hydrofarm thermostat Question

thanks yall. welp time will tell

Accuracy is slippery it means different things to different people. I am fussy I will simply not accept more than one degree off of correct.

I suggested the rescue I work for buy some (7 i think) After they arrived we checked and rejected them as unacceptable. I feeling bad paid for them. I ended up with a few more later. Of the 12 of them 2 were beyond the specs (4 degrees off) it was quite a feat to get them returned.

You get what you pay for. To save 60$ you get poor accuracy. I would really suggest an accurate thermometer with it! Personally one with better specs than +\- 1 degree f sadly this is going to cost much more than 60$.

I didn't mean spend $60 on a tstat. I was saying that spending the $30 on a hydrofarm when you could spend $60 more and get the intro Herpstat for a $100 is a better decision. The Herpstat will last and works out being cheaper in the long run. Sorry if I want clear.

lol guys, i understand, see i searched them in forum search and intually got great reviews. after going back and looking at other herp forums and this one aswell, well they seem to suck, time will tell when i get it, as said above herpstat 2(lets me control 2x dif temps, I belive, if i remmeber right) will be in future atm i know my ranco is acurite to the nth. acurite and heat gun tells me that. so i will use ranco on bps and if hydro works, i will use it on corn,till get cash for herpstat 2

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. My hydrofarm works great. I've used it for over 6 months on 2 different UTHs and never had an issue. It puts out whatever temp I set it to.

You will love the Herpstat. I have the 1 & 4. The four is just simply amazing, it does everything.

I've got two that have been running great for the last three months I've had them. Eventually I'll get a herpstat.

My Herpstat 1 arrived today for the rack that's getting built this weekend. Can't wait to use it. The Hydrofarm will be kept in reserve for quarantine cages. And I know a Herpstat 2 is in my future sooner or later.

does the herpstat2 come plug and play. my ranco came with the surge in it. and all i had to do was set it up

Far as I know it should work just like a hydrofarm. Plug in heat source, plug tstat into wall, set temp, check at intervals to make sure temps are good.
