How do I hang my Grow Sensor in my environment?
Proper placement of your GrowSensor is key to getting accurate and reliable readings. Follow these steps for the best setup:
Positioning the sensor
Hang it at canopy level - Align the sensor's top with the tops of your plants for the most relevant environmental data.
Adjust as your plants grow - Move the sensor up as your plants develop to maintain accuracy.
Avoiding interference
Keep it away from direct airflow - Position it away from fans, vents, or extreme conditions that can distort temperature and humidity readings.
Centre it in your grow space - If possible, hang the sensor directly below your lights rather than off to the side.
Mounting with the hanging cable
The Grow Sensor includes a simple and effective cable system for easy height adjustments:
Secure the zip tie around the top of your frame or grow tent pole.
Thread the hanging cable through the zip tie and tighten it.
Keep the cable accessible so you can adjust it as needed.
Pull the cable end to raise the sensor as your plants grow - it will move with them.
At the end of your grow, lower and reposition the sensor at canopy height for your next cycle.
Using a tripod mount (Alternative option)
The Grow Sensor also features a standard threaded tripod mount on the bottom of the unit. This is perfect for setups where hanging the sensor from a cable isn’t possible. Any standard tripod will work.
