get 1.5lbs+ on their first run. If you're spending thousands of dollars on equipment and only getting a few hundred dollars in final product then there are lots of things you can do to improve. Don't give up. A 1oz yield (worth a few hundred dollars) is tiny compared to what people actually get for a harvest. Allocate some time to research, have patience, and you will succeed.
