Hey baliboy @Frank Cannon , i expect to receive my new growtent heaters today:

For my tents that aren’t on environmental controllers. I’ve ordered each of these to test, thanks to a post by @schmebulock :

One thing to keep in mind if you use any of these, is that whatever machine you are trying to control needs to be one that will turn on without human intervention. For example, the 4L ultrasonic humidifiers i am using in most of my tents do not turn on without me pressing a button....these controllers are worthless for them.

I really like this humidifier, cuz it turns on without intervention, and also has it’s own variable volume controller:

i own the humidity only one and have it plugged into my 40 gallon humidifier:

Your tent seems to be a circus tent, bro! Looks not really elefant proof..
I can see them already rubbing their asses on that hole... OMG, feels that good

In the process of building a humidifier, so this post comes in handy
I've ordered one of those humidifier/atomizer donut-thingies and suspect you use something alike in that bin and have the fan blow the vapour out the hole?

yeppers - 3 disc fogger in a 40 gallon recycle trash can - just refill every couple weeks

not sure what you mean lol - this humidifier just sits in same room as my tents - it doesn't pump directly into the tents

Just kidding, bro! Cause it looks a little... lets say .. over sized, lol!
I first thought there would be a plant inside. Have seen plenty of "bucket grows" with LEDs ...
Main thing is it works and keeps the humidity where you want it..
I have to deal myself with the humidity every time depending on the weather and it drives me crazy sometimes.
So I have to built something myself and I'm not sure how it will look like when its done, lol!

I have already the parts to build something that works like an automatic humidifier but not really an idea what to use as housing/water reservoir.
A 24v/1A wall plug driver (3,60), a humidity controller with built in relay(9,80), a 24v/1A atomizer(5 bucks) and a small 40mm 24v fan(1,70, all e3ay) to blow air thru a 2,5l milk can or something I can use as water reservoir.

Design is still not final yet cuz my grow area is pretty small (4x 2,5') and I need to make some tests if one of these atomizers is sufficient or not. Would like to have the controller outside on the wall next to my LED drivers. Would be nice to control everything from one point..

Heat sinks backsides are finally painted and I can start assembling them this weekend. The free space between the fins is for a small driver housing for UVB ballast, far-red trigger and a Sonoff dual. Boards and additional diodes are driven remotely and the driver case is mounted outside the groom on the wall.
Hopefully all fits like calculated...

Any updates on how well that Ceramic heater bulb worked?

did Or_gro stop posting on this page as well?

Unfortunately

Is he done logging this grows?
